Georgia. Focus. Please.

The US Senate.

If we focus with Stacey Abrams on the two contested US Senate seats, we can deliver the Senate to Joe Biden.

Or we can be distracted and leave President Biden stuck with Mitch and his crew.

Let's help Stacey help Georgia register more voters and win both seats. Thank you.

We can’t do anything about the presidential election - leave that to Joe’s legal team and campaign team that have been planning for shenanigans this entire race.

But we CAN affect the all-important Senate races. Let’s do that, rather than obsess over when the last races get called.

They know what they are doing. They did it great in the Nov election. Give them all the resources to keep doing it for January. My fear is that a whole bunch of other groups that don't know how to get things done in Georgia go down there and muck things up for those that know what they are doing.

And will donate another 100 next month's budget period.

Caveat: I am wary about donating. Except for Obama, every one I ever donated to, lost. I even waited to the last minute to donate to Hillary Clinton, when I was sure she would win. And she lost. I donated to Elizabeth Warren. She lost.

So, when Biden/Harris came up, I was jaded. I was sure I was donator cursed. So I didn't donate...and they won.

I am donating to fairfight because it's for the Senate race. I hope that makes a difference.

even though my voting experience was completely trouble free on Nov 3rd. Paper all the way for January. I've requested my absentee ballot and signed up with ballot trax - I am ready! I donated earlier in the week and will be sending more in the next weeks between now and the runoff. I am also going to get busy this weekend volunteering to send postcards or something so that I can do my part to help.

You're right, Alex. We need to focus. Let's do this thing!
