I just made the largest political donation I have ever made - to Stacey Abrams

[SYFROYH]

For a long time, my donations were small because I had to support my family and there was always more medical, school, or credit card debt that needed payments.

Yesterday, I donated $1000 to Stacey Abrams. For most of us, that's a lot of money and it still is for me, but things are better financially and ousting Brian Kemp from the governor's office is essential.

It's going to be difficult. The Republican-dominated legislature and Kemp have made it more difficult to vote by mail.

Please give if you can.

4. Wow - thank you!

And so many blessings to you for this!

I am thinking about how my husband, though an electoral supporter, was not an avid financial supporter, until the campaigns of two other wonderful Georgians: Warnock and Ossoff! Last election cycle.

Go, Stacy!

8. I will follow

I am always sorry that I am not a Dem Zillionaire..............

I laugh whenever I hear about one of the Dem Mega Billionaires getting press for giving ten million, one hundred million, etc to some good cause or candidate. It is appreciated, but when you are worth 50 Billion plus, it is merely pocket or dash change........

“Formerly poor” will have to do.

11. In it to win it

We sent in $20.22 this week when she announced. Even though it’s been 25 years since I lived in GA I’ve been motivated to support her by her speech and actions. Besides that Kemp fellow is a total putz.

12. Thank you!

With both Abrams and Sen. Warnock on the ballot, we should be able to motivate more less-likely voters in 2022 than in a typical off-year election. So this is a great use of your donation $$.

One thing I noticed in both Nov. 2020 and Jan. 2021 is that more Democrats than usual turned out in counties all across the state. Even in counties that Trump and Perdue/Loeffler won, the margin of Republican victory was tighter than usual. Add up a few hundred votes in several counties, a couple of thousand in others, plus the blue tsunami in Fulton, DeKalb, and other Dem urban areas, and in a state-wide election you can put together a winning formula.

We can thank Stacey Abrams, Nse Ufot, and other activists for their tireless work in getting out the vote in those two elections — and thus for the razor-thin Dem majority in the Senate.

Obviously, it also didn’t hurt that a bunch of GQP voters sat the election out, especially in 1/21, because they’d been brainwashed that it was all “rigged.” We can’t count on that again, and with the Kemp-Raffensperger-legislature voter suppression tactics in play for 2022, we’ve definitely got our work cut out for us.

I’ll be contributing dollars and sweat to the Stacey Abrams campaign (as well as Warnock’s) in the coming months. It’s great to know we have a lot of people rooting for our success.
