What have you done to help Hillary and Dems win? Do ANYTHING you can. Here is what I have done:

1) Lots of work for my local Dem state legislature candidate: phone calls, lit drops, putting up signs, driving for the candidate so he can knock on doors, etc. Working on these local races helps pull out Dems which helps everyone up and down the ballot because some people might stay home not liking the presidential race, but if they know their local candidate they will go the polls for that, then many will vote for ALL Dems.

2) Many small donations up and down the ballot, even just five or ten bucks at a time. Just did another few small donations yesterday for Hillary and other Dems.

3) Wrote a letter to the editor praising Hillary and ripping Trump which was published in one of the larger state newspapers.

4) Plan to do GOTV phone banking on the weekend before the election.

5) Voted early by mail.


You don't have to do a lot, just a little something to help. Put out a sign. Put on a bumper sticker. Make a five dollar donation. Do a half hour of phone banking. Knock on doors for one shift. Write a one-paragraph letter to the editor. But please do something, anything.

Donated a couple dozen times.

Talked to everyone I know about the importance of this election and electing Hillary.

Posted truth across the internet on several message boards and in the comments section of countless articles.

Proudly displaying my Clinton Kaine lawn sign and stickers.

We have donated on a automatic schedule.

We held a fund raiser at our home.

And we have canvassed, and are scheduled to canvass three more times.

And of course taken to social media to persuade those pesky undecided types. Yes they do exist believe it or not.

America, keeping it great!
