I phone banked Tuesday night. There was not a single doubt in anyone's mind about showing up to vote for Hillary. I heard some sad stories about employment problems and financial problems, but no one was looking to Trump to fix things.

The last time I phone banked was for Governor Quinn's reelection. I could tell there would be problems. People, including solid Democrats, were not that sure about him. He lost by a narrow margin. We ended up with a tea bagging SOB in the governor's mansion.

The next thing I need to do is go register voters at the community college, and get the kids out to work and to vote. I have another person lined up to do that with me.

Things are scary, and we can't stop working. But we can do this.
