Mar 2018

The haters and racists and russia supporters will never come to the light. Those who voted for drumpf out of ignorance, like one of our ex-military officer friends, have seen the truth and already stated they regret their vote and will never vote for him again. If they haven't seen yet his lying cheating fraudulent and treasonous ways, they never will. So, we have already picked up some. However, we didn't lose because of them. We lost because of Russia, that is what needs to change the most. We can generate a huge blue wave, but if russia increases their vote stealing efforts will it even matter? We have to do both - fight russia as the top priority & GOTV. I will be volunteering at the local Dem office to help with the later and wish I knew more to do to fight russia. I've been calling and writing my legislators, encouraging action.

Does anyone have any other good suggestions as to what we as citizens can do to push this effort along?
