Monday 9/17 Call to Action

There were three significant events since Friday. Very briefly:
1. Manafort is "fully" cooperating with prosecutors.

2. Hurricane Florence is causing flooding in North Carolina and some deaths.

3. Christine Blasley Ford, who accused SCOTUS Nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault 30 decades ago went public with her accusation.

4. Choose one or a few things to do and do them. Facebook groups are only as good as our ability to effect change.

Check out Vote Forward to send letters to MN-02 (Jason Lewis) in Minnesota. Another hot option is pro-Russia Dana Rorhabacher's CA-48 district in California.

Candidates cannot win without help from us. Commit today to doing your part.
Each candidate on the November ballot has a website where you can sign up to volunteer.
