THE ELECTION IS TWO WEEKS AWAY

Unfortunately, the excitement and optimism that followed the August Democratic National Convention has been thoroughly dampened by the tightening polls. As a result, the mood among Democrats can be described as full-on anxiety combined with bouts of depression.

People’s nerves are fraying yet we absolutely cannot afford to lose this one.

In my opinion, pessimism is unwarranted and fixating on the horse race is unhelpful. It is unwarranted because it’s based on media hype, along with inaccurate predictions, and questionable polling data. And it is unhelpful if it leads people to inaction.

The point is, now is the time to ignore your fears, ignore that anxiety and do something. One way to help is to send postcards. If you are interested in this option, contact Beth Miller by email at bmiller297@gmail.com. Another way to help is by signing up for a 2-hour session of phone banking or door knocking. You can sign up by contacting Tamara Poelstra right now at 208 704 6943 or by completing our GOTV Signup Form.

So, be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem.

And remember, no matter how you choose to get involved, it all helps to Get Out the Vote.

HARRIS WALZ SIGNS AVAILABLE

As an additional incentive, we have acquired more than 200 Harris Walz yard and window signs! They are available to local Democrats for a donation of $20. You can also earn one by signing up for a 2-hour shift to Get Out the Vote.

I thank you, and so will your grandchildren.
