Very much appreciated! And a very important message.

Everyone on DU has something they can contribute. That obviously includes voting. If everyone gets one unregistered adult, including those who feel abandoned by "the system," or who sees no connection between politics and their daily life, to register and vote, we double our numbers. If everyone contacted one elected representative once a week, that's a good thing. If the DU community focused on one elected representative on a given day, that would be great.

There are levels of government, and we should also focus on supporting the Democrats doing outstanding work, and joining the campaigns of Democrats seeking to unseat republicans. Exact same thing at the local level. It is good to do this as individuals, and even more fun working with a group of friends. I've worked with some of my associates for over fifty years. A number of others have joined us over the decades. Some stay, and some go. But our core group of Democrats keeps grass roots activism going.
