So the time to GOTV is now. I know that Kos folks are activists so I am preaching to the choir. I know that, but the fact remains, if we don’t have a GOTV campaign that is at a minimum as good as the GOTV campaign last election, we are going to lose the House, possibly the Senate, and many state level races.
I know that people are motivated by different things, and I know that people can be unmotivated by different things. The fact that we are likely to get creamed might depress some people into giving up. On the other hand, it might bring out the fight in people. Either way, the fact remains that if we don’t make an all out effort , all out effort, we are going to get creamed. That’s reality.

Yeah, I know, that ‘s just two sets of data points. I’m not going to get into an argument about whether we should inspire ourselves to greater efforts through positive thinking or through realistic thinking. The fact remains, if we don’t make and extraordinary effort, an effort beyond what has been done in an off year, we are going to get creamed.
I have written around four hundred GOTV letters so far. I am writing for campaigns in PA, AZ, GA, NH and NV. I plan to write a minimum of ten to twenty letters a day until October when I will switch to phone calls. I am giving monthly donations of modest amounts to six campaigns. This is more than I have ever done, Last election I wrote around three hundred letters, and I didn’t start donating money this early. I am writing these dairies here in hopes that someone who is already active will maybe do a little more because, frankly, I am scared.
