Are you enraged and heartsick about what’s going on along our southern border, where vicious, white supremacist, anti-Hispanic RACIST Stephen Miller is determining policy? Are you horrified and appalled at the death grip the monstrous Wayne LaPierre and the rest of the NRA have on our Congress and state houses? Are you sick and tired of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) writing radical right wing extremism into the laws of our states? Are you sick and tired of the horrible crook Mitch McConnell smirking as he stuffs the judiciary with Trump appointees? Most of all, have you had enough of the mentally unbalanced, narcissistic, pathological liar Trump, who is nothing more than a criminal, a con man, and a TRAITOR to his own country? In short—
HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH? ARE YOU READY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
My goal is simple:
To reach out to as many Democrats across America as possible, to reach all those who want to take ACTION, who want to DO SOMETHING in the 2018 campaign, but aren’t sure where to turn.
That’s ALL I’m trying to do. Every day, I post a diary that lists every Democratic candidate for office that my AWESOME fellow Kossacks and I have gathered information on. I have a list of candidates, broken down by state and district. I have links to ALL their websites. Then I have a HUGE number of tools available to us to help those candidates.
DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO HELP THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN IN 2018? PUT THIS DIARY IN THEIR HANDS!! IT IS A PLAN FOR TAKING ACTION. HERE IS TODAY’S EDITION:
I do not do this to call attention to myself. Anyone who knows me knows that’s not where I’m at at all. But I’m 66 years old. I have three grandchildren. I lived through the turmoil of Vietnam and the civil rights movement, saw bitter divisions in my beloved country over Iraq, all of it. BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE CONCERNED FOR THE FUTURE OF MY COUNTRY THAN I AM NOW. NEVER. I cannot just sit here and watch as right-wing criminals and fanatics attack the very foundations of our Republic. I FIGHT BACK!
It may be an act of futility on my part. Maybe I won’t change or bring out a single vote. But I am DAMNED well going to try.
I need your help, my friends. I am slowly but surely filling in the names of all Democratic candidates for Federal office, and all Democratic candidates for governor, with links to their websites. With the help of tremendous Kossacks, I have linked to diaries that list Democratic legislative candidates and their websites in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Iowa, Oregon, and Texas. I have pledges lined up for diaries about our candidates in New York, Ohio, Illinois, and Kentucky. (The idea is to post a diary listing all of our candidates and their websites, and then I link to that diary in mine. That way, we get the most views for each.) If you would like to volunteer for a state, that would be AWESOME. My priorities right now are Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, and Florida, but any state you choose would be great.
Second, I want to list all candidates other than governor for state executive branch offices (Lt. Governor, Secretary of State—KEY!!--Attorney General, Treasurer, etc.) and links to their websites. If you could do that for me by finding info on a state, that would be awesome. So far, I only have the Lt. Governor candidate for Texas. I would so grateful for your help.
We cannot fail to act! We cannot fail, PERIOD. We must win THIS year! In order to do this, I implore you, my dear Kossacks, to help me out—AND SPREAD THE WORD!
