I’m an old political hand. Been following American politics in a serious way since I was 11 or so. (I’m 66 now. I know, a wasted life.) I am really excited about Beto O’Rourke, and I hate and despise Ted Cruz, so I contacted the O’Rourke campaign to do whatever I could.
And I am IMPRESSED with their response, to say the least. This is a PROFESSIONAL operation. They have sent text messages to me on a regular basis. Naturally, my email inbox is being bombarded (I don’t mind). But what just finished not too long ago has convinced me this guy is for real and he has a real shot. The Beto campaign organized a conference call. They sent me multiple messages that made it easy to participate, complete with ways to either call using my cell phone or call through my computer. It went swimmingly. In just one hour they got commitments from more than 100 people WHO LIVE OUT OF STATE to come to Texas and do door knocking for Beto. More impressively, they got more than 200 people to volunteer to do phone banking. In just one call, lasting one hour. People from all over the country were in on this. The desire for victory was palpable.
The Beto campaign intends to PERSONALLY contact at least 3.6 million Texas voters. They have already blocked out 72,000 shifts for door knocking, 50 houses per shift. They already have phone banking infrastructure established. They know where the voters are and they mean to reach ALL of them. They have the money to be competitive in every area. They are registering new voters all over the state.
THIS CAMPAIGN CAN WIN.
I am excited. I am impressed. I will be sending out postcards for Beto, maybe 75 or 100 of them. I will be blasting more money into Beto’s campaign via ActBlue. This is not some amateur operation Beto has working for him. These are PROS. They need our help. We can elect a real Democrat in Texas and flush the vile, disgusting Ted Cruz once and for all. (Beto’s website is HERE.)
GO THERE AND VOLUNTEER!!
So, once again...
