They give you a list of names/phone #s (all Democrats except for a couple NPAs), they give you a script, and they'll give you training if you need it. You can go in to the party office and make calls in-person there or do it remotely. I sat on my own sofa tonight for a few hours and called people. Asked if they are supporting Val Demings and Charlie Crist and if they have a plan to vote. Oh, and if they would like to volunteer to phonebank! The Democratic Party in my area is looking for volunteers.

This is so much better than stressing over the horse race, or what crazy thing the MAGAts had to say today. We simply must keep our eyes on the prize and not be distracted. JUST DO IT!!

I did it for a couple of decades, but I hated it. Just don't like phone work. So I made a decision to cut that part of my game out.

But glad to hear there are folks out there who love to do it. Go Get them!

But I like it a lot better than having a House or Senate dominated by fascist whackjobs!!
