For the phone banks do they do the training at the beginning of the event? I didn’t see any info on their phone banking system before signing up? Yes, they train at the beginning, for about 45 minutes to an hour, then they release you into the wild. If you're already trained you can just use your Thrutalk link from your email and get started.

Minerva I’ll keep an extra close eye out for mine. It was very obviously not junk mail, right? Yes! You couldn’t mistake it for anything else. 😁

Just following up to say this training is awesome. I’ve done phone banking before but like to get a refresher and they did a good job.

The University of Utah is moving to all virtual classes in preparation for the VP debates that are happening in a couple weeks. Some of it was originally planned but they added another week to attempt to slow the spread of Covid also. It’s been such a weird campaign season that I completely forgot we have debates coming up.

Good news out of Wisconsin. Yesss! I got my absentee ballot and I’ll be mailing it either tomorrow or Wednesday (I have to have DH sign it so whenever he can get to it between his crazy hours). That should give it plenty of time to get there because I trust no one. But I’m glad to hear about the extension!

When I was doing calls for North Carolina yesterday that was one of the main points we were hitting. No one was aware. Yikes. They said the number one reason ballots are getting rejected there is because a lack of witness information/signature.

I'm always amazed by phonebank/canvas scripts here not reminding people to bring photo ID (and masks this year!) Weird, it kinda seems like these barriers to casting a constitutionally guaranteed vote are complete bullshit.

I still haven't gotten my stickers that I ordered the day Kamala was announced as VP. I really want one to go beside my Jaime Harrison sticker on my car.

"A $1 billion fund Congress gave the Pentagon in March to build up the country’s supplies of medical equipment has instead been mostly funneled to defense contractors and used for making things such as jet engine parts, body armor and dress uniforms... The Cares Act, which Congress passed earlier this year, gave the Pentagon money to “prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus.” But a few weeks later, the Defense Department began reshaping how it would award the money in a way that represented a major departure from Congress’s original intent... There remains a severe shortage of N95 masks at numerous U.S. hospitals. These are the types of problems that the money was originally intended to address. “This is part and parcel of whether we have budget priorities that actually serve our public safety or whether we have a government that is captured by special interests,” said Mandy Smithberger, a defense analyst at the Project on Government Oversight, a watchdog group." Pentagon used taxpayer money meant for masks and swabs to make jet engine parts and body armor By Aaron Gregg and Yeganeh Torbati www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/09/22/covid-funds-pentagon/

I don’t get why these Republican Senators in tight races are falling all over themselves to declare they will confirm Trump’s pick. They know it will cost them their senate seat. Do they not care? Is it blackmail? The cult? Do they have a cushy lobbyist job lined up? I don’t get it.
Why not just say nothing and conform during the vote? We all know they will, but why make things worse for themselves?

I think it’s all about power at this point. They are going to go along with the things that are most likely to keep them in power. Nothing else matters but that. They think T will win and they want to be hitched to the power.

IMO Because they are more scared of a) the immediate blow back hurting their election campaigns when Trump tweets and b) what their life would look like should Trump win in November. Let’s face it, for most we live for the day the playground bully gets taken down but until that happens you try not to draw attention to yourself in any meaningful fashion.

VA ladies, orgs are trying to get the word out to vote NO for the proposed constitutional amendment. It’s worded such that it allows Gerrymandering instead of preventing out. I actually ran into a neighbor that was planning to vote tomorrow AM and had been planning to vote yes, so phew!
