Do any of you write postcards? If so, where do you do it through? I have a bunch of my own and a bunch of awesome stamps, but I have no idea how to start. A local group does packets, but I haven't been able to get one yet. I imagine there must be a way to sign up online. I googled, but I have no idea how to tell what's legit. I go through Postcards To Voters: postcardstovoters.org/ and Grassroots Democrats HQ: grassrootsdems.org/ (under the menu, go to Volunteer and then Write Postcards From Home)

I can't find anywhere that needs postcard writers and I have 200 of them plus postage that I need to use up! I bought mine for a local campaign but apparently they don't need any more.

If you guys have more money you want to donate, Theresa Greenfield is running against Joni Ernst and it is a very close race. David Wasserman spoke to our organization this week and said out of all the close senate races, if he had to pick one for the democrats to win, it would be this one. For some reason it doesn’t get as much shine as the others but it is a possible pick up.

Thank you for sharing this. I didn't know this and it's comforting. I hope it helps to bring her loved ones some peace. Same. I had to get off Twitter and thankfully quit FB and IG a couple of months ago. I just want to hear the good stuff. I’ve been up since 3 am because there’s just SO MUCH. I took my anxiety meds and have retreated into a book.

You know what I can’t stop thinking about? That even in her final moments, she was fighting for us. Her death couldn’t even be peaceful, and I hate that for her and her family.

In the night that keeps on giving, my parked car in front of my house just got hit pretty bad 😤 Wtf universe? That is horrible, I’m sorry. Is there any way to hit it a couple times with a bat for rage purposes and add it to the insurance claim? I could really use that as a release right now.

I have to hope that this wasn’t a surprise and someone, somewhere has a plan. Edited because what I mean is I hope that someone in government was close with her and assured her and her family that they would carry on her fight.

I just hope she didn’t feel any sort of guilt. She’s been hospitalized so much, I expected it to be coming soon, but was really hoping for after he was out of office.

Good morning friends. For those of us with open wallets, there’s no getting to 270 without Florida. Donating here is a wise choice too, and there are some very thankful people on the other end: wegotthevote.org/finesandfees/

Regardless of being in an election year or not, I think it's fair to say that maybe an impeached president shouldn't be nominating Supreme Court Justices?

I have been on GD but now I am coming here. Here is the deal. I loaned money to someone and never thought they would pay me back (it’s my BFF). She has and now I find myself with extra funds that can be spent however I want. I have donated to Biden directly (and will again). Tonight I have to McGrath and ActBlue. I need a list. Give it. ETA - mark kelly done votesaveamerica.com/donate/

This is why I was up at 2:00 yesterday morning. It was just me and the expats hanging out chatting DST.

This is encouraging. I know the conventional wisdom is that "only Republicans are motivated by the courts." Maybe more Dem voters are waking up.

Get Mitch is almost at 12 million dollars raised now. It was at only 5mil yesterday evening. I really hope that the money can make a difference in flipping the senate.

Yeah, I had an extra glass of wine last night and woke up with a headache and less money in my bank account. Worth it.
