Some fantastic, positive & hopeful news!

The Dems are not playing!

This is the official list for my county here in Florida - look at the number of Dems who signed up to be poll watchers today (just a local election not even a major one) so they can fight the repug shenanigans as it happens in real time: over a 100! Compare this to the repugs - only 15.

Repugs are underestimating our strength behind the scenes because they are only eyeballing us on TV or social media.

Joe and his campaign has gathered a group of 600 lawyers and more than 10,000 volunteers to fight against possible “chicanery” in the November election.
