Your weekly checklist to show up, support, and make your voice heard. November is coming!
We hope you had a nice, relaxing Labor Day weekend because...it's time to get to work! There are ten weeks between now and Tuesday, November 8 - Election Day. We don't have to tell you that things are a mess both locally and nationwide - it's overwhelming how awful legislation created an even more awful aftermath. Remember, this happened because of the elected people who currently hold political office. Do these elected officials represent your personal views and perspectives? If they don't we have an opportunity over the next several weeks to send a strong message - that they need to go. Over the next ten weeks, PCDWA will send you weekly emails listing Action Plans under the categories of Give Time or Give Money. We hope that you will join us and choose one thing each week to either support Democratic candidates or Get Out The Vote (GOTV).
And every week: If there aren’t enough workers, the polls won’t open, potential suppressing voters. Become a poll worker - either election judge or election clerk - contact Bonnie Mathias, Dallas Democratic Party bonnie@dallasdemocrats.org
