Greetings Team Blue

Yay! It's Bean Feed Time! One of our biggest fundraisers is set for Saturday, January 25th. Join us! Opinion 2020: The Most Important Election of Our Lifetime Photo by Big Bear Vacations on Pexels You've heard it before, but it's worth repeating: it's up to us to save our form of government - our way of life - for future generations. I know, I know. Many people say Democrats and liberals are exaggerating the situation. That we're alarmists and drama queens. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Here's why: The right wing is strong. VERY strong. They are not about to step back and not fight to hold on to the White House and the U.S. Senate. They will pull out all the lies, innuendos, tricks, money, cheats and brainwashing they can muster. It makes no difference what candidate we nominate. Our selection for the presidency will fall victim to horrific illusions created by ruthless, greedy, hateful people who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Nearly half of the American voting population is in a mental state of denial, and they buy into everything they are told by Republicans and Fox News. They have been and continue to be brainwashed, and they don't even know it. That's the power of brainwashing. If you hear something enough times you will begin to believe it. Once you believe it there's rarely any changing the mind. So how do we combat this powerful hold that is entrenched in so many American minds? There is only one way. It is the way that creates the democracy we know and love. It is the way our founding fathers set up for us so many years ago. It is the way our Constitution gives us to change who is in charge of our government and how our government operates. It is the way each of us can affect the future of this great nation. VOTE. "Yes," you say, "I will vote." But what will you do to help get out the millions of voters we will need to conquer the oligarchy currently ruling our government? Will you volunteer to help a candidate? Will you donate to a candidate or your local democratic committee? Ask yourself: what can I do? What am I willing to do? If you have no answer to those questions, call our office and speak to someone about the plethora of opportunities available for you to get involved. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be technically savvy. You just have to be you and take that first step. Go ahead.
