HOW TO MAXIMIZE THIS RESOURCE GUIDE:
With the help of my amazing fellow Kossacks, I am gathering links to the websites of EVERY Democratic candidate for the Senate, the House of Representatives, Governor, other state executive offices, and state legislature. Find your favorite candidate, and then link up with groups like SwingLeft, Act Locally, and others that I have here. Use the information about registration and residency requirements to help register DEMOCRATIC voters in that person’s state or district. If the candidate website does not contain a donations link, use the ones I have here. Use the tools I have listed here for phone banking, door-to-door campaigning, texting, postcard writing, and giving rides to the polls. Further, there are media contact numbers, links to unions, and links for groups aimed at getting out our voters. USE THE WEALTH OF INFORMATION HERE TO HELP OUT THE CANDIDATES OF YOUR CHOICE. Let’s see what we can do together!
I NEED YOU TO HELP ME VIRALIZE THIS!! FACEBOOK, TWITTER, YOUR EMAIL LIST, ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF.
