I am waiting to hear from Democrat leaders how the party plans to take back the Congress in the midterms (one of three ways we can stop the destruction of our democracy is through; Congress, The Courts, and Civil Disorder-aka: Revolution).
Having heard nothing except general fundraising appeals, I decided to write them (National Dem Party Officials) and ask how ordinary concerned people can help defeat the GOP in the midterms even if you dont live in a vulnerable district? I also wrote the five Democrats representing NV. I’m waiting patiently.
In NV odds are pretty good that Dems will prevail so I’m holding my donations to see where there are better uses elsewhere but I’m looking for logical direction. Something specific.
Based on the most recent information available, here's a breakdown of the most vulnerable GOP House and Senate seats.
Vulnerable GOP House Seats:
* Arizona:
* AZ-01 (David Schweikert).
* AZ-06 (Juan Ciscomani).
* Colorado:
* CO-08 (Gabe Evans).
* Iowa:
* IA-01 (Mariannette Miller-Meeks).
* Michigan:
* MI-07 (Tom Barrett).
* Nebraska:
* NE-02 (Don Bacon).
* Pennsylvania:
* PA-07 (Ryan Mackenzie).
* PA-10 (Scott Perry).
Vulnerable GOP Senate Seats:
* North Carolina: Thom Tillis.
* Maine: Susan Collins.
* Ohio: Jon Husted.
* Texas: John Cornyn.
* Louisiana: Bill Cassidy
Even though many of us don't live in nor can we vote in any of these jurisdictions, there should be ways we can be helpful. I’m more than concerned that we’re not hearing about a solid plan, or that there is even a plan. The airwaves, social media, pulpits, newsletters, barber shops & salons, and word of mouth should be saturated by now with “news” about how citizens can help besides forking up hard earned dollars (don't count on mainstream corporate controlled media to say one word). There just needs to be some coordination and excitement building rather than the ho-hum goings on right now.
Maybe if we all took a few minutes to call and write our Reps and the Dem’s central party office, they might get the hint? It’s worth a try. I did it and maybe you can try too. Just make the subject of your inquiry : “Whats the Plan?”
