My hubby and I are working on our latest batches of Blue Wave postcards. When we get them in the mail, that will make 2,100 cards thus far—and we’re not slowing down, and we’re not going back!
My wife ordered and we just received an order of Kamala Caps and T Shirts, but I don't get it a picture of a Cats face followed by La (Catla). I am waiting for a lawn sign , large with a Photo of Kamala and under it Madam President.
The first time in my 85 years that I will be voting for,over and above voting against.
2016 and 2020 were votes against Trump,not for Hillary or Biden.
Those two experiences are so opposite from each other. I hit the like button on your shaking JFK's hand. Then I saw the about the day he was shot, and I had to unlike because of that. I have a clear memory of that day, but I was only 10, and staying overnight at my best friend's house, which was a big deal. The next day was the first time I ever saw my mother cry--when she was driving me home from my best friend's house.
I am concentratingon postcards for NC (where I live), but I'm on the mailing list for Blue Wave and their frequency of announcing new campaigns is definitely accellerating - grassroots volunteers are gobbling up each batch of postcards fresh off the presses!
At the same time we BYOP. I sent mine to FL and WI yesterday.
Meanwhile FT 6 phone banking calls the same population of unregistered folk who trend Democratic. About 1 MM in FL alone. Those folks are waiting to hear from us.
Blue Wave postcards are pre-printed with all the info necessary -- website to visit to check your registration, register, or re-register, etc. -- and a pro-democracy message on the front. They're colorful cards, and well designed. They also come with pre-printed labels! And you can buy postcard stamps from them, too. They can also provide help with the cost of stamps. They've got it goin' on!
Hope you got info. I use Active America. Look for their website. Sign up. Then you can choose from several campaigns. Don't know about help with stamps.
I was missing the excitement and energy of the recent Olympics and then the DNC occurred and filled the gap. Wow!
This excitement for Kamala Harris at the DNC is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in politics.
Kamala's acceptance of the Democratic nomination marks a historic milestone and sets a powerful tone for the campaign. It's going to go down in history as one of the most important ever!
I’m donating more tonight and challenge everyone to do what they can!
Also, I ordered this funny "Kamala removes stubborn orange stains" t-shirt too 👇 🤣
I wrote a letter to the editor about a section of Project 2025 and how it will hurt people in my state. Find something that resonates in your state and write a letter to the editor about why even conservatives should vote for Harris!
Literature stuffing for Democratic candidates Friday night, canvassing Saturday, and a group of 15 friends are postcard writing on Sunday. Looks like a good weekend ahead! Ridin’ the wave!
Adam was great. Panetta also really hit a chord. whoever the organizers were for this convention were brilliant! They have reached out and touched all of us.
Kinzinger's "Democracy knows no party" was my first takeaway. Second was when Kamala said, "We have so much more in common than our differences," which underscored all the Big Tent inclusion of the past month (Republicans for Harris!) and the diversity of Democratic movers and shakers at the DNC.
However mad I was at Nancy Pelosi for stepping out of her lane, I suspect she took readings and was concerned, had an acute perception of possibility, and engineered it to make it happen--this momentous movement we are witnessing, and that each of us is doing our part to really make it happen on Nov. 5!
I don’t understand how folks can be mad at Pelosi — I was ridin’ with Biden but see now that he didn’t have it and would have been crushed. I’m grateful to those in the party who persuaded or pressured Joe to withdraw. And I salute Joe for a great presidency and the courage to step away.
I shared what some of your readers are describing: fury at Nancy P for backing away from Biden. Clearly she knew more than we did and understood that the party needed a different candidate- which was clearly Kamala- in order to give us the best chance against Trump. that he would struggle to defeat Trump.
Pelosi just saw this dilemma with Dianne Feinstein, and that is an instance where it would have been kinder to Feinstein's memory if she had resigned well before she died. There may not be an easy way to make generational transitions when the retiring generation has such deep experience that they experience themselves as essential.
My generation asked "Where were you when Kennedy was shot?" In 50 years my kids will ask their friends "Where were you when Kamala was nominated?' Now we need to make sure that they can also ask "Where were you when Kamala was sworn in as the 47th president?" Let's do the work to get her elected and elect her the Senate and House to allow her make her agenda a reality. GO Kamala!!!
She was and I (and Robert) can attest to that. She never backed down from a fight and often that was with police departments when she was prosecutor for San Francisco. The officers weren’t crazy about her. It was rather exciting to see a sheriff and a chief officer bring praises for Kamala.
We are watching and living a historical moment in America's history, where a mixed race woman is the Democratic candidate for President of the United States. After Hillary lost I thought I wouldn't see another woman run for President in my lifetime. Yet...here we are!
I read a great post yesterday that said something like Hillary set the stage for Kamala to break the glass ceiling. We are all here to help her do just that! 💙
Rebel408. My thoughts exactly. At 82, I honestly thought I wouldn’t see the day a woman was elected. Hillary did help set staged and gave a memorable speech as well.
Me, too - canvassing in Maine next Saturday, and writing postcards, and donating, and have bumper stickers and my whole family, including my 2 young daughters and my 3 golden retrievers are coming with me, and we are all wearing Kamala tshirts (dogs, too!) KAMALA FOR THE PEOPLE!
Kamala is impressive. No doubt she will protect democracy here and around the globe and bring joy to all. Trump brings nothing but degradation, fear, chaos and vulnerability. Who would ever want that for themselves or their children? They certainly are "weird" and unhinged as is the would-be dictator.
With the right mocking her joy and laughter as if that made her a lightweight, this speech must have them quaking. She's strong, serious, fierce...she's presidential.
I have loved and been proud of every moment of the convention. Yet, during the down time when CSPAN took questions from callers, not one independent or Republican I heard call in said they were switching their vote. One Republican caller said that Donald Trump had done so much for him and the Democrats nothing. There is still so much work to be done.
What the hell am I going to do tomorrow night? These four nights have been so fabulous, so exciting, so uplifting. WOW!
I feel your pain...we will get out and work to be sure she's in the White House in Jan. as President.
There's work to be done, as Michelle Obama and Oprah said...DO SOMETHING!!!

I think the cat image is in a comma. As is
“Comma La”
I'm curious. Who was the first presidential candidate you voted against?
Ronnie Raygun
“… Zaps Unruly Students”. (Signs at Pomona College in 1969.)
I most remember the first one I voted for. Will never forget shaking JFK’s hand as he deplaned in Sioux Falls, SD.

👏👏
Wow! That is impressive beyond my ability to expess it!
☺️ Blue Wave makes the whole process as fast and easy as possible!
I'm a novice re post cards. How does Blue Wave work? How do you know what to order? Are labels provided? Can you get help with the cost of stamps?
Blue Wave postcards are pre-printed with all the info necessary -- website to visit to check your registration, register, or re-register, etc. -- and a pro-democracy message on the front. They're colorful cards, and well designed. They also come with pre-printed labels! And you can buy postcard stamps from them, too. They can also provide help with the cost of stamps.

Can’t wait to say “Madam President.”
I love the tee shirt. Where did you get it? I want to get one too!
Here is the link: libtees-2.creator-spring.com/listing/votek
😉
That is great!
That's a great one! I also like, "Grab him by the ballot!"
https://www.etsy.com/market/grab_him_by_the_ballot
Totally agree!!! Olympics to this...wow--what a rush! and me too-- 2 donations today!
I want it to go on forever, and also ready to get some sleep before we get to work!
I wrote a letter to the editor about a section of Project 2025 and how it will hurt people in my state. Find something that resonates in your state and write a letter to the editor about why even conservatives should vote for Harris!
I'll be writing letters from Vote Forward.
I’m organizing Democrats in Guanajuato, Mexico, to write Vote Forward letters. I committed to 1000, and we’re two-thirds there.
They’ll be driven to the US at the end of September to be mailed.
Me too! I organized a group of friends and got them to write letters too!
Easy activism! www.votefwd.org
Ditto!
So true!
If we get out the millions of unregistered folk who trend Democratic, and those that failed to vote in 2020, we win.

Paralympics start next week! They deserve as much love as the Olympics!
I’m going to be writing letters for Swing Left.
I felt the same way!!
Literature stuffing for Democratic candidates Friday night, canvassing Saturday, and a group of 15 friends are postcard writing on Sunday. Looks like a good weekend ahead! Ridin’ the wave!
I’m going yo be writing letters to voters.
I feel the same way. I keep thinking,”Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened!”
YES!!!!!!!!! feel the same!
“Democracy knows no party … it separates us from tyranny.” - Adam Kinzinger
Adam was great. Panetta also really hit a chord. whoever the organizers were for this convention were brilliant! They have reached out and touched all of us.
Seems like a whole bunch of Republicans talked at this convention! There's hope! The message of USA first, parties second--so inspiring.
Donald is a Fascist and a Putin lover. He has little if anything to do with being a Republican as most of us have understood the term.
I couldn’t agree more. It was fabulously produced. Every speaker added a different twist- music, tears, humor, sincerity, heartbreak, and…optimism!!💜
I totally agree!!! The organizing was incredible and did not miss a thing! And there was such a short time to put it all together!! Brilliant!!
I love Adam Kinzinger!
He is a brave man!
Kinzinger's "Democracy knows no party" was my first takeaway. Second was when Kamala said, "We have so much more in common than our differences," which underscored all the Big Tent inclusion of the past month (Republicans for Harris!) and the diversity of Democratic movers and shakers at the DNC.

Not just the step away, but the way he orchestrated this switch and the timing! It was brilliant! Look at us. We are all on the same page for once!!!!
I shared what some of your readers are describing: fury at Nancy P for backing away from Biden. Clearly she knew more than we did and understood that the party needed a different candidate- which was clearly Kamala- in order to give us the best chance against Trump. that he would struggle to defeat Trump.
I was not as angry at Nancy as much as I am still mad at Adam Schiff. He was the first one to throw Biden a nasty curve!
Pelosi just saw this dilemma with Dianne Feinstein, and that is an instance where it would have been kinder to Feinstein's memory if she had resigned well before she died. There may not be an easy way to make generational transitions when the retiring generation has such deep experience that they experience themselves as essential.
And it’s the women leading the way. Righting the imbalanced ship.
Annoyed with my CO senators and Congress rep who spoke publically against Biden ... and that none of them were speaking at DNC or there it seemed.
That’s what I’ve been thinking too. Lost all respect for Pelosi
Kamala: pitch perfect tone. Kamala Harris, for the people!
That's the title of tonight's newsletter.
Have they done any ads with that slogan yet? They should.
It's a perfect slogan, in so many ways.
Yep, ya got that right!
My generation asked "Where were you when Kennedy was shot?" In 50 years my kids will ask their friends "Where were you when Kamala was nominated?' Now we need to make sure that they can also ask "Where were you when Kamala was sworn in as the 47th president?" Let's do the work to get her elected and elect her the Senate and House to allow her make her agenda a reality. GO Kamala!!!
Olga, you couldn't have said that better. Thanks.
Thank you, Adam Kinzinger!
She’s excellent at modulating her tone and volume: soft, louder, serious, enthusiastic, angry, optimistic, inspiring, very good speaker!!!
I think we've been sold spin and image for so long that we have forgotten the beauty of authenticity. It is refreshing.
Excellent point!
All I can say is she must have been a heck of a prosecutor. Those skills would be extremely valuable in keeping a jury engaged.
She was and I (and Robert) can attest to that. She never backed down from a fight and often that was with police departments when she was prosecutor for San Francisco. The officers weren’t crazy about her. It was rather exciting to see a sheriff and a chief officer bring praises for Kamala.
This is what a President looks like!
We are watching and living a historical moment in America's history, where a mixed race woman is the Democratic candidate for President of the United States. After Hillary lost I thought I wouldn't see another woman run for President in my lifetime. Yet...here we are!

Canvassing again this Saturday in N.C. ...all in for Kamala. Loved Gov. Cooper... our Gov.
On Saturday, I'm canvassing in red Shenandoah County VA. Every vote matters!
As a Virginian now in NC, thank you!!
thank you for making the most of the next 74 days!
Turn NC Blue!
I will be with you - We Are NOT Going Back!
Canvassing this Saturday in Maine too!
Me, too - canvassing in Maine next Saturday, and writing postcards, and donating, and have bumper stickers and my whole family, including my 2 young daughters and my 3 golden retrievers are coming with me, and we are all wearing Kamala tshirts (dogs, too!) KAMALA FOR THE PEOPLE!
So excited and proud that our wonderful governor Roy Cooper got the honor of speaking before Kamala accepted the nomination. What a thrill!!
He was so Roy and so good! My Gov, too!
Roy Cooper is wonderful.
"Kamala Harris, for The People"...fabulous line!
Kamala is kicking the f***ing door open and taking that glass ceiling down with it!!!
...for such a time as this...
Happy Anniversary to Kamala & Doug! 🎉🫶🍾🎈🍾🫶🎉
I will be donating $17.76 to Harris Walz during Kamala's speech.
That's good. I'll do $20.24.
Maybe someone will donate $4700!!
Or $270!!!
The energy has been off the charts all week--it's so inspirational! But there's still so much work to be done. This is just the beginning.
Kamala is impressive. No doubt she will protect democracy here and around the globe and bring joy to all. Trump brings nothing but degradation, fear, chaos and vulnerability. Who would ever want that for themselves or their children? They certainly are "weird" and unhinged as is the would-be dictator.
Thank you all Republicans supporting Kamala & Tim! And, thank you DNC for your service!
With the right mocking her joy and laughter as if that made her a lightweight, this speech must have them quaking. She's strong, serious, fierce...she's presidential.
Trump is on the DEFENSE on his hahaha truth social page. I’m refreshing that as she speaks …
And his half dozen fans are hitting "like" like Crazy!!
I have loved and been proud of every moment of the convention. Yet, during the down time when CSPAN took questions from callers, not one independent or Republican I heard call in said they were switching their vote. One Republican caller said that Donald Trump had done so much for him and the Democrats nothing. There is still so much work to be done.
One of our first duties should be to rid ourselves of FOX News.
and redirect CNN, NBC, CBS, NPR/PBS, et al
A debate with Trump? Hahahaha!!! He’ll have A TOUGH TIME 💙💙
