I put this 3 week old newsletter in queue as a reminder to myself this morning. It popped up today as scheduled and reminded me that the fight continues on, no matter what. Thanks, Robert, for your wisdom and steady hand. We have every reason to be hopeful! But no reason to be complacent. I’ve said that to myself and others so many times over the past week. I feel I’ve done everything I can, and I know so many others have as well. We’re in this together and will fight on, regardless of what happens tonight.
Robert Hubbell, this is the single most helpful piece of advice anyone has yet given on how to hold this and plan for it. It's really a plan for sanity and summoning up the courage to face reality, whatever it is -- and to stay connected. I shared it with my letter writing cohorts. Thank you for your clarity and compassion.
Thank you for this. I voted today in ATL. I voted for Fani Willis to return as DA of the biggest most important county in Georgia. So remember the cautions here in these words to remember that ATL and Fani Willis did the perp walk and mugshot. Mail your ballot early. The post office does work elections well.
You mentioned in yesterdays email about "after election day to “cure” deficient ballots" - I'm in chicago and would like to volunteer to do this...can you help direct me?
Be part of the great postcard drop, to Get Out the VOTE. An estimated 81 million cards are heading to the Swing States (Hopium Chronicles) right before the election. These target the newly registered and intermittent voters. There are countless phonebanks to drop into also. Each contact could be a vote.
As we drove home to Philly Friday through northern PA and Lehigh County, including a stretch of I-80, we saw just about every half mile, static billboards with a picture of Harris and simple messages for working families, like “Kamala Harris wants to raise the minimum wage” and “Kamala Harris will protect Social Security.” It was inspiring and mind blowing! Given their presence on I-80, which stretches across the state, I can only expect that these billboards reach deep into red PA! If anyone knows who is sponsoring this, please leave a link, so we can donate.
THANK YOU ROBERT!!! I feel as though you are an angel in so many lives. I retired a year ago from 40 years of a corporate career and have found joy in my postcard writing and activism. And when I feel a bit drained or beaten down by the latest horrors of MAGA and the mainstream media, I am swiftly picked up by you, Simon Rosenberg, HCR and Jessica Craven. What a gift to be part of these communities!
You have introduced me to so many incredible leaders and activists through the many zoom sessions I’ve joined. I’ve never felt more confident about the deep bench of Democrats that are the new generation of leaders.
Please write more about the flawed models that polling is based on, as you mentioned on the Friday zoom call (10/11/24). I’d like to understand it better in order to share with others.
I love your advice today and look forward to writing that letter to myself.
Wow, fantastic you raised $103,000 for Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and Rep Colin Allred. So great they have pulled up close. Twotvbyterrific candidates!!! Those funds will really help!! I was so sad to miss it but my son had an improv show and it's all unscripted so you can't see it if you miss it.
I keep rereading this issue because it's such a fabulous antidote to the anxiety and nerves. And may I just say that Nate Silver can kiss my ass! Just putting that out there. :D
wonderful leadership. Thank you. I have dread and I worry about people stopping whatever they've been doing on November 6, and I agree with YOU and YOUR point of view. People who can see this angle seem to be few and far between. I wish more people would shut off their television sets and talk with their neighbors. Anyway. Thank you again for your courage and thoughtful assessments of what's happening and how we might deal with the realities we face as individuals, communities, and as a nation.
Thank you Robert once again for today's article. It is so important at this point in time that we " feed/ nourish the tribe" right now I think it is essential. The article itself is sensible and encouraging... And the extraordinary photograph at the end is a Ruben sandwich! Thank you.

Thank you for your perspective. Excellent thoughts and advice. Beautiful photo also.
Thank you for this letter Mt Hubbell, it’s most helpful and certainly aligns with my values.
