We had a great time at our PWA Birthday party!  The food was excellent and I think we all got to know one another a little better.  By the conversation, it was clear that we all had the same thoughts about what is happening in our country.  It made our commitment to what we can do even stronger. This is a great group of women and, I for one, am so thrilled to be able to speak my mind around them and still feel heard and understood. We shared about how much there was to do before the November election and it is clear getting people to the polls is the most important task facing us. We will be working with GOTV and our several voter registrars will be really busy in the coming months. We voted on a new description for our group.  I thought it very moving. Check out the food table! Winner in our Beto Sign raffle!

Great fun party today addressing dissenting postcards to the Republic Senators regarding the President's choice of Kavanaugh for Supreme Court Justice.  We are appalled at the rush to get this man, who does not stand for what most Americans regard as our country's values, put on the highest court in the land. We are especially concerned at his opinion that a sitting President cannot be held accountable for his actions even if they are criminal! No one, not even the President, is above the law!  I am sure we will have more postcard parties in the near future!

I am so excited (and that is a poor word for how I feel - actually elated beyond belief!). We delivered a 11,433 signature petition(only needed 9,200) to the City Secretary this morning at 11 a.m. News cameras were there and they interviewed Zack and myself. We think it will be on some of the newscast this evening.  You all are probably going to laugh but the most cordial and best interviewers were FOX news!!! We have finally been able to show progressives and others that you can break the stronghold that conservatives hold over our city (which is the reddest city in the state, in the reddest county in the state) so there is no excuse to believe that you vote doesn't matter here!!! It will definitely matter here in November! Register, register and vote, vote! Delivering to the City Secretary!
