We can do more than something! November 24 US Senator Marsha Blackburn will be up for re-election.

We can do more than something! November 24 US Senator Marsha Blackburn will be up for re-election. She is a child of segregation and spews hate and stupidity on a regular basis, but actually I’m being understated because she is even worse than that description. She won by about 10 points 6 years ago; but that can be overcome by new population in Vibrant Nashville and strong voter registration in the 700 high schools in Tennessee as well as the 100 or so colleges! Who’s still with me here? My first reaction was that Democracy died today in Tennessee but others reminded me that Democracy was re-born by our optimistic response to their arrogance, their racism, their fascism, and the vibrancy of the younger generation which stood all day for the murdered children determined not to be cowed by the racists in the State where the KKK was born! Yes! Still with me? Then please go to www.turnup.us which is run by fantastic Harvard students and help them out with your contribution as we start a year and a half nonpartisan campaign to register the youth of our future in every high school and college in Tennessee ( and in many other states too)! WE CAN DO IT with your help! Thank you.
Thank Patrice; we have to really gear up the group for the next 18 months; we are paying kids to register voters in their school and it is working; that's the hardest part of voter reg drives in schools--getting a local school leader and when you are trying to do it in 2,000 schools at the same time, it needs $$ to fund it nonpartisan and tax deductible as they are a C3.
Many thanks Learning; please check their website to see if they have a more moderate link in place now for donations as the earlier one accidently was geared to major donors!
Terrific Jenny; please check the link to see if it directed to regular folks rather than very bid donors which was an inadvertent mistake; thanks so much for your help; please pass it along!
Ira, I very much liked your comment and went to their website to donate. It makes SO MUCH sense! I was put off a bit, however, upon discovering their lowest suggested donation level was $1000 ranging on up to $100,000 and beyond. It made me wonder what audience and corps of contributors they were seeking?
John: thanks for your comment as we discovered because of it that inadvertently we had the wrong link attached which was directed to major donors; please go back to the website and I believe you will find that the current link is directed to regular folks; many thanks for your donation and please pass the link on to your friends!
ira lachner, She is despicable. Thank you for giving us information about SOME way we can help to get that b**ch out of Congress. I have detested her from the first time I heard her speak.
