@Lady Emsworth

We can sweep.

Under the radar are folk who aren't yet registered. Millions still trend Democratic. A few minutes after Taylor Swift endorsed, more than 300,000 registered, virtually all new Democrats. FT 6 has sent more than 12 million texts to these folks. It normally takes 3 "touches" before they register. Need more phone calls and canvassing. FT 6 phone bank to FL and PA today. Time is fleeting. Do something!

Yes, it really does matter to get out more of the usual "submerged" electorate, people who rarely or never vote. We're talking maybe 50% of the electorate.

Unfortunately, data shows most trend MAGA, but FT6 has identified and contacted with millions who trend Democratic. Time is short. In Florida, last day is Oct. 7. In some states, we turn into a pumpkin next week.

One guy like you, Frank, has the capacity to enlist dozens who will support Democrats up and down the ballot.

The more of "your own disposition" you can get out the better, but whoever is getting out the vote more will earn some goodwill regardless. Unfortunately, I'm Canadian, so all i can do is wish you well. I think there are "at least a few" Canadian on Heather's channel!

Thanks for your support! Others have suggested you can call but if I receive a call from a Canadian phone number I'm certainly not picking up. Toll prices are higher too IIRC when calling from Canada when I was there a few years ago. Just keep believing in America!

It would be illegal i believe to try to help out directly on any actual electoral activities. Are you suggesting I enroll in a Dem election campaign group and get a list? I don't know any Americans personally.

give me a phone #. Mind you i dont have a long-distance plan into the USA. I still have trouble believing a campaign would let a non zipcode "foreign alien" get involved. Say something in Maine.

Sent FT6 a small donation (via snail mail) yesterday for Patriots Day.

Bad experience with snail mail. 3 weeks from mailing in TX, not yet arrived in CO. Corrupting influence of DeJoy? Not sitting well for mail-in ballots.

absolutely! USPS has been ruined. We need to get people to vote in person as soon as early voting starts.
