“America PAC door knockers were flown to Michigan, driven in the back of a U-Haul, and told they’d have to pay hotel bills unless they met unrealistic quotas. One was surprised they were working to elect Donald Trump.”

'A #vibe I’m feeling': Here's what #people are #saying about #VicePresident#KamalaHarris

Earlier this month, longtime #Republican#LaTrellBell took up a #friend’s #invitation to attend a #HarrisWalz #rally in his #hometown of #Detroit. Now he's going to #vote for Kamala Harris.

#Polls suggest millions of #Americans are changing their presidential #voting plans with Harris currently topping the #Democratic #ticket.

Legal residents of American Samoa living there, not U.S. citizens, are not allowed to vote in the U.S. federal elections, only political party primaries. So we can help nominate a candidate, but we can't vote in the mainland election. We are considered US Nationals on an unincorporated US territory, administered under the U.S. Department of the Interior (as is Native America). You have to apply to be a U.S. Citizen (a sovereignty issue).

American Samoa also has the most enlisted U.S. military members per capita.

We serve, and die for you, but we can't vote for the U.S. President in #USelections.

Just a statement.

pol, uspol, voting, volunteering

I've seen folks talk about the importance of voting in the upcoming presidential elections, and how we need to prepare for either outcome, but I'd love to hear what people are doing *right now*, what is the best use of people's limited time and energy.

Some places I'm looking at:

- https://votefwd.org
- https://digidems.com
- https://www.commoncause.org (saw this one mentioned earlier today, first time hearing about it)

"You are going to see your candidate subjected to the most blistering, vile & specious personal attacks based on her #race & #gender. The effort, to be sure, is aimed at villainizing her with those who are undecided. But it’s also intended to tear her down in your eyes; to distract & demoralize you; to dampen the high spirits that are driving you toward the one goal that is above all this presidential #election year — winning — which depends on #voting"

Text from article: Why reprise the spirit of John Sharp Williams, why echo the malice of today’s political right? We elders have heard it all before. Some of us have also been on the receiving end. It’s not about us. This is a heads-up to the energized and enthusiastic young voters who are being drawn to the Harris campaign in huge numbers. You are going to see your candidate subjected to the most blistering, vile and specious personal attacks based on her race and gender.

But it’s also intended to tear her down in your eyes; to distract and demoralize you; to dampen the high spirits that are driving you toward the one goal that is above all this presidential election year — winning — which depends on voting. Let nothing stop you from getting to the polls. Because Election Day 2024 will decide who will govern and uphold democratic values.
