We're headed into the final weekend before the polls close, but our work isn't done yet.
You can make the biggest impact right now, by contacting voters in:
Florida: votesave.us/flgotv
North Carolina: votesave.us/ncgotv
and Pennsylvania: votesave.us/pagotv

BREAKING: Because of LAST MINUTE ruling, Minnesota DO NOT put ballots in mail any more.
In the middle of a pandemic, the Republican Party is doing everything to make it hard for you to vote. Stand up for YOUR rights:
Vote in-person or take mail-in ballot directly to ballot box

The straight line distance between Washington, D.C. and Dover, Delaware is less than 85 miles. It takes a helicopter about 40-45 minutes to make the trip. I was 19 years-old, and it was my first time riding a helicopter. I barely remember any of it. I was distracted. (thread)
