This round concentrated on Democrats to recruit volunteers for the larger block walks and phone banks that are coming soon. People were very encouraged to see that Wendy is this organized this early and taking the fight to the enemy and excited about being part of it.
Disclaimer - I gave up posting for Lent but couldn't wait to share some encouraging news.
Also Texas Dems: please share this on facebook. It even has some of my repub friend pissed at Abbott.
