I like it because it's not just about money, it is targeting the 52 swing districts by mobilizing volunteers and putting us in touch with each other.

Protecting our numbers in the Senate is more important; but really, our top priority for 2018 has to be Governorships, State House races and Legislative seats.

Especially when campaigns have predictive dialers and your caller ID won't show.

Or travel to your closest swing district (not sure how far) and help with door to door.

I worked on an out of district campaign one year, and I racked up a lot of miles - didn't change the result.

I don't have a car so I'm not doing any driving. You can still make a difference!
