Thanks!

Campaigns need envelope stuffers, people to respond to emails, etc.

If you find a candidate that inspires you, work for them.

There is always something to do.

I'm a beast canvasser though, and there's nothing as effective as human interaction to get people to know about your candidate, so I'm all about reviving this lost art of winning elections.

Thanks everyone for everything that you do.

But I hope you are promoting down-ballot candidates too. Too many Democrats focus only on the Presidency, and we need Congress and the State Legislatures. A Democratic President does no good if we don't do better down-ballot, no matter HOW progressive that President might be.

if you're close to Dayton, Ohio, join me on the trail by clicking the link in my signature, and going to the events page and registering for an event.

I don't care which candidate you prefer. You're doing what works to help candidates get elected.

Arguing on DU does nothing to help them at all.
