Polls are great, but elections are won on voter turnout

Don't be complacent. Volunteer to register voters and get the vote out. The Clinton campaign is coordinating with local Democratic parties across the country, so you can canvass and make calls for Democrats up and down the ticket at the same time.

This is about more than party politics at this point, tRump is a danger to our nation and to global security.

Everytime the phone rings, my mother and I looked at each other and say it must be the Democrats!

That's what happens when you give money to the party regularly!

Because then when we make calls for voter turnout, they think we want money from them and sometimes don't listen as a result.

election year & it is Donald Trump. I really do think people are scared of the guy, they know he could really be dangerous as a leader & who knows what else.

I have plenty of hope & optimism about the voter turnout this year.
