8. So we know what we are up against...

Every precinct chair, every citizen that cares about democracy, should build their team with the objective of educating voters and getting them registered (or re-registered) and to the polls. This effort will be neighbor to neighbor, reaching out with a cup of coffee, a tomato plant (my plan), a plate of cookies, an offer to help with pets, yard work, inviting them over for a meal, or whatever it takes to connect. We have to start (or continue) in our own communities and reach out to build this movement and then we have to keep going, stay connected, never let the right wing separate us again. We cannot rely on MSM to educate voters, we have to do it ourselves; we have to back our information up with sources and to highlight the meaning of right wing policies into the realities of our own community members. Tedious, but necessary work.

Just the fact that we have such a great of a candidate as Talarico shows the progress Texas has made. We have to work as hard and efficiently as we can to make this happen. But I will happen. We can never give up.
