I am in the field. The exurbs are heavy MAGA. Reno proper is mostly ours. At least that’s how it feels from two days.

I’m going to Reno this weekend to canvass. This seems to be an official Democratic Party program. There is a bus leaving Berkeley early (🤨) Saturday morning and returning Sunday night. Your Saturday night hotel room is paid for, plus some meals. (I am going to impose on Karen Laws and stay in Nevada to canvass longer.) It appears there are other days available. Sign-up link.

Daily Kos reports on Q3 fundraising as reported to the FEC. Amounts in millions.

State	Dem/Indep. candidate	Dem/Indep. $	GOP/Fascist candidate	GOP $
FL	Mucarsel-Powell	12.9	Rick Scott	4.2
MT	Tester	32.0	Sheehy	9.8
Neb	Osborn (Indep.)	3.3	Fischer	1.2
TX	Allred	30.3	Cruz	17.2

Conclusion: our candidates (especially Tester) will not be losing for lack of money. Lack of voters is a different problem.

Note that with the end of the postcarding regimen, we are returning to a one-hour meeting.

On Beyond Postcards: We will be introduced to other modes of activity, including VoPro and texting. You can come in person or request a Zoom link.

Besides saving American democracy, our house is now air-conditioned.

Karen Laws wrote an essay (titled Weather Won’t Stop Us) about canvassing in the Central Valley in the summer. It’s been published in Cajibi, and I am sure it will bring a smile to everyone who has gone door to door.

Tony the Democrat has at least four postcard campaigns going.

The usual chips and pretzels, or should I go to the Animal Shelter to get Fluffy and Fido for the grill?

Crazy week, wasn’t it?

I think we had a good week, but that’s debatable.

Groan.

Usual place: postcards, phones, texts, whatever we can find. Catch up on what other groups have been doing.

We appear to be a little ahead. Let’s help Kamala and Gus’s Dad finish the job.

Our goal is to finish the Arizona postcards.
