Think midterms are a long way off?

I just saw my first Back to School ad on Kohl's website. Fall is approaching, people.

Are we ready? What are your plans for making sure we have a fair and free election? For helping organize? For getting the word out?

I'm trying to figure out how my efforts can be the most helpful. Here in CA, some candidates may need my help in swing districts, but usually I try to contribute to close elections out of state that could use my help. Obviously, I need to get my act together because the train is rapidly rolling down the track and will be here before we know it!

The new Congress will be seated in 25 weeks (only 178 days).


Thanks for the reminders for everyone, senseandsensibility.

I'm already on the streets canvassing. I hope others will expand their efforts over the next 16 weeks.
