Let’s Do More, Worry Less - We are in the final push for these three must-win projects. Thanks to everyone who has helped out - we’ve blown past our original $100,000 goals for all three: Donate To and Join The Biden-Harris Campaign - Job 1 this year is defeating Trump. As the general election has begun it’s time to get on board the Biden-Harris train.
One more idea: The Hopium community could help the Biden campaign increase its list of small donors. In addition to donating ourselves, we can urge all the young people we know to contribute $25. It would also give them a sense of personal investment.
I have an idea which I believe can facilitate new registrants and turnout. I have offered my idea to NC (my Home state) Democrats, but they probably do not see the merits thereof. However, everyone that I've spoken with about it, including the members at Daily Kos, a college professor,and quite a few others thinks it's a great idea, as I do. So I'd like to share it with you in the hope that you shall agree and hopefully find a way to implement it. Here it is:
I call it "Adopt a Voter". Many of us know individuals, be it a friend, family member or acquaintance who are not enthusiastic (or find it difficult to overcome the challenges) about voting for whatever reason. The idea is to encourage each Democratic voter to identify at least one such person (who is likely to support Dems) and undertake to do what it takes to get that person to vote - from obtaining requisite documentation, e.g. acceptable ID, to taking along the person to the polling station if necessary.
It might be that expenses may be involved. e,g, fees for ID docs., but a fund can be established to assist in defraying such expenses.
Advantages: - potential voter easily identified and reached- increased pool of registered Dems- if this can succeed, can reduce demands of door to door campaigning- may reduce need for advertising or certain types of advertising
I kindly ask that you send me a quick note in acknowledgement of receipt hereof and if possible, your opinion on this, in due course.
