And now we wait for the filthy Republican backlash: threats to impeach our chosen and elected judge. Did I start celebrating too soon?

Fantastic wins. All the post cards, letters, calls --- it pays off. Its very gratifying and uplifting to be part of it. This is more confirmation that the momentum is on our side. And -- we won't let up!!! Appreciation to all for the hard work, for the great organizations in WI (like WiscDems) and for your cheerleading, Simon.

Ditto to Paul West. Yes, something very big is happening in United States politics! Every GOTV campaign I have worked on with Vote Forward since 2018 has put my candidates into office: in 2018, the House; in 2020 Biden and the Senate and many more seats in the House than anyone predicted (except Simon and a very few others); in 2021 Ossoff and Warnock; 2022 Warnock again; and 2023 Protesiewicz (my husband and I wrote 330 GOTV Vote Forward letters and 300 Center for Common Ground and Activate America postcards for the WI election today). I feel like a winner as I imagine do all the voters who made all these elections possible! Now I am going for 55% wins in 2024 for a lasting trifecta.

Thank you, Simon, for speaking tonight at our Consolidated Oregon Indivisible Network COINversation. You have energized us as you always do. You are doing such important work for our country.

Yes! Every victory matters, because in a democracy every vote matters! We can not take our rights for granted. People can see that happening. Let's make sure people see that we can make a difference.

This makes me very happy today. I used to visit a close friend in Wisconsin (since passed on), and admired so much about that state. It was painful to watch what was happening there, In a way, I was glad my friend, staunchly Wisconsin progressive, didn't have to watch it go as far as it did. She saw the warning signs, but not the ugliness she predicted. I wish she could have seen how it has worked out. I'm celebrating for her, and also for what this means to all of us: more evidence that we are moving again toward a sane, responsible, effective small-d democracy.
