Good morning, John,
It’s time for those who love democracy to drop the hammer. Because across the country, there are literally hundreds of election deniers running for office.
Candidates fueled by conspiracy theories.
Candidates loyal only to Trump.
Candidates determined to gain the power to flip election results they don’t like.
Defeating them now may be our last chance to save democracy as we know it. So let’s all step up—at this point, getting out the vote is everything!
- Vote by Mail Phone Bank
Thursdays from 6pm - 8pm, and Saturdays from 11am - 1pm.
Mail in voting is a pillar of a free and fair election, and for many voters this is the only option to exercise their right to vote. Join the PA House Democratic Committee to phone bank in support of mail in voting’
If you can’t commit to this event, think about recruiting others who can—right now, it’s all hands on deck. In addition, there are plenty of other opportunities to stop the MAGA madness in Pennsylvania, so check out the full list of recommended actions at the end of this email.
STAY THE COURSE! We need to ignore MAGA lies disguised as television ads, their faux news articles by conservative “think” tanks, and their campaign slogans like “walk as free people”. In Pennsylvania you are being bombarded daily, if not hourly, by their lies or severely twisted half-truths. It is all a distraction to make you look away as they steal democracy out of your back pocket. By focusing on pro-democratic candidates and activities you can win this election, and maybe in time we can go back to debating about less scandalous issues like tax codes.
Friends, authoritarian movements are tireless—with every round they win, they push even harder. But there’s no reason why, in this election, the forces of democracy can’t prevail. A solid majority of Americans—left, right and center—cherish and support our democracy. Our job is to get that majority to the polls; if all of us vote, we will win.
See you out there!

P.S. Beating the deniers was a hot topic in last week’s That Trippi Show—specifically in 52 competitive races where GOTV can make a big difference. (Remember, virtual phone banking and letter writing let you to reach voters everywhere.) Also, check out Reed Galen’s argument aimed at traditional Republicans—excellent talking points to use when you sense an opportunity to flip a vote.
Here are the most effective actions you can take in Pennsylvania this week to defend our democracy.
(And please, if you pitch in, don’t forget to complete our brief Event Follow-Up form.) It’s our way of tracking our progress and impact in these crucial weeks before the midterms.
