The more you do to work to reclaim our democracy, the easier it will be to survive until the end of this regime. If you are in PA-18, vote Conor Lamb! Phone bank! Get involved in your local campaigns! Whatever you do today, do SOMETHING that helps to save our democracy. We're near the bottom now, people. Stay safe and stay tuned.
