Have you phone banked?

I did it in both W campaigns. No one answered, even back then. I’m sure it’s worse, now. I tried to organize callers in 2004. No one wanted to call because it is exhausting to go thru so many unanswered calls and the people who did pick up, hang up immediately when the caller identifies themselves. Today, everyone I know ignores the phone and checks the caller ID, first.

Mailers? I look at the expensive glossy, 4-color card stock mailer and toss it. It says good things. Of course it does.

TV? I haven’t had TV for 10 years. I knew they lied then. Most people know they lie now. Who sits through the ads? No one I know.

Radio? CBS spews at the top of the hour on days I listen to Rush. I turn them down, if possible and ignore them if I’m working and can’t reach the remote fast enough.

I vote. I research online. I would not vote for a D if my life was at stake.

I think this above is the problem for the Ds. In my local primary, there was a contest on the D side for State Assembly. The most extreme socialist had door knockers, glossy mailers, and a ton of yard signs. She lost to the moderate who did none of those things. The primary was the second highest participation ever. Even the poll workers were amazed. It was like the 2016 General in turnout on our side.

Best is word-of-mouth. Helping us is the get-in-your-face threats from insane donks. People share those experiences.

Yes. Phone banked/volunteered for him, previously.

The reason I listed the other activities is because that’s what Jeff Roe, his campaign manager, said they’d be doing. So, you might want to send your message (detailing why those things don’t work), to him.

I agree that the dems/crazed leftists dirty tricks will (hopefully) be the cause of their own demise.
