If You Are Seeing This In Your Email There's Only an Hour to Take Action.
There's a special election in Florida, and Democrats need to win it.
**Do not read this and think, “But I don’t live in Florida, so I can’t help.”**
The goal here is to get folks on the phone banks to contact Florida voters to go vote.
Here is the phone bank → https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/750460/
Anyone from anywhere can call in and help with GOTV.
But we only have about an hour to act… and as long as they are in line before 7 p.m. Eastern, they can cast a vote.
Florida is a state drenched in politics, but, for some reason, they have to be told to vote on election day, or they don’t show up.
There are two races in Florida today, but only one is winnable.
And this race has not only a great candidate but also the worst imaginable republican.
In FL- Congressional - 6, the Democrat caught the Republican sleeping. Not only is the Republican a vile person for so many reasons, but the Democrat is actually a pretty decent guy, at least so far.
This race is just as much about keeping the Republican out as it is about electing the Democrat. So, that probably means I’m asking you to elect some “vote blue no matter who” neoliberal, right? Wrong.
This candidate is actually great.
He doesn’t have some big Super PAC backing him, he doesn’t take AIPAC money, and in the past, he has been an ardent voice for protecting Palestinians.
He not only received a green check from the AIPAC tracker, but Bernie Sanders also endorsed him on Saturday. Maybe that resonates with you, maybe it doesn’t, but this would be a huge improvement over the Republican candidate.
How bad is the Republican candidate?
He keeps an Israeli flag in his office instead of an American one.
He brags about pictures of dead babies in Gaza.
I have trouble saying the things this guy says because they are so awful.
You are welcome to look them up. Many people are talking about the terrible things the Republican candidate has said, but not enough are telling people how to help.
Jump on the phone banks and remind voters to go vote.

I spoke to the campaign manager on Wednesday after a friend from Florida called me to speak to him and see how I could help. I made my contact later that night to my congressional contact and had just started making a push on behalf of the candidate.
Luckily, the endorsements have rolled in since…
This is a traditionally Republican district, but the party preference is split in a way that is favorable to a democratic challenger in this environment of outrage against what Republicans have been doing.
And Josh has outraised his challenger by at least 10 to 1.
Last I checked, Josh had raised over $12 million, and Randy Fine had raised only one.
Please consider phone banking on this race.
Florida elections are funny in that despite being a place constantly under political pressure, everyone forgets about election day.

If you are reading this, then you have about an hour to make calls so folks can get in line before the polls close.
They can vote if they are in line before 7 pm Eastern.
I have more info on Novavax, mask bans, and the HHS coming up, but we’re going to focus on this for the moment… and that moment is over in about an hour and a half.
