It’s hard to decide some days in which form to participate in the #resistance. For the most part, with Facebook and Twitter we’re preaching to the choir without having any real impact.
After some consideration, I feel like getting involved with voter registration efforts is probably the best use of time. My help isn’t needed in Portland though. I’ve seriously considered a trip to Wisconsin to support Randy Bryce because Paul Ryan must be defeated. But I have equal disdain for Kevin McCarthy, Ted Cruz, Chuck Grassley and Tom Cotton so it’s a tough call.
Focusing on house races is more important than Senate races. It’s unlikely the math is there for a takeover of the upper chamber.
Recently I came across an innovative idea from a guy I follow on Twitter, Claude Taylor. He’s buying up billboard space to “oppose all the Trump boot lickers.”
It’s an official PAC and they are starting the roll out any day now. The first one will be in Florida off if I-75, It’s also worth noting, Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri won the Golden Globe for best picture.
I like the idea so much I sent the PAC some money. The combination of voter registration and public shaming sounds like the ticket.
