It's January: Get Your Political FitBit On!

And we're back!  

The holiday season is in our rear view mirror and 2017 is not just our future but our now.  
I recently got a Fitbit and I have enjoyed watching the steps add up as I build a new me. Well sort of.  It is going to take a lot of miles to improve me.   But I'm heading towards it and more to the point I have thought how a "political" Fitbit is critical to our blue future.    We have to slog through the elections in every state (especially in this off year) step by step by step.      And we will need to do a political action every day to accomplish our big goal of expanding our blue dots and fix the gerrymandering in every state.  

Will you join me in Political FitBit-ing?  Yeah, I made up that word.

1.  First of all, have you found a Democratic club in your area?   Can you google and find one in your area right now?    Then put that club date in your brand new January calendar and go to that meeting. And reach out to a friend and tell them to join you.

2.  Have you donated to the three Democrat candidates who are in the special run off in Virginia on January 10th?   And yes you do NOT have to live in VA to give to these candidates.

3.  Have you spread the word to your friends about these candidates?    Have you offered to phone bank for these candidates?

4.  If you live in a Blue Bubble get familiar with what is just outside the bubble.

and join flippable.

5.  Call your Congressman and oppose the Reins Act this week!

6.  Do you know all your elected officials?   Go HERE and figure out your political peeps.

7.  How are you spending Friday, January 20th?   On that day in Washington DC, Donald Trump will take the oath and be inaugurated 45th President of the USA.    Instead of watching that spectacle perhaps you will donate time at your favorite charity?   Perhaps you will host something at your house, maybe a lunch or dinner and people will donate and you will put the money to an important cause.   Perhaps a cause that will be endangered during a Trump Presidency.       If you can't put a plan together for that Friday maybe you will do it for Saturday or Sunday?   Make this entire weekened your "Expand the Good" weekend.  

8.  Are you marching on Saturday January 21st?  In Washington or Los Angeles or Tucson  or another town?     Google and find the women's march closest to you.  And no you don't have to be a woman to march!

Okay...that's enough for right now.   Go get your political FitBit going!
