Election Day and Night!

Thinking back to November 8, 2016 (which is a v hard thing to do), the emotions that come to mind are um joy, heartbreak, joy, heartbreak, shock, more shock and blank, miserable stares into a void. We shared those feelings with the people nearest and dearest that night.

NOW we can ZOOM to THREE parties and share our ups, downs, ups, downs with dozens and dozens of people! Let’s hope it’s the joy joy joy alone. We’d hate to be sharing those other, more personal moments with strangers. See all the links below.

Lebanon will have the honor of welcoming both Elizabeth Warren on Saturday, that’s tomorrow, and Annie Kuster on Sunday! They are set to spur on the GOTV efforts there. If you take the training you can come meet them both! Links for training and Senator Warren and Annie Kuster events below. (READ Annie Kuster’s event sign-up instructions CLOSELY.)

We are also offering visibility opportunities! No training required! just either sign up or show up. You will be a much-welcomed and much-appreciated person. Each polling site will have a relieved participant for you to spell! 

Four days to get those friends and neighbors excited or at least willing to get out and vote! People can register day of but it’s more efficient to get it out of the way today or Monday. Four days.

Nothing left but to vote!

We usually go on and on about things coming up . . . and we will . . . but first we need to send out a big THANK YOU to Sen. Maggie Hassan, Rep. Annie Kuster, Sen. Dan Feltes and Councilor Mike Cryans. You all gave us your all last night and we are better for it. We learned a lot and gained even more love and affection for our political officials. They work so so hard and each and every one displays passion and commitment to the people of New Hampshire and for our quality of life. We are so fortunate that these wonderful people have stepped up. And THANK YOU to Kristin Swan who, as moderator in Lebanon, has the very tough job of laying out the rules and leaving nothing to question. Yours is an unsung and thankless job.  So THANK YOU!

If you were inspired (we sure were) by Dan Feltes’s fired-up rhetoric last night and want/need more, you are in luck. He will be virtually at Dartmouth Wednesday night. See below for the link.

Senate District 2 is a weird and ambling one. It comprises the Upper Valley towns of Piermont and Orford, and the Mascoma towns of Dorchester, Grafton and Orange. Bill Bolton has been working hard at unseating the incumbent and he may just accomplish it this time. Bill will be giving a house party . . . virtually (BYOB) . . . Wednesday, see below.

These next seven (!) days we have to remain focused on getting our neighbors and friends to make a plan to vote! Get yourself organized and know the where/when/um who–to encourage those out of the loop to vote!

You can still contact your town chair to volunteer to do visibility and you will be so so welcomed to join that rare group . . . trying to make this event festive, fun, upbeat . . . . . . for everyone regardless of whom they are supporting.

And then go vote, and at 9 p.m. on November 3rd, zoom in to the Senate District 5 Election Night Watch Party!
