Admittedly, things seem more dystopian and unreal every day . . . and even though we’d like to see Randy Rainbow get VP, another name has come up in op-ed pieces lately so we’d like to highlight Tammy Duckworth today. I admit to being teary and unstable, and this ad, VoteVets Ad – Duckworth Is Ready, manipulated tears easily.
It is simply impossible to stress enough the importance of getting the word out to REGISTER TO VOTE and to APPLY FOR ABSENTEE BALLOTS. It may seem repetitive to those of you who pay attention but trust us when we say (over and over) that most people don’t pay that much attention. Plus most are still isolating or at least social distancing and this subject just doesn’t resonate. Bring it up anyway! The UVDems are offering a workshop given by the NHDP on July 9th that will address this issue and give us skills and tactics to be able to convince people of the urgency to prepare for this election! Even if you’ve never considered volunteering or getting involved, this workshop will train you to become a more informative friend/family or community member. No strings attached.
Remember the good ol days when Cory Booker came to town and we packed into Salt Hill to listen and to marvel? He was our first . . . ah well . . . but now we can zoom in to see/hear Sen. Booker and our own Annie Kuster have a confab about holding onto the House and how they are working to keep Dems in the majority up and down. Looking forward to a rousing conversation on July 17th. Sign up below.
Also remember “see something, say something”? about terrorism or something? Now it’s about misinformation which is toxic and uber dangerous. So learn to identify it. Learn how to stop it. See below for info.
And enjoy the Fourth! There is the boat parade on Mascoma this Saturday at 2 p.m. Chances are traditional parades will be few and far between. (Just did a quick google and the word CANCELED came up again and again!) Some day our lives will get back to “normal.” Until then, let’s adapt, make new traditions and keep our chins up!
