No f***ing way am I freaking out! I just returned from Arizona, where 23 Californians joined me to knock on doors. Together we knocked on 4,400 doors. I spoke to a handful of Republicans who are voting straight Dem. I spoke to a few 21-31 year old males who were also voting straight Dem.

We have registered almost 1,500 new Democrats in a California swing district (CD13) where the candidate had previously lost by only 564 votes. We will be texting them voting information soon!

We have regular trips to Nevada to canvass. We have volunteers flying to Michigan and Pennsylvania to knock doors.

Do I feel like freaking out? No Fing way! If victory is within the margin of effort, we are working hard.

This election can’t come soon enough. I feel like Jimmy Stewart’s character in It’s a Wonderful Life where he says “I wanna live again, I wanna live again.”(Not that I have jumped off a bridge recently, but I feel beat up as if I were at the end of my rope on some days working on canvassing and calling, and writing letters, etc. I just wanna live a good life and be happy and have everybody else be happy and healthy in a country that works best for all of us in a democracy with basic human dignity and freedom for all.
