PTP is great. I love the idea that more people will be able to participate because funding their time or trip won't be a big barrier. But also true that wherever you live, wherever you can pitch in, down ballot races will make a difference. Getting folks to come out for school board races and secretary of state candidates all makes a difference even if most of the resources need to be focused in swing states.
I continue to share your posts on FB, by modifying the URL so FB doesn't block them. However, I also continue to be furious that FB blocks your posts. Is there anything we can do about this issue?
Hi, Ecstatic Rationalist, I'm afraid not this year, at least not to my knowledge. Last year, FB suspended me after someone sabotaged me on FB after I posted a FB ad looking for Republicans to talk to about politics. Even though I had complied with all FB policies and done nothing wrong, there was no appeal. I asked someone I know who is a mid-level manager at FB to help me, but he couldn't find a way to help. I don't know if posting my articles is difficult because of my suspension, or if is general FB policy on political pieces. I'm thinking of suing FB, but I won't have time to do that this year.
I don't think it's just you, Steve. The Grassroots Connector was flagged as abusive! I could see offensive, but abusive?? Anyway, I am super happy to hear you have found a workaround. If anything changes, we will let you know!

PS. Thanks for the help with spreading the word!
