Activists hit the pavement to get out the Pa. vote

In shorts, a Phillies hat, and his third pair of sneakers in five months, Jeremy Baker trekked through a Bucks County neighborhood one afternoon last week, hoping to somehow shape the outcome of a wild election.

He and two colleagues from American for Prosperity, an independent group backing conservative causes, walked door to door in Richboro, carrying iPads and a stack of political door-hangers slamming Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Katie McGinty.

They found a live wire in Eric Oelschlegel, a truck driver with five deer heads mounted in his garage. As Oelschlegel took the anti-McGinty literature, he shouted in recognition - he'd seen the ads attacking her on TV.

"She's in it for the money," he told the crew, saying he definitely won't support her on Election Day.

Despite Trump's impact, right wing groups like Americans for Prosperity are still spending millions to keep Congress red, so we still need to fight for every vote.

3. They are out in full force in WI for Sen Johnson (Russ Feingold running against). Lots of

ads for Johnson recently and todays poll in WI shows Johnson is catching up. Sad.

5. Fortunately PA has straight-ticket voting

and we have to make sure that Democrats here in Philly use that feature. Makes it really easy. Hit one button at the top of the Democratic candidate column (which will light up all of those running) and you're done once you push the green "VOTE" button at the bottom (unless you also want to respond to ballot questions that would each have their own buttons).
