Have any of you ever worked for the DNC or another national organization

during an election cycle?

I've volunteered (for a local California group making phone calls for Raphael Warnock) but I need to generate income.

Thanks for any feedback!

I'm going to have to go against my natural inclinations

because as the saying goes: We can't take knives to a gunfight.

My natural instinct is to be positive, give others the benefit of the doubt, listen to both sides of the story. Having said that, I'm going to need to volunteer and do whatever else I can do to help the Democrats win The House, The Senate, and The Presidency. This will involve negative advertising.

An obvious example is the situation with Lauren Boebert. The video of her at the Beetlejuice show needs to be played on a regular basis in Colorado and maybe even other states (as a representation of who the Republicans are).

As most of us know, she barely beat her opponent (D) in the last election. I feel strongly that we need to be very aware of other Representatives in other states who are in similar situations where we can win.

There needs to be a lazer focused plan in place and implemented like never before! I wish I could get a job working in this arena for the upcoming cycle. I really need to spend some time to see if this is an option.

I need Catalytic Converter advise......

Mine was stolen in December, 2020. I was able to get what's called an "aftermarket" one since they were a lot less expensive (it still cost $1000)! It passed the smog check in 2021 but I had to bring my "aftermarket" paperwork.

In California, we must have our cars smog checked every-other year before we can renew our registration. Unfortunately, when I took my car in this week, the mechanic said that the "aftermarkets" were only eligible for a couple of years (it may have been because there was a shortage due to COVID).

I ABSOLUTELY can't afford to get one from the dealer because my understanding is they're thousands of dollars ($3,000 +). I can't even afford $!,000!

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone know who the woman in this picture is?

I'm watching Chris Hayes and this picture came up (I don't think it had anything to do with the story).

I'm just wondering who this woman is (if she's an actress, celebrity, etc.).

About Upthevibe

I've been a member of DU since the very beginning....after that horrible fiasco - the sElection of 2000. My first user name was Lindsey, then I changed it to Nirvana555, and now it's Upthevibe. I had devices crash and I ended up having to change my user name. I've never been one to make a whole lot of original posts, but I consider myself a very active member in that I come to DU almost every day and read the wonderfully informative threads. I can't imagine what life would have been like over the past two decades without DU!
