Are you ready to be a poll worker?

To stop Trump’s dictatorial rise, a real opposition party would be mobilizing Americans to vote AND to protect the right to cast verifiable ballots while making sure they’re actually counted.

That means becoming poll workers, registration protectors, vote count monitors and much more.

A real opposition party would now be organizing massive nationwide grassroots trainings for a reliable election. Are the Dems doing that?

Trump’s Republicans enter 2018 with a 5-10% structural advantage. They’ve stripped voter registration rolls and flipped electronic vote counts since at least 2000.

This year just voting will again not be enough.

Progressives MUST become poll workers, bring voters to the polls, monitor vote counts after the balloting, and refuse to concede close elections.

“6000 to 32,000 hospital workers would need to be vaccinated (with an influenza vaccine)before a single patient death would be averted.” (That is, the Number Needed to Vaccinate (NNV) for hospital healthcare workers to prevent one patient from dying because of influenza contagion from an un-vaccinated worker is as high as 32,000!) -- https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0163586

"It is difficult to get a man to understandsomething, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!" – Upton Sinclair

Very few Americans know who Sheldon Adelson is and fewer still appreciate that, as America’s leading political donor, when he speaks the Republican Party listens. By virtue of his largesse, he has been able to direct GOP policy in the Middle East in favor of Israel, which might well be regarded as his true home while the United States exists more as a faithful friend that can be produced at intervals whenever Israel finds itself in need of a bit of cash or political cover.

Adelson’s recent successes in translating his political donations into policy favorable to Israel have included shifting the US Embassy to Jerusalem, cutting aid to Palestinians, ending the Iranian nuclear monitoring agreement and closing the Palestine Liberation Organization’s diplomatic office in Washington. All those Trump Administration measures were reportedly worked out privately by Adelson speaking directly with the president.

Heading into October the race for governor is by most accounts tighter than expected even though many pundits figured Ohio was continuing to trend red. Earlier this summer, polls had Democrat Richard Cordray leading Republican Mike DeWine. Of late, some polls show a dead heat or DeWine with a small lead.

Cordray is a relative unknown, but may have a chance, as Danny O’Connor did this past August in the special election. Cordray is probably best known for directing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau during President Obama’s second term.

DeWine, on the other hand, is essentially the incumbent if you take Gov. John Kasich into account, says Cordray press secretary Mike Gwin.

“Mike DeWine has spent decades in Congress and in Columbus supporting policies that favor the wealthy, health insurers, and big drug companies, but hurt middle class Ohioans,” said Gwin to the Free Press. “After 42 years in politics, voters shouldn’t expect anything different from DeWine as governor.”

   But the Cordray campaign, along with many others, are keeping a close-eye on who DeWine will embrace more as November 6th nears.
