Fleek Dogg's pile of postcards - all ready to be sent down to the Peach State!!!
Well, I got them done … all 202 of them!!!
I had signed up to write to 200 souls with Postcards To Swing States back in July, and was pleased to receive Georgia. The midterms in the Peach State are especially meaningful to me because my sister and her fiancée are down there. If the fascist 6 on the Koch Kangaroo Kourt (the New KKK, formerly known as SCOTUS) do to Obergefell what they have already done to Roe, they’ll take a fleekin’ crap on little sister’s wedding plans worse than any fictional furry unless they have insurance in the form of future Governor Stacey Abrams.
In addition, reelecting Senator Warnock will also provide insurance for expanding our majority enough to possibly return the New KKK to its formerly Supreme status! Thus I was driven to get those postcards done last night and early this morning. I know, I got the postcards during my Summer Break yet I saved almost half of them for the last 2 days, but thankfully I made the deadline.
It turned out that I had a few extras left, even after I rewrote a couple with addresses too close to the bottom (thank goodness I read up on how to properly fill postcards after writing my first few with uncertainty). I was out of postcard stamps, but I happily filled out one of the extras for my sister and future sister in law in Atlanta. I just had to trim the margins, put it in an envelope, and stick on a first-class “LOVE” stamp.
It turned out that the traditional blue box had a deposit slot that could be measured in millimeters, so I went inside. Happily mailed my postcards to voters in a single dump that had to be bigger than any turd that furry deposited in their school litterbox in the next town over (word on the street — oops right-wing social media /s )
I hit up my local post office at 11:15 AM this morning, Big Send Day! I let a woman cut in front of me at the blue mailbox, quipping that I have 202 Postcards to Voters while she had much less to mail. She was gracious as she replied that she was putting her ballot in the mailbox as she spoke! Secret ballot of course, but given the demographics and social scene of my part of Baltimore I’m pretty sure it was a vote for future governor Wes Moore.
Just 10 more days until 2 more votes will be banked for Moore and against Dan Cox, Maryland’s favorite 1/6 nutball and a man who needs to stay the fleek away from Larry Hogan’s current crib.
One of these votes will be courtesy of yours truly. I’ll be voting first thing in the morning on Election Day, which is a holiday for Baltimore City Schools students and teachers. The other ballot will be cast by my favorite new voter, who will participate in her first ever American election right after I pick her up from night shift.
Yes, Mrs. Fleek Dogg registered to vote as soon as she could after she earned her US Citizenship in early August. I had advised her to register as a Democrat due to closed Democratic Primaries being the de facto elections for local Baltimore City leaders, but I encouraged her to make her own choice because I’m not the kind of husband who tells my wife how to vote.
She strongly replied that she was registering as a Democrat in solidarity with her friends and family in America. That was a relief given her views on politics back in the Philippines (albeit manipulated by Bong Bong’s Facebook disinfo, which I ranted about in comments back in May), but I’m not surprised given her work in the hospital with waves of anti-vax COVID patients and her sheer disgust at the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes in this country.
Let’s just pray that my postcards to Georgia and our votes in Maryland help to keep the hate as far away as fleekin’ possible from Atlanta, Annapolis, and DC!
