Itzl Alert Network: Tuesday, 11th of February, 2025: Flip the House, Flip the Senate [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-02-10

I am so excited to vote in every election.

Here in Wichita, Kansas, we have an election on the 25th of this month, February.

It is an election to approve of a school bond, to finance improvements for the Wichita public schools.

I got my printer fixed, and I printed out my Application for Advance Ballot by Mail.

Later this year, we have an election for City Council and County Commision.

I plan to vote by mail then, as well.

I keep saying, we need to elect Democrats, or the Republicans will take away our fire trucks and our ambulances.

Musk is already trying to take way our foreign aid.

Anyone who likes the Bible story about the good Samaritan, likes foreign aid, and fire trucks and ambulances here at home.

Musk and Trump do not like that Bible story, apparently.

The little dog is named Itzl. As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at, to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off Daily Kos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on Daily Kos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care! IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news! This is our current schedule of regular IAN diary writers: Monday: Youffraita Tuesday: bigjacbigjacbigjac Wednesday: Pam from Calif Thursday: art ah zen Friday: FloridaSNMOM Saturday: FloridaSNDad Sunday: loggersbrat

Okay.

Make sure all of you vote this year, in every little election, no matter what.

Next year:

en.wikipedia.org/…

That is the link to the House.

en.wikipedia.org/…

That is the link to the Senate.

I am going to try to list every red seat in both chambers, to specify that we need to flip all of them.

I know that is not realistic.

But I simply do not know where to draw the line between which seats may or may not get flipped.

I want to list them all, and insist that we Democrats must truly try to flip them all.

That is why I posted my fictional story, because if a team of excited volunteers would go to Wyoming, we could knock on every door, and maybe flip that state.

Keep that in mind as we go through all the red states.

Then I will discuss my home state, Kansas, and explain to you that it is not so very red as you may think.

en.wikipedia.org/…

So, in 2026, all the seats in the House are up for grabs, ready for us to flip all the red seats.

I will now list the red seats only:

Alabama:

Barry Moore

Mike Rogers

Robert Aderholt

Dale Strong

Gary Palmer

Alaska:

Nick Begich III

Arizona:

David Schweikert

Eli Crane

Andy Biggs

Juan Ciscomani

Abraham Hamadeh

Paul Gosar

Arkansas:

Rick Crawford

French Hill

Steve Womack

Bruce Westerman

California (With so many Democrats in California, can they get to work and flip these red seats?):

Doug LaMalfa

Kevin Kiley

Tom McClintock

Vince Fong

David Valadao

Jay Obernolte

Young Kim

Ken Calvert

Darrell Issa

Colorado:

Jeff Hurd

Lauren Boebert (Ha!)

Jeff Crank

Gabe Evans

Florida: (I got tired of typing each name, so am copy and pasting.)

Georgia:

​​​​​​​Idaho:

​​​​​​​Illinois:

​​​​​​​Indiana:

​​​​​​​Iowa:

​​​​​​​Kansas:

​​​​​​​Kentucky:

​​​​​​​Louisiana:

​​​​​​​Maryland:

Michigan:

​​​​​​​Minnesota:

Mississippi:

​​​​​​​Missouri:

​​​​​​​Montana:

​​​​​​​Nebraska:

​​​​​​​

Okay, this has been a challenge.

I am going to stop here, and post the rest of the House next week.

Then the Senate the next week.

I know this may seem truly pointless, but I wish I could get this list in front of every voter in the USA.

So many folks who agree with us will have extended family or old friends who live in a different district, even a different state.

They could all say:

You see what damage President Musk and his enabler, Trump, are trying to do to America and the world. You must vote for Democrats in Congress, and maybe we can impeach them and remove them.

I just cannot ignore all these Republican members of Congress.

I cannot ignore them.

Well, skim over all this, and shake your head, and say, “Uncle Mark sure is silly!”

But I need to stay busy, every day, to avoid depression from my personal loss, and the craziness of President Musk and his man, Trump.

Well, take care of your mental health and your physical health.

They are truly connected.

Hugs!
