I made the mistake of taking a break!
This past week has been very hectic, so I was unable to update you all. My campaign has slowly been progressing as the first deadline approaches. March 17th I will need my signatures and payment turned in. Thanks to diligent phone banking, I’ve raised $650! Its not a large amount compared to the $100k I need, but it covers the $350ish fee.
I have also gathered 90ish good signatures compared to the 125 I need. I walk about 2 hrs a day, knocking on doors. I have spoken to a few Republicans, who have told me they are devastated by the current administration. The petty part of me wants to tell them we told them so. However, I keep reminding myself that they fell for a con man. They honestly believed they were helping the country. With the literacy rate in the US being so low, many probably didn’t understand a lot of what we were warning them about. I doubt many people read through Project 2025 and just thought we were paranoid.
Every day, I struggle against the urge to be fearful and hide away in my home. The idea of “wellness farms” terrifies me. The constant stream of executive orders is overwhelming. But I remind myself, as long as I am still breathing, I can do something! We can do something. It’s not hopeless and it’s not over. I will continue with my campaign even if they try to take me away. My fight is our fight.
Anyways, I’ll get off my soapbox and get back to work. These signatures aren’t going to collect themselves.
