#DEFEAT HATE. VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS.

DAVID - Donald Trump has unleashed white nationalist hatred against black Americans, Latinos, Muslims - and now Jews. This hatred has led to neo-Nazi marches, internment camps, separating children from their parents, mail bombs - and murder. Trump and his angry Republican allies refuse to take any responsibility for fanning the flames of hatred - or make any serious effort to stop it. On Election Day - Tuesday, November 6 - we must elect Democrats at every level to #DefeatHate. Here's how: 1. Preview your ballot with comprehensive recommendations from progressive groups, presented by #VOTEPROCHOICE. Use it to vote early if your state allows it. 2. Download the VoteWithMe app (for iPhone and Android) to see which of your friends and family are registered progressives in Early Voting states. Urge them to vote now! 3. Sign up to volunteer! Join us with The Last Weekend campaign, and help us take the values of voting blue to the streets. 4. Build the Blue Wave Voters movement.  5. Join the Blue Wave Voters Facebook group and connect with other progressive activists who are helping to build the Blue Wave. Our Blue Wave is strong - we have an 8% advantage in the polls, but Trump is firing up his angry supporters, and we know they are going to vote. We can't afford to have a single Democrat on the sidelines.  The Blue Wave is coming. Thanks for joining us! Bob Fertik

THIS IS HUMBLING NEWS... CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE KEN HARBAUGH.

In mid-2017, my team reached out to The Canton Repository to see if they could send a single reporter to cover my announcement that I would be running for Congress in the OH-7.

Instead of a big rally or political event, our team launched this campaign by cleaning up a local park. We wanted to set the tone from the very beginning that this job is about serving the people of Ohio.

The Canton Rep sent a reporter -- and they’ve been covering our campaign ever since. Last cycle, they endorsed my opponent. This past week, they decided to endorse our campaign -- and they urged voters to support us, too.

They’re not the only ones. Local papers from all across the district have endorsed us. 

From Day One, I’ve said that the word ‘present’ is in ‘representative.’

But for years, Ohio families have had an absentee member of Congress who has time for everything but meeting with his own constituents. This district was drawn to protect Gibbs and he’s built a campaign machine that has accepted more than $1 million from corporate PACs.

Gibbs thought he was untouchable and would never have to worry about a challenger -- let alone a first-time candidate who completely disavowed any corporate PAC money.

But now we’re picking up a record-number of endorsements, have thousands of volunteers throughout the district, and this race shifted in our favor.

✔ The Plain Dealer

"[Ken] shows laudable passion about protecting pre-existing conditions coverage and he knows that Congress needs more veterans and others with experience in conflict zones...”

✔ The Canton Repository

“Of all the candidates in all the races affecting the Stark County area, we’ve found no candidate who matches Harbaugh’s drive, passion and ability to connect with voters the way Harbaugh does.”

✔ The Elyria Chronicle-Telegram

“We have endorsed U.S. Rep. Bob Gibbs many times over the years, but …we are endorsing Gibbs’ Democratic opponent, former naval aviator Ken Harbaugh…His work helping people in their most desperate hours has given Harbaugh an admirable empathy.”

In service,

Ken

States are leading the way -- let's help them right now. HILLARY CLINTON.

David -- Democrats have spent the last two years connecting with voters, defining the stakes, and coming together to create lasting change that capitalizes on our momentum and helps strengthen our institutions for decades to come. Because of this incredible work, we’ve flipped 44 seats from red to blue across the country since 2017. But we still have so much opportunity ahead of us -- in 2018 alone nearly 800 state legislators will be elected. State legislature races are also a great way to make an impact as an activist. The budgets and walk lists are smaller than those of congressional races, so you can move the needle with a few volunteer hours or donations. There are many organizations doing great work in the states, but I'd like to highlight three in particular—including two groups that Onward Together is proud to work with! Volunteer with Flippable States write the rules of our elections—including national ones. States pass policies that impact our lives and states prepare leaders to run for national office. The people we elect to state House and state Senate wield tremendous political power. From drawing district maps to deciding who gets access to Medicaid, state representatives have the power to make—or break—our democracy. Flippable works to maximize our impact by aiming to flip whole chambers (e.g. a state’s Senate or House), not just individual seats. They focus on states with the worst gerrymandering and voter suppression, because these states have the biggest effect on national politics. In 2018, they’re targeting Florida, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Wisconsin, Texas, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Michigan, Arizona, & North Carolina. Volunteer with Sister District Sister District works to ensure that all Americans have equal representation and our government works for all people, not just the current minority in power. They organize volunteers into local teams based on where they live, and "sister" this deep blue energy with swing districts across the country to support strategic state races that matter. Sister District has a strategic, targeted focus on critical down-ballot, state races that—if we win—will make it easier to win national elections. Want to get involved? First, sign up! Then, Sister District will connect you with your home team. You’ll work together with your local team to fundraise, phone bank, postcard, text bank and, if you can, travel to the Sister Race community to knock on doors and get out the vote. Volunteer with the DLCC For over two decades, the DLCC has been working with state legislative leaders to invest strategically in state programs, which has led to Democrats flipping 44 seats since Trump's inauguration. The DLCC is building on Democrats’ winning momentum and continues to lay the groundwork for substantial gains in 2018 in statehouses nationwide. The DLCC will continue to partner with state caucuses and legislative leaders to recruit and train strong Democratic candidates to run in legislative districts around the country. The DLCC provides comprehensive resources that state Democrats need, including campaign expertise, a network of state leaders, access to data, field operations, and whatever else it takes to win. So many of the campaigns we see or read about in the news are national -- and while those are incredibly important, we can't forget about the importance of state races. In these final few weeks before Election Day, the time you give in your local community to help elect Democratic leaders to state legislature could be the final push that makes the difference in efforts to flip these seats to blue. Onward, Hillary
