Is your phone perpetually ringing?

I think we are being called tonight by every Democratic group in the US. We voted absentee weeks ago, but it is good to see the enthusiasm of our party. It will all come down to who is best at getting out the vote. Go Dems!

I am currently a TX resident and can’t vote in GA. I tend to pick up the phone and THANK the person on the other end for fighting for Warnock and Ossoff. Then I let them go, as quickly as possible, so that they can contact people who can actually vote in tomorrow’s election.

and thank them. At least the ones that call on our landline. I am ignoring the ones on my cell phone. It aggravates me that my cell number is out there.

We are pumped but a bit nervous. We are also not accustomed to all this attention.

I watched the press conference today. Gabriel's righteous anger. Well done. Then watched Joe's speech. Both did it well.

We shall see the outcome soon. I hope it is a landslide. Ours.

These last two months, especially the last few weeks, have to have been unbelievable with all the ads, phone calls, etc.

The reporting period was Oct 15-Dec 15. I expect they both continued to receive more since mid-Dec.

I won't even give my wife my phone number. Nobody has it, and if I get a random, I don't pick it up. If they leave a message, I never open it. I have never sent or opened a text. For people who are insistent on getting a number, I give them my home number, no phone is connected to it, it is just for internet service they can call on any day, at any time and it appears to ring, and ring, and ring... My phone is for me to call out on; if I want to talk to you I will call you!

I have modern communications figured out!

Normally, the contact lists are updated to remove voters who have voted early. The people calling you are not using the current lists.

I know a couple of groups who are canvassing in Georgia right now. They seem to be busy

tellsme is thatthe same phone source has been calling many times over the past several months. It's not new callers because they would go through at least once so I could block it.

THANK GOD THE ELECTION IS TOMORROW! This insanity will be over soon, AND we'll finally be rid of the Orange Man too!!!

We need to find every Democrat and get them to the polls today The only doorknockers we have had were republicans but we are in a very red area of rural north GA.

I've been getting over a 100 texts from all these magats addressed to "Jerry".. who they think I am.. Trying to get him to vote!''

Mostly about "the Dems are gearing up to take your guns away & they're not even trying to hide it" Oh, and "Kamala is trying to steal the election" And, this morning it's "Rev Warnock is too radical for Georgia"...

I was thinking Loeffler is too much of a gaslighting criminal for Georgia!

Best of Luck in Georgia & for our Country & Planet, brer!

It really helps when the cynical antagonists keep their mouths shut... and let the serious and loyal Democrats do the hard work and get down to business! I get so tired of hearing "woe are we" and "we're going to lose" and "we don't stand a chance" and "you have to EARN my vote" or "I'm voting third party to send a message" or "I'm not voting to send a message".
