My next pregnancy could lead to an abortion

 Dear friend,  In January, it’ll be the 3rd birthday of my youngest kid. And it’ll also mark the 3rd anniversary of almost dying.   I almost became a statistic that day – one of the 861 maternal deaths that occurred in 2020 in the United States. But thankfully the medical team that day saved me. …

Help a 🐸 out

 You’ve heard the saying, Vote Like Your Life Depends On It … Because It Does. For some reason, even if that’s true on some level — whether your barely surviving living paycheck to paycheck or whether your life literally depends on the Affordable Care Act — for some reason it’s not enough of a re…

Abortion Rights? We LOST

 Dear Friend,  Republicans have given birth to a time machine that is taking us backwards. They've been incubating their bench for the past couple of decades and now they’ve taken over SCOTUS and they’re aiming for all the rest. Will you commit to supporting us for the next 9 months so we can bri…

I’ve facepalmed and I can’t get up!

 Friend -  I’ve been listening in on forums around the country for school board candidates, and, friends: we need to talk.  QANON wants to take over our public schools. And that’s not the only piece of this very worrying puzzle: normal people, people we know and love and grew up with, are startin…

Make this a November to Remember (not regret!)

 Friend -  Everything right now has to do with November 8th. Nothing else matters.   Arizona Secretary of State Candidate Adrian Fontes, one of our endorsed candidates, believes that this isn’t just the most important election of our lifetimes — he believes it could be the last election of our li…

Don’t believe all that you read 📰

 Friend - Unfortunately the media many times reports limited information from which we are supposed to come to a conclusion. Then, we may even repeat articles because they seem provocative or titillating. Not great.  One article I saw last week promoted the idea that record amounts of money were …

Help us keep the lights 💡 on!

 Friend - What gets me is that Ginni Thomas doubled down. Almost 2 years after the January 6 insurrection, she’s holding firm to the Qrazy. So is Clarence. So are a lot of other powerful, power hungry, Republicans.   The truth is actually not that hard to find. Which makes it all the more terrify…

Andy's Strategy Memo #6

 Dear friend,  Help us help you! That is our message to the Dems and other well-funded people and orgs that are fighting the Right. One message does not resonate with all. And command and control is an approach that may only really work in the military. Even in business command and control has un…

Wyoming to Democracy: Buck Off!
