Today’s Action: Flip Texas (no, seriously) and unseat Ted Cruz
All eyes are on Texas, where an unprecedented level of Democratic enthusiasm is sweeping the once red state. We’ll start with a little number: 11 Texas state house districts voted blue in the presidential election…and are currently held by Republicans up for re-election this fall.
And follow with a big number: one million Texan Democrats turned out for the 2018 primaries, the highest number at a primary in 16 years.
Then finish with this #BlueWave shocker: Democrats at the state and federal level are running the strongest campaign Texas has seen in 25 years…including Beto O’Rourke, a candidate for Senate who could actually defeat incumbent Republican Ted Cruz, and is currently out-fundraising Cruz by millions of dollars.
Yes, we have a chance to unseat Ted Cruz. And Texas Democrats are asking for your help to build the invigorated volunteer base so that, come November, not a single Democrat stays home from the polls.
And there’s a lot for Democrats across the country to get excited about! Besides saying goodbye to Tea Party Prom Queen Ted Cruz, we could very well see the first-ever Latina to represent Texas in the House in the form of Veronica Escobar.
But after a quarter of a century of GOP dominance, these campaigns need more volunteers to help them cross the finish line in November. Many liberal voters will need (literally) a wake-up call — and that’s where you can help.
Flippable provides the phone numbers and the simple, friendly script for calling with fellow Democrats. You provide the phone, an internet connection, and a few minutes of your time…and then you make history by flipping Texas blue.
Sign up for a Flippable phonebank shift and connect Texas liberals to volunteer opportunities in the upcoming Democratic races. No…SERIOUSLY!
PS — Please don’t forget to sign the petition to demand Congress hold the president accountable and impeach Donald Trump, and check out the brilliant “Don’t Think of an Elephant” by George Lakoff — a quick read that contains the ultimate keys for Democrats to win elections — and arguments.
