Welcome To All of You

The great news is that just a few weeks ago, when I attended my first Zoom Meeting with Red Wine & Blue to listen to Heather Cox Richardson detail what Project 2025 is, and why we should be concerned, there were only a small number of TroubleNation Groups, mostly in the midwest in about 5 states. That presentation was so well attended and responded to, that in the past two weeks, they have had requests for more than 350 new TroubleNation groups starting up, just like us. California had no groups and now they have many starting up.

So we are part of a very exciting grassroots movement that is gaining momentum. The goal of the Zoom Meeting on July 15th was to make sure voters are aware of Project 2025. At the time, only 30% of Americans had heard anything about it. That is already turning around. In the past two weeks, more than 50% of voters have heard mention of it, and our goal is to make sure 70% or more know the dangers it poses, before the Democratic Convention takes place.

I look forward to working with you. Let's make it spread!
THREE GOALS-
1. Educate yourself about Project 2025 and spread the word to as many people as possible.
2. Do all we can to support the candidates that believe in DIVERSITY INCLUSION and SUPPORT A GENUINE DEMOCRACY.
3. Do all we can to ensure that we keep the Senate and flip the House so that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz can make the
kind of real progress they envision. There are 22 Congressional races that are virtual TOSS-UPS- could go either way
with a push, that we can influence. There are 7 Senate seats that are TOSS UPS. And there are a number of critical
races in Swing States where the GOP is putting lots of MAGA money into unseating Democrats in the Senate. We will
be talking about those to keep people tuned in and need to about how support the Democrats however we can.

Feel free to look around the TroubleNation site. It is is LOADED with information and resources on every topic imaginable. I am sure you will find lots of valuable information.

So far, it appears that Tuesdays are the best evening for meetings I am hoping to keep any future meetings to once a month or less- only when critically necessary. Otherwise, I think we can communicate effectively via this web page, don't you? We will use it to work out concerns, answer questions and post events and upcoming podcasts that will keep us updated on the latest information.

So glad you're all here-

Melissa Phillips
