I'll ask M12. He's following up on it for me. I'll report back.

We're all in. We've got a campaign worker staying at our house this week while she attends training sessions. We're hosting a pop-up office at our home during most of October. M12 is taking the week of the election off to work full time on the campaign. I'm volunteering to drive people to the polls. We've maxed out our contributions to the campaign. We can fucking do this.

Well, thanks to Troph I will get to experience the phenomenon first-hand later this month. I will closely monitor his effect on me, emotionally, mentally and physically. For science, of course.

Our eighth and final phone bank is underway. It's very obvious that Beto's name recognition has skyrocketed in the last five weeks. A lot more people we call know who he is. It's also gratifying to see how many enthusiastic young people are showing up for these things. I would say the average age of our attendees is about 23. NW Austin peeps, too bad you weren't able to show up, you would have enjoyed the, um, "scenery". No, no pics. I want these girls to come back if we have any more events. Anyway M12 is going this weekend to be trained as a volunteer trainer and I'll probably do the same. We're all in. We've also contributed the max to his campaign. That's right. The 1%, I am in it.

Yeah OK, anyone else gonna be there ping me. I'll be the redhead wearing the Beto button.
-
Sure. Me: "I'm calling on behalf of Beto O'Rourke. Beto is running for Senate against Ted Cruz.....blah blah blah....." Ignorant Person: "Who?" What? There's an election?" Shit like that. Yeah I know it's only August but with everything that's going on I'd think there would be a few more people who at least know the players in the game. Guess I've just learned, again to never bet against the complete and total stupidity and ignorance of the majority of the American electorate.

We have our phone bank #5 tonight. Will be interesting to see how this last week's turn of events will affect the people we talk to. I've bee astounded thus far at the lack of name recognition Beto has (well, I've been astounded at how many people are totally clueless about and disinterested in the political climate in this country right now, but that's a whole other story). I wonder if that will change tonight. I hope so. On another note, thinking about heading up to Cedar Park Wednesday to see the man himself. 9:30 start time, what time do I need to show up to get a seat? Anyone been to one of these things yet?

All I know is I have a nice string of pearls that I used to wear a lot for business, they were very classy and understated and went perfectly with most of my suits but now they are tainted AF and I want to toss them on the garbage heap. Thanks SHS.

SIAP, and can't embed, but this is important y'all. And in my hood, not that it matters, but this area is frequented by 80 gazillion cars a day and it seems impossible that no one saw anything. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/missing-woman-last-seen-on-loop-360-walking-away-from-broken-down-car/1389166765

I heard some of that shit from some of my Trump supporter acquaintances right after the election -"He's a great man with a beautiful family who is working hard for America. He doesn't need to do this, he's already rich, he is just suuuuuuch a patriot that he wants us all to share in his prosperity and he's working 'round the clock for us all, just because he's a great and wonderful guy!" I guess they figure we've all got short enough memories to where we'll forget when they start recycling their shitty talking points. Or maybe they're so stupid that they've forgotten they've already tried this one. Either way....

Call bank #3 is in da books. We had six people doing yeoman's work. Also I got rid of my two extra t-shirts and my yard sign that MB12 and I double-ordered. You know, not that we need any more examples of their rank and stunning hypocrisy, but I wonder what the Republicans beshitting themselves over Beto's arrest record have to say about Paxton's. Because nothing says "Honest Conservative" quite like supporting a State Attorney General indicted for fucking securities fraud, apparently.

It took 27 minutes. Y'all are slacking.

We have 11 people signed up for our Beto phonebank tomorrow night. I say gottdam. Don't know where we're going to put them all. You know, as far as conservative vs. liberal is concerned - I have a slightly different take on it than most of y'all because I have a vagina. And the way I see it, one of the parties wants to get all up in my wallet and the other one wants to get all up in my vagina. So it comes down to, which do I value most? Wait for it....wait for it.....VAGINA. So as much as wasteful spending irritates the fuck out of me, I'd rather throw a bit more coin at the feds and be able to do what I want with my vagina.

Beto Phone Bank #2 of 7 at la casa last night. Lots of positivity and energy and excitement. No references to Whataburger. Looking forward to #s 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Oh yeah and noticed the first "Cruz" sign in the 'hood, at the big house on the hill on the corner of Valburn and Ladera Norte. For the last couple of month's he's had a John Galt sign up - changed it to Ted in the last few days. Fuck that guy.
-
I'll get an invite out to you tomorrow. Bring the fam. The more the merrier. And, for some reason, the more people using the Beto Dialer (yes, it's really called that), the more efficiently it works. I have to say as sick as I am about this whole shitstain of a country we're becoming, it does feel good to actually become involved and try to do something about it. I was a political virgin until this campaign. Now I'm a dirty Beto whore. So to speak.
-
Hmm. Was he the first, fourth or fifteenth Surlyite I spoke to? Get your ass over here son, you're a neighbor. Drag JimmyJazz along with you. Dammit.

I got people at my house making calls for Beto tonight. You might have talked to me or Macallan12, yo. Srsly please bear with us if you get multiple calls. We're working off a list of publicly available voters and obviously there are some duplicates, etc. Part of what we're doing now is trying to scrub the lists and get everything consolidated. If you get multiple calls please let the callers know and we'll try to fix it. Yeah there are a lot of youngsters working for Beto. If we can survive this current shit we just might be in good hands. On Edit - we're doing a lot more of these phone banks so if you're in Austin (NW) and interested, holla and we'll fix you up. It's a really interesting experience.

Officer Involved Shooting at Spicewood Springs and Mesa
M12BH replied to APMP's topic in Daily Texan
Couldn't get to my yoga studio because the street was blocked off. Fuck you shooter/shootee. In the meantime the Houston doc shooter offed himself pretty much across the street from my parents' house, police/media is set up in my parents' front yard so I've gotten a play-by-play of all that from my mom. Hell of a morning. -

Live news is set up in my parents' front yard. Srsly. -
Yeah, Teodoro's dark money is gonna show up any day now and the b.s. smear campaign will start. Just to reiterate, Beto is not taking any corporate or PAC money so he needs funding from us rubes. DO it.

My brother is a cardiothoracic surgeon. When he was doing his fellowship at Cornel a woman died under his care. Her husband made all sorts of threats, and my brother was put under 24/7 protection by NYPD for several months until the guy got deported back to whatever South American country he was from - can't remember the details now. It really was scary. Brother did work at Baylor for several years and knew Hausknecht. Said he was a good person and a good doctor. Fuck that guy who killed him. -
Except the constituents these states are protecting are not the 1%, they are the rank & file who are disproportionately affected having lost their state tax deductions due to the tax law shenanigans. But other than that you're spot on.
