Trump made cuts to Medicaid causing more rural hospitals and nursing homes to close. Glenn Thompson remained silent. VOTE HIM OUT!

09/14/2026

We’ve just had one of the busiest months in the history of our page. Our daily posts have generated hundreds of reactions and tens of thousands of views, including our “Glenn Thompson Remained Silent” series.

We appreciate every view, reaction, comment, and share. Online engagement helps more people see what we’re posting but elections aren't decided on Facebook. They are decided by the work that happens offline.

That’s why we’re asking supporters who are able to take the next step and volunteer.

We need help:
• Staffing our headquarters
• Knocking on doors for local candidates
• Phone banking and reaching voters across our communities
• Helping with other campaign and committee activities

Reaching beyond the people who already agree with us is an important part of organizing. That means having conversations with undecided voters and others who may be open to hearing from our candidates.

Ready to get involved? Put the phone or laptop down for a few hours and join us in person.

📧 Email [email protected] to volunteer.

Financial support also helps keep our local organization operating. Contributions help cover expenses such as keeping our headquarters open, printing literature, sending mailers, and purchasing local newspaper and radio advertising.

Our local efforts depend heavily on volunteers and individual donors from the community.

If you’ve been following, reacting, and sharing, thank you. If you’re ready to do more, we’d be glad to have you involved.

Can you donate today? Here's links to our local candidates' online ActBlue donation pages as well as our committee's page:

I still remember exactly where I was on September 11, 2001.

I had gone home from work to grab a program disk and yes, we still used floppy disks back then. Like a lot of people did, we usually just left the TV on in the house. I walked in only moments after the first plane had hit.

I remember standing there in my living room, just trying to figure out what I was looking at and what was going on. At first, none of it seemed real. I knew I needed to grab what I came for and get back to work, but I had a hard time pulling myself away from the television.

It was scary. It was surreal. And before long, it became absolutely devastating.

There are certain moments in life that just stay with you. You remember where you were, what you were doing, and sometimes even what the room looked like. For an earlier generation, it was the assassination of JFK. For many of us, it was the Challenger disaster. And then there was 9/11.

Those moments become a part of us whether we want them to or not.

I wish we never had to live through days like that. I wish there weren't moments in history that stopped us in our tracks and changed so many lives forever. But there are, and there probably always will be.

All we can really do is try to learn from them. Appreciate the people around us a little more. Be a little kinder. Do a little better. And try, in whatever small way we can, to make life better for the people whose paths cross ours.

Twenty-five years later, I can still picture myself standing in that living room.

Some moments you just never forget.

September 11, 2001, is one of them.

Today we remember the lives lost and extend our appreciation to the TRUE HEROES that stepped up on 9/11.

Today, we reflect on the tragedy of September 11th and the lives lost, and remember the resilience of a country united by the courageous sacrifice of the Flight 93 passengers and the selfless service of the thousands of first responders across America who answered the call.

Republicans claim socialism is horrible but cheer when their 'der leader' wants to send $5000 government "wealth redistribution" checks to everyone!
