Thank you, Jim, you've lifted my spirites, which were in bad need of help. You have also given me something to look forward to! Bless you, Patty from Taos
This is a good news story. I live in Portland, Oregon. After the 2020 census, the state got an additional seat in the House of Representatives, district lines were withdrawn, and I got moved to the newly created District 5. This is a big district and includes a mix of urban and rural areas. The first election for the district in 2022 was won by a Republican, but after the 2024 election, it's in Democratic hands. The six member Oregon delegation to the House of Representative is now one Republican man and five Democrats, all women.
A while back I volunteered to phone for a representative who was close to winning. At the given phone bank I was told I could not advocate for that rep but only for Hillary Clinton. So I just told people to be sure to vote. That was the second and last time I interacted with the local Democrats. The first time was just as bad. As a former registered republician, that doesn't bode well.
Please allow me to convey a few stolen phrases: "The future is always just as you imagine" "lf you worry about something and it doesn't happen you have suffered needlessly. If you worry about something and it does happen, then you've suffered twice."

I am sending messages to our current Presidency and Congress to advance and pass HR 6747 and to protect our National Parks and Federal Lands by rejecting Senator Manchin 's "Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024".

I miss the paper Lowdown publication. But I understand the economics.
Only 31% of the votes in Douglas County, KS went to Trump.
