Vice President Kamala Harris has given new energy to the Democratic Party. Harris supports democracy instead of destroying it.

Harris supports the poor and middle classes instead of the rich 1 percent. Harris supports women instead of abusing them, insulting them, and taking away their rights over their bodies. Harris supports our climate instead of cutting all the programs that will help it. Harris supports the law instead of being a convicted felon. Harris supports peace and safety instead of riots and guns.

It is important that her opponent is defeated by a large margin so it is obvious that his ideas are rejected and we don’t have another Jan. 6. We all need to vote and donate to her campaign. There is no time to wait!

Some states such as Pennsylvania will be voting very soon. Her power to effect change will rest on control of the House and Senate. We in Massachusetts have a strong democratic state with good people representing us. It is very difficult for us to directly help convince the undecided in Arizona, South Carolina etc. But it is possible by giving funds to Democratic organizations that will help candidates in swing states.

Here are four organizations that do such work: the House Majority PAC, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the Senatorial Majority PAC and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC).
