Make Voting Cool!




I came up with a brilliant idea (at least in my own mind!) of making voting cool with social media voting badges.

Little icon badges would display on the user account of major social media applications if the user:
  • Verified they are a Registered Vote
  • Voted that Election Cycle
Almost half of U.S. citizens do not vote and the fastest way to make the positive change we need is to get a good portion of them voting.

Dear Party of Democrats


I am a Democrat, but there are two issues that have held me back from donating to party organizations since 2016. Instead, I have donated to individual Democratic candidates who align with my values.

The two issues are:
  • Super Delegates
  • Lack of concrete effort to fix campaign finance (in my view)

I see the Super Delegate issue has been dealt with and now they will only vote in the case of a tie. I'm pleased about that. I also see that your platform has included campaign finance reform on your website. I'm not sure if you have updated the platform or if it is the same written commitment it has always been.

Where is Obama? I know.


My Fellow Americans,
Do you believe President Trump has fulfilled his oath of office? If yes, then this letter is not for you.

This letter is for the rest of us who watched in horror as President Trump praised Putin and denied his involvement in the assault on our democracy in the 2016 elections. A denial that must be seen as a cover-up and collusion with Russia since we now know he was informed by American intelligence agencies, immediately upon taking office, that the attacks on our democracy unequivocally came from Putin. He boldly and blatantly lied to the American public, calling it Fake News, which can be seen as nothing less than aiding and abetting our enemy.
