Remember: Primary Voters are usually only 30% of the voting population.

If Democrats, independents, and that apathetic turnout, we can gain control of both houses, and hold Trump accountable!

* Check and make sure you are registered by Memorial Day weekend and check it again just after Labor Day weekend

* Don't just vote; volunteer as part of the GOTV effort

* Volunteer to be an on election judge this year

* Take 5 friends with you to vote on election day then go out as a group out to lunch, a bar, or whatever the group wants, but do it together. Strength in numbers!
