How about those election results<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>?<\/span><\/strong><\/span> Democrats <\/span>flipped the U.S. House of Representatives<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>broke Republican strangleholds<\/span><\/a> at the all-important state level, where redistricting decisions are made, not to mention countless laws that affect everyday life. These state and national Blue Wave wins are due in large part to the efforts of thousands of citizen activists who ran for office, worked on campaigns, educated voters, knocked on doors, made phone calls, sent postcards, and many other actions to get out the vote for candidates who support a progressive agenda. So pat yourself on the back and settle in for a good read. This wouldn\u2019t have been possible without your hard work!<\/span><\/p>\n
