Thank you to everyone who continues to follow me. I know this isn't what I was invited here to do. I'm not just a screenwriter, I'm a person. And I'm a person who has had a battalion's worth of boots on my neck for too long. I'm letting all this play out, and I'm doing so with confidence.

Thanks, Josh. I appreciate this. Was on Medi-Cal, had to leave California for NC and trying to figure things out still. Barely been able to leave the house, but always masked up when I have to. Recovering from a whole lot and haven't really had much help from my family adjusting. But TMI. Thanks.
I still need to catch up on boosters because I had to stop getting the shots when they stopped being free. But this one slaps right here.
I would strongly encourage you all to play around on the Reach App, just to see what the capabilities are. This is specifically branded toward Progressives/grassroots but I wouldn't want anything like this in the GOP's hands. The WFP has a mailer campaign on there, if you can find it. www.reach.vote
Reach is the canvassing app that helps progressive campaigns and organizations truly meet people where they are.
Working Families Party hit me up to do the Progressive version of this which includes a photo of the sender on the postcard, so less ominous for sure. But we have to know who holds the original patent to make any sense of this, I'm sure. It could be an ActBlue vs WinRed situation but it's easy.
IDK what the GOP equivalent of the Reach App would be, or whether they had it first-- I don't even know if it's something widely circulated as opposed to used by campaign staffers exclusively. But the software exists to crowdsource data & even pool all registered voters in an apartment complex, etc.
I could definitely see someone's Trump supporting boss/landlord/family member just sending over a whole data sheet. I don't know what political consultancy firm came up with this, but I don't like it at all.
I think I know how this might be happening. Working Families Party just sent me a text asking me to join a postcard campaign where I can mail something like this on behalf of the Harris campaign. Basically, I think it's a counter to this because it sounds like this started 1st. Same method, likely.
Interrupting your regularly scheduled programming because I had to speak on this shit real quick. Apropos of EVERYTHING. Because this is what the fuck I'm talking about with regards to California's Fake Empathy Industrial Complex.
