It's very simple.

When we are actually aggressive about what we believe in,
and we don't vote for an evil bill, now you starting to see that are certain Republicans in Congress coming out saying, well, maybe we ought to work with the Democrats and fix this healthcare problem.
That wouldn't happen if we just did what they said, right?
And so for me, we're in this era where not just our base, but Democrats as a whole are calling out to us saying, stand up, stand up and stand tall for what we believe in.

You can California Democratic Party, Proposition 50, Grassroots Democrats HQ, and find out where the canvases are and the phone banks are and go and get more people to vote too.
