Mine is a group of one, but I spam the world. My goal is to be the blue mold in your life like in delightful full flavored Roquefort.
That is how the red states will change. The network you are telling people to form will vein across every county and state in the union.
I shared your podcast today with Sevier county democrats in Tennessee. I also shared More Democracy, my life’s passion. What wonderful twist of fate that the same racist colonial expansionism that the Right wants to glaze over in schools today will now bite them in their big white asses.
If you want to do some damage to the Republican Party in your life time, give these territories statehood.
Thank you, Michael! This is really good advice that I am going to put into practice. I live in Cleveland, although I spent 32 years in rural Pennsylvania before moving here. I have seen this from both sides. I know there are many people in the red counties of Ohio who could use the support and motivation to get their like-minded neighbors involved. We need to end gerrymandering in this state, get rid of the oppressive new voting rules, and make people like Jim Jordan insignificant (or maybe incarcerated)!
Find those red vote engines of counties. Get get precinct clubs going and start by trying flip a precinct at a time. Small victories for major wins. We all have roles to play in elections. Young voters can swam a precinct and make history. Hell all democrats can!
A leader of a precinct can literally know the votes coming at them and gather enough people right now to change the precinct. Only a few hundred votes in some of these precinct. Count it like Pelosi!
Have you heard of Sister District Project? https://sisterdistrict.com/ They have been doing much of what you are suggesting in an organized way. They have been very successful
Get the territories to put statehood votes on their ballots for 2024 that will be in good standing for 2 years until next election in 2026. That way when we pass this in Congress they come right on board.
I think we have a long way to go and like this idea. I live in Fort Collins, CO pretty blue. With "The West Forever State—Wyoming Territory, to the north, and Boebert to the far south.
It seems much of the challenge is our inability to deal with our national past. So many people can't bear the idea that the past is real. I recently wrote an article stemming from a word the Germans apply to the whole concept. Perhaps someone may find it of interest. Cheers!
Michael is bringing us such simple and common sense ideas to try. Each one blows my mind with its DUH-ness. Can't believe these things never dawned on me quite the way he presents them.
And your article intrigued me with its brilliance, as well. Many people here on substack quietly gift the world their genius observations and thoughtful suggestions. Mind-openers for those of us ready and willing to receive your gifts.
What a great blog you offer the world, Todd!! Ordering your book in the morning. And reading all your blog posts over next few days. Thank You so much for posting here in Michael's world-altering practical tips for shifting us from Redness to Blueness where we most need it. :D
Thank you, Suz-an! The universe is a treasure trove of connections when we remain open to possiblilities outside our periferal view. It's almost like a mental- metaphysical shift. I'm happy to know that my sharing touched you. Blessings to you, and thank you so much. 🙏
My brainstorm to stop the counties that are red vote machines like Cherokee County of Georgia. To stop a machine you through sand in the gears. We breakdown the county to the precinct level. Appoint captains. Pull voting history of counts.
A leader of a precinct can literally know the votes coming at them and gather enough people right now to change the precinct. Only a few hundred votes in some of these precinct. Count it like Pelosi!
We need population of all U.S. territories when they became states. The funny part is the count will most likely include native Indians in Arizona. Majority of the white will probably be military. I don’t really know but exciting to research.
Under their leadership tab, the ones with no profile pics maybe Insurrectionists. DMV records!
Look at the mess of Oath Keepers. Now, fire fighters. I can only guess how many lawsuits this will bring a municipality. Of coarse in Ohio. Please report as a tip for me. Just a possible lead.
Dear Michael, Thank you, always, for your words of action, hope and true love for your fellow humans. I live abroad in Western India. I am a farmer and will live out my final days in Maharashtra in a town called Walki. Your podcasts and blogs keep me going in this dark hour. I will join with anyone, in any state to help with the sister city idea. I am particularly interested in Texas, because 75% of the Gen Z Texans DID NOT VOTE in the November election. They blew the chance to elect Beto O’Rourke! Guide me, I am ready to roll up my sleeves, as I have done all of my 73 years.
You and Michael have certainly inspired and supported those of us heartbroken and confused in Texass, dear Elisabeth!! This elegantly simple approach that Mike is giving us thru his series here truly is the toolbox we need. And joining forces with you, Elisabeth... would be delicious icing on the special cake we're all preparing to bake. How do we connect??
Oh, Suz-an. How can I privately send you my email address? I would need a place to stay anywhere you send me, from March to June end. I am ready and willing. And I LOVE to bake 💕.
No idea how any of us privately connect here. Email, zoom ... not necessarily thinking of geographically connecting from around the world. Especially since variants still plague us.
We have 163 house seats here in Missouri. There were 66 seats that did not have a Democrat running. They automatically went to the unopposed Republicans. The Missouri House Democrat Caucus campaign arm is the HDCC. We fundraise to help Dems get elected all over the state. We were able to flip 3 seats last November. Michael, come to Missouri and help us fundraise! The more Dems running will help us up the ballot so we can remove Seditionist Joshua Hawley from the Senate!

Thanks, Bari! Great stuff they do. Excellent resource.
Saw you on Ari Michael. So glad you got the microphone. I hope he makes it a habit.
2024 Statehood Ballot Initiatives
Get the territories to put statehood votes on their ballots for 2024 that will be in good standing for 2 years until next election in 2026. That way when we pass this in Congress they come right on board.

Book arrives Sunday!! :D
Thank you! Enjoy. Feel free to ask anything.
COUNT IT LIKE PELOSI!
1. Precinct Captain makes Social Media Page
2. Then gets everyone to sign up.
3. Membership to hopefully out pace the Red Vote total.

Nebraska Territory
1880 Population 28,841
There is no reason to not emit every territory because of population size. Look to our history.
Arizona Territory
1910 Population 204,354
Wyoming Territory
1890 Population 62,555
Idaho Territory
1890 Population 88,548
Dakota Territory
1880 Population 158,724
Split it 79,362
Montana Territory
1880 Population 40,440
Arizona Territory
1910 Population 204,354
Arizona was always a multicultural multi race state, until the 1950’s. It is just going back to the way it always was. Make America Great Again!
reservation Indian population of Arizona in 1890 was 28,451.
non-reservation Indian population was 1,512, plus a small portion in jail for the difference.
total of 29,981.
I assume there were a lot of Mexicans that came along with the Gadsden Purchase from Mexico.
I have no data on military garrisons, as of yet.
We need population of all U.S. territories when they became states. The funny part is the count will most likely include native Indians in Arizona. Majority of the white will probably be military. I don’t really know but exciting to research.
Michael, I like where you head is at musically! This series is a winner on all fronts.
Happy J6th Democrats,
