Back in mid summer, I was feeling very bad. All the talking heads and political pundits were getting to me with their smug predictions that we women were "over" being made second class citizens - that - again - we were "over" being denied bodily autonomy. A friend told me to go to Michaelmoore.com to get a more positive outlook. I am so glad I did. From that point forward, I STOPPED listening to all negative news. I STOPPED reading and started deleting all the news that there was going to be a red wave and that Biden was going to be the demise of the Democratic party. I am so glad I did. I will never again listen to polls. I just will not. Not after Hillary, and certainly not after these midterms. I will never stop trusting the power of outraged women. And you know what? We are not going to stop being outraged; not until our right to bodily autonomy is codified into law.

Remember how I said, I wouldn’t bother you in public? That I would just smile and nod? If I ever see you in person Michael Moore I AM gonna hug the stuffin’ out of you.

This fall I looked everywhere for stats and data that indicated what I thought I was seeing. Crickets. Then I found you. And I could relax and sleep again, as you had the receipts of what I saw. Nobody else is talking about the turnover in the House that occurs each session. It's coming. Nobody else is talking about these realities. Thank you!

It's a victory, but also an indictment of a system that depends on MONEY. Voting should be compulsory; the Electoral college should be deleted; and no private monies should be contributed

I agree with the Commenter who said we need to get rid of the Electoral College. I wonder what the organizing will be to do that. Do you have any ideas?

The People’s Choice for President was founded 14 years ago. It is the longest standing organization working for a national popular vote. Since then, 15 states have approved legislation for a national popular vote. And as few as four states are required to make it law. https://www.peopleschoiceforpresident.com/about-us

Michael- YOU truly have bee the voice of the people. Your decades of truth telling has served our country well. Your essays were / are spot on. Thank you for giving encouragement. I will enjoy this great victory for a moment.

In 2024, 22 Democratic Senate seats are up for reelection... The Democrats must start NOW to defend those seats. I live in Texas. The people who are giving up on trump are looking to DeSantis.. He is a real threat. I’d love for you to talk me down😢

I loved your Blue Tsunami/Blue Wall podcast, Mike! I have a paid subscription for a year! I listen to your remarks and emails and YouTubes every chance I get. I turned off the TV News, and YOU are the news I listen to now. Two requests: (1) please be grooming your successors for when you retire or if anything were to happen to you. (2) have a podcast about the filibuster and how we can get rid of it, or at least make it back into a talking filibuster.

Keep the faith, and keep on keeping on! The people have the power and now that we know how to use it, we can finally make some change.

Yes, It was very impressive! I am hoping those replacements come soon. Because those who were involved in 1/6 still need to be banned from holding elected office!
