House Republicans are heading to their home districts to **avoid** meeting with their constituents.

Please, if you see them or have the chance to engage— be ready.

Tips:
1) Write down 3 points you want to make to be ready.

2) Be polite but forceful.

3) Record it if possible.

We survived another week.

We prepare for next week.

Life is uncertain.

We are one week closer to midterms.

What are you doing to help create a swing (and ensure there can be fair elections)?
