Let's talk about what's happening in Oregon.

Last night, by the way, thank you to those of you who showed up at Coffee Clatch.

See what we're going to get deal with there.

Talking about this Saturday, the big statewide war-knocking effort on behalf of A slate of candidates.

Now, this is the right thing to do.

It's also what Democrats have been doing for a long time.

And it works.

You know, when you are fighting forest fires or field fires like I used to do when we were burning grassy straw, which we don't do anymore, you light a backfire.

And you, you know, the downwind side.

And that backfire burns, you know, kind of back towards the upwind side a little.

And it burns up the fuel that the big fires do get to.

So the big fire, when it gets there, it goes out.

That's why you say we fight fire with fire.

So, you know, it's what the Democrats do to turn out the voting base.

Works.

Why aren't we doing Well, we are now.

That's what part of Dr. Platt's presentation last night.

Mitch Hill was there for a million folks first, talking about the need for those of you who are activists in his audience to do something to help Republicans and conservatives.

And frankly, the few conservative Democrats that are still out there, and there are some, who will be listening to my voice right now, Some of you come to coffee class.

You do.

And I appreciate that.

Something each of you could do.

You don't necessarily have to go door to door in a walking list or a driving list.

We'll get to that in a moment.

But various presentation like that.
