Our July Plans, Voting On Day 1, Dems Need A Big Reform and Renewal AgendaI'm Heading to Raleigh, NC Friday, July 19 For An Event w/Anderson Clayton - Join Us!Happy Tuesday all. Like all of you I am still processing the events of the past week, including more destructive decisions by the rogue Roberts Court. Above all else right now we have to remember the campaign goes on. We are 10 weeks from the earliest votes being cast in the election. While we are weary, and anxious, we cannot let up. So rest up these next few days, celebrate our independence and freedoms, fly your flag right-sided up, and come back next week ready to rumble. Here at Hopium in July we are going to continue to support our core campaigns and state parties, and perhaps make some adjustments as we get fundraising data in and assess the new political landscape. Given how much money all of you have given (and it’s been a lot!!!), I’ve set new fundraising goals for the Democratic Convention in August. There’s going to be a big focus this month on our House candidates, as I’m shooting to release two interviews of the remaining eight each week. I’m also working to put together a weekly Thursday night Hopium phone bank and postcarding session for our targeted candidates that will begin late this month - more on that soon. Here’s how you can support our candidates and state parties today:
And here’s how you can do even more:

I’m also really excited to be traveling to Raleigh, North Carolina to do an event with NC Dem Party Chair and Hopium superstar Anderson Clayton on Friday, July 19th from 5 to 7pm at Junction West, 310 S West St Suite 110. To attend this event you must have purchased a ticket for the big NC Dem Unity Dinner on Saturday night, July 20th with Nancy Pelosi, Josh Stein and many more (I will be there too). If you want to buy a ticket for the Unity dinner you can do so here, and you can sign up to come to our Friday night event here (but you must have a Unity Dinner ticket). Excited to be with North Carolina Dems the weekend after the GOP Convention - no better place to be. As we are getting deeper into the general election it’s now time for us to begin doing more of the traditional voter contact work. Many of you have already been hard at work in various campaigns - thank you. I hope to be able to bring on someone from the Biden-Harris campaign to talk about their national volunteer program run through their Reach app. I hope all of you will sign up through their app and start planning on how are going to help them. I am going to do my first shift of battleground state calls next week for Biden-Harris, and hope to join a canvass the weekend I am in Raleigh. It’s part of why I hope to stand up Hopium phonebanks and postcarding this month. The election is here now and we all need to put our heads down and go to work. Many of you have asked about post-debate polling and the state of the race and simply we don’t yet know where the polls are going are to end up. Some have shown gains for Biden, others are unchanged, some have shown Trump gaining. A new TIPP poll today had Biden gaining 2, up 43-41. The Biden-Harris debate night live tracking of voter’s reactions did not see a big change in the race, and as we’ve been discussing here, Trump’s ugliness really came through. You can watch an interview with Biden polling chief Molly Murphy here: Another thing we are going to start really focusing on now is what I call “Voting on Day 1.” Here’s what I wrote about Voting on Day 1 a few weeks ago:
In our phonebanking and postcarding effort we will be primarily reaching prime Democrats to help them understand the importance not just of voting but Voting on Day 1. Helping people understand the importance of Voting on Day 1 is something we can all do. It is a “do more, worry less” action if there ever was one. Let’s not just do here, however, let us lead - let’s together making this Voting on Day 1 thing that all proud patriots and good Democrats do this year.
After the rogue Robert’s Court’s assault on our democracy, it is very very clear that Democrats and Joe Biden need a big reform and renewal agenda. In my recent New Republic essay I wrote that Democrats should develop and campaign on a clear agenda to strengthen our democracy and tackle the corruption, extremism and rot (Roberts, Thomas, Alito) that has overrun our Capital:
Such an agenda is not just needed and necessary, but we know from polling that tackling “political corruption” is a high priority for two of our most important target groups - independents and young people. If President Biden were to lead the charge it would be a way of taking his many years here - experience, wisdom, understanding of how DC works - and turning the issue of his age into a powerful weapon against the Republicans. Finally, here is a short video I released a few weeks ago which reminds us of the stakes of this election and the fight we are in: The Four Freedoms era has been a golden age in human history. Our job now is make sure it is there for our kids and our grandkids, and the kids and grandkids of the world, as it has been for us. It’s we are here, why we are all working so hard. Rest up peeps, and let’s come back ready to go out there and win this thing, together - Simon
