I made my pitch on the phone to my son in NY for Elizabeth!

He was supporting Kamala and was disappointed to see her drop out. So I made a big pitch for Liz. He's a prosecutor in NYC so I can understand his affinity for a fellow prosecutor but I gave him all my reasons to choose Liz when he goes to his primary. Like ours in CT it's in late April.

I'm doing same for my other two kids: one in CA and the other in MA (which doesn't require a sell on my part - they're on board!).

I have a list of contacts to call and give my big pitch to for Liz.

Let's all do the same. Every little bit helps!

Of course, his earliest memories of me are hearing about my anti-Vietnam War activities. He remembers the signs I had in our house and how active I was. It was because he was 3 years old when I got so worried he'd be sucked into that seemingly endless war that I went to work for an anti-war organization. I've been an activist since!

He mentioned Bernie and I told him how, as a woman, I did not like being yelled at, as Bernie often seems to do. And I voted for Bernie in our CT dem primary in 2016! But now I'm hoping my son takes my experience into consideration and votes for Elizabeth in his NY primary.
