Had a conversation in one of my DM rooms last night, folks needed to know how they could support us. So, a quick thread! Help spread the word:

1. Identify your candidates you want to support, learn their platforms, and pick some issues that are important to you. 2. Don't just like/RT their material, make yourself their promoter! "I support x candidate because of y issue," that sort of thing. Even make selfie style videos, if that's your thing.

3. Tell your friends! If an issue is important to them, mention your candidate's stance on it!

In case anyone was wondering why more good people don't run for office, I'm going to share a big reason that goes beyond "it's difficult" with you all right now: I've been to three events today. At the first, I had three different people share stories of personal tragedy. 1/ 2/ They recounted losing family members, jobs, and livelihoods, thanks in no small part to sitting legislators unwilling to support the working class.

We are the #workingclass, and we have not benefitted from the economy that Trump and his ilk love to tout. In the richest country in the world, this shouldn't be reality for anyone, 2/

I'm going to take a moment to address a bit of an elephant in the room:

Trump supporters, our criticism of him is not criticism of you. Trump wants you to believe it is, because then you won't recognize us. You won't realize we're your friends, your neighbors, 1/5 2/5 your brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. We don't resist him to spite you, we stand up because we care about you, and we don't want to see him continue to take advantage of you. We love you, we love our country, and we want to see everyone succeed,

I've released this as a complete document on facebook, but Twitter doesn't have a file upload button, so brace yourselves for the longest stream of tweets I'm likely to ever produce. I present, a (non-exhaustive) list of policy priorities: First and foremost in my priorities upon assuming office, should I have the privilege of representing the citizens of the great state of Tennessee, is pressing for healthcare reform. We’re one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and it’s completely unacceptable how (1/2)
