Election Day is November 5th, and some are voting already.
It’s time to close ranks and bring Donald Trump across the finish line. Unless you prefer a Kamala presidency, that is.
Let’s all go out and vote for Donald Trump.
In most states, however, there’s not much suspense. We’re already rather certain that Kamala is going to win California and Trump is going to win West Virginia, for example.
It’s still important to vote for Trump in these states, to contribute to the popular vote and support Republican senators and representatives.
The election will likely be decided in the Seven Swing States, which are still up in the air. These states are:
1. Georgia – 16 Electoral Votes
2. North Carolina – 16 Electoral Votes
3. Pennsylvania – 19 Electoral Votes
4. Michigan -15 Electoral Votes
5. Wisconsin – 10 Electoral Votes
6. Arizona – 11 Electoral Votes
7. Nevada – 6 Electoral Votes
The total quantity of electoral votes of these 7 states is 93.
What can we do to help Trump win in these states, even if we don’t live there?
Well there are some ways to do just that.
African-American Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, is a Trump supporter.
Elon Musk is calling for workers for Trump in the 7 swing states and is offering them 30 dollars an hour, “with bonuses for performance”.
If you are interested go to the America PAC website right now and pick a swing state.
Here’s the link: https://theamericapac.org/
That would be exciting, and useful.
For those for whom it’s not practical, there are other options.
One is Scott Presler’s Early Vote Action organization, which is supporting Trump in swing states with people actually working in those states and by others sending postcards and letters, texting and calling. Go to Scott’s website here: https://earlyvoteaction.com/
Also, the Republican National Committee has a program for volunteers to make phone calls to swing states.
It’s a very practical program, even for people like me, who aren’t techno wizards.
The program sets you up to make the calls, chooses those you call, dials the number for you and tells you what to say!
You can do it in your spare time. If you only have a little spare time you can do some good. If you have more time, even better.
Go to https://talk.donaldjtrump.com and let the party set you up.
I’ve just suggested three ways you can help Trump in these last few weeks. There are doubtless other ways. Including donating money. (Click here for that).
If you haven’t been doing anything, get with it!
Let’s all do what we can to help Trump (and other Republicans) win on November 5th !

Columbus Day, October 12th, commemorates the day Christopher Columbus brought Western Civilization to the New World. All New World nation-states, incuding both Mexico and the U.S. – are results of that.
In Spain, Columbus Day is known as Día de la Hispanidad (Day of Hispanicity). In Spanish-speaking Latin American countries it was traditionally known as Día de la Raza, Day of the Race, referring to the Mestizo Race, produced by a fusion of Spaniards and Indians.
In recent years though, in Spanish-speaking Latin America just as in the U.S.A., Columbus’ stock has been going down.
