"We have a...Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting. 
They won't let the majority of senators vote.  And certainly they wouldn't want the majority of people to vote. "

Why volunteer?

"I see people nod and smile as they read our early in-person voting information.  They look up say “thank you!” and often take more for others.  Thanks to all of us  (especially Linea, Terri and Dorothy) for making a wealth of excellent information and making it available !  \O/"
