OVIEDO, Fla. — The anonymously financed conservative groups that have played such a crucial role this campaign year are starting a carefully coordinated final push to deliver control of Congress to Republicans, shifting money among some 80 House races they are monitoring day by day.

What can you do about it? Well…not a whole lot. But you can’t just lie down and die, can you? Let OFA know that you’re going to vote so they can stop worrying about you and start worrying about someone else. Volunteer to make some phone calls or knock on some doors. Make a contribution to a vulnerable candidate. Talk to your co-workers and change some minds. Do something, This isn’t any way to run a democracy, but we still have the right to fight for good representation.
