TO: As many Alabamians as we can tweet to:
We who are tweeting to you believe Luther Strange and Roy Moore are for polarization of our country, and that polarization keeps Congress from doing its job properly for the American people.
We believe Doug Jones is the opposite and will contribute to reducing the polarization in Congress, and this will enable Congress to do its job for the American people.
We understand this means compromising, and neither side will get only its way in Congress.
We believe Alabama (and the country) will be better off with a Congress that works by compromise, as opposed to a Congress that doesn't work because of polarization.
We want Alabama Republicans and Democrats in Alabama to discuss this with each other in the run up to the special election vote on December 12th.
If Alabamians think about how the polarization of Congress, and its failure to work properly, has harmed the country, we believe they will conclude that Strange or Moore will only increase the polarization, and that Doug Jones is a better choice for reducing the polarization and getting Congress to work properly.
To get this message out, we want to send thousands of tweets to Alabamians to ask them to join with us, and send even more thousands of tweets to other Alabamians.
To join in with us, please follow Steps One and Two below.
