He's got a book called A Citizen's Guide to Beating Donald Trump.

Episode: “Whistle while you spy.”

It was said to be an answer to the question of what the public can do to help beat Trump, with an emphasis on taking ownership of the election and encouraging active participation beyond just voting.

So I'm simply saying, first of all, from someone who's run presidential campaigns, why volunteer work is important. The difference it can make. How you registering five voters in Michigan may not seem like a lot. But if just 2,000 other people in Michigan did the same thing, that's like the win margin in Michigan. So it matters.

Make your own plan for this election.

So first, if you live in a battleground state. So I was in the last two days in North Carolina and Florida and saying the whole world's counting on you.

If you hadn't been a precinct leader before in Hillary's campaign or Obama's, consider doing that. If you're doing four hours a month, can you do 12? If you haven't been doing a lot of social media where you're sharing content and fighting against disinformation, do that.
