But we as Democrats must step up to help get out the base come election time.

Please come out and lend a hand. Bring your laptop and phone if you can.
If you check the calendar on our new website, you'll see that every single day is chock full of activities with various campaigns. You can come out any time to help any of these candidates maximize their reach.
