The Washington-based Democratic Attorneys General Association lobby and two dozen other progressive groups have lined up actors Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon for an 11th hour voter turnout program.

They’re seeking 1 million volunteers in the weekend before the Nov. 6 elections to knock on doors and urge people to vote.

“We need to come together to devote 1 million hours of volunteer time to make the Big Blue Wave a reality,” said the Democratic Attorneys General Association.

“Be on the right side of history,” Sedgwick said. “Don’t just vote this year, volunteer,” her hubby of 29 years added.

Turn out is going to be key to the mid-terms.  Dems are motivated by anti-trump.  GOP will need to get TOGETHER and put the petty differences aside and go out and rally the GOP base ... if they want to hold the house and senate.  Heck, I think that it might even be possible to gain seats if President Trump starts a push to turn up and vote.
