Harris Walz sign wave Sunday
from 11 to 2 at Speedway and Campbell
Join us Sunday from 11am to 2pm at Speedway and Campbell for our last sign waving hurrah for Kamala Harris.
Come and stand with us!
Many of you have told me this experience has lifted their hearts and hopes. And I have been inspired by the Democrats I have met and the canvassers who knocked on hundreds of doors. The phone bankers. The ordinary folks who wanted to answer Michelle Obama’s call to “do something.” The people I have met who came to our community to play a role in shoring up our democracy, like the woman I met from Colorado, or the canvasser from England or the Polish tourists, the couple who saw us and wanted to stand with us against Donald Trump. Amazing.
Come Sunday and you can take home some Kamala signs.
I want to unload all of the beautiful Harris Walz campaign signs and banners I’ve accumulated from our past waves. Must be 60 or more signs. And three banners. Take them home with you! Collectibles you’ll treasure when she wins. I have more than enough.
Sunday forecast: Bring umbrellas and grit.
Gusts up to 17mph. Fifty-five degrees at noon. At 11am there’s a 25% chance of rain, 30% at noon until it hits 35% at 2pm. My wife Ellen said don’t change a thing. I’m with her. Bring a ‘brella. Go with the flow.
Today I was late to our Saturday Broadway Wilmot wave…
…because I went to the intersection of Speedway and Wilmot and met an earnest Dem who was David Letterman’s publicist. She went to Speedway and Wilmot, too, and we wondered where everyone was and we figured waiting in line to see Walz or canvassing so we waved signs and got honks and thumbs ups and then my phone rang.
“This is Linda. Where are you?”
“Linda! You’re supposed to be in Mexico. I’m at Speedway and Wil-”
“We’re all at Broadway and Wilmot. Like the schedule you made shows. There’s about 40 of us.”
“Doh.”
I hung up and sped to see my friends, and fellow Harris acolytes, waving their placards and flags and giant vinyl banners in the sunlight. I parked, loaded up my red wagon with our cornucopia of signs and a boom box full of street tunes and in my Uncle Sam hat I struggled to look cool, as if I went to Speedway and Wilmot on purpose.
Yeah, that’s it. I was scoping it out for “future actions”.
No one believed me.
You can’t lie to Democrats.
Come Sunday, hell or high water, I’ll be there.
I’ve made so many new friends doing this. It’s been an honor taking it to the street for Harris and Walz with all of you.
This Sunday, for one last time, let’s take to the streets together and make a joyful noise for Kamala Harris. Let’s get out there and show Coach Walz our spirit. Let’s turn Arizona blue!

An enormous thank you/danke/merci/gracias to David for organizing all of these sign-waving events. We don't know if we put more votes in Kamala's column but we did what we could--positive action in this too-often negative world. Let's hope for decent weather tomorrow. Kamala on SNL tonight.
I was at Broadway & Wilmot today and it was a great experience. We got a lot of positive honks and thumbs up. A bunch of bozos drove by in the their 10mpg trucks honking horns with djt stickers. These are the same jerks complaining about gas prices. Apparently, they were too weak to standout in the sun waving signs.The last time I did any physical acts for a politician was in 1964 for .... Barry Goldwater. I'm really hoping the results will be different this time.
