>> our Victory Counsel sign-up link at:
>> http://ofa.bo/Victory.
>> 
>> If you or anyone you know would like to sign up, please respond to

>> times you are available to volunteer. We also need to know if you live in 
>> a battleground state or are willing to relocate to a battleground state

>> 
>> We know that restrictive laws have been passed in certain states. We know

>> If you're in, please respond at your earliest convenience with the
