Help Bring Facts To Red States & Meaning To Me

Donation protected
Thank You So Much Everyone...

I am so grateful for the donations, shares, and kind words. I sure appreciate you and your efforts. We are not all the way there yet but my story and mission seem to be resonating at some level with people.

In return for your support and kindness, I will do my absolute best to make a difference in ruby red states before I go.

Coffee, cookies, and facts on the backroads of Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas — that’s the plan. Presented with purpose, humor, and connection — one conversation at a time, one red county at a time, focused on facts/outcomes and maybe get more purple and blue in their thought processing of specific issues. Even a few people per county starting to think in their best interests will be a positive result. From there who knows? Maybe it gets a little contagious?

The “Get rrr Done” Party of America Does Mississippi

A Stage 4 Road Trip For Democracy

Like millions of Americans, I’m sickened by the lawless Republican takeover. Our democracy is in the gravest of danger — and time is running out.

In February, I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer that had spread to my bones and spine. Doctors said I might have a year, maybe two left to live. That was eight months ago.

So instead of waiting for the end, I’m choosing to end with meaning. I can still drive, sit, walk a bit, think clearly, and speak clearly — so I will.

The Plan

I’m heading to Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas, county by county, to talk face-to-face with Republican voters. Just me, a Get rrr Done Party of America banner, two chairs, a table, coffee, cookies, and the facts.

I’ll set up in a county seat, sit with anyone willing to talk, and have real, human conversations about facts, priorities, and what’s at stake. The only rule is they have to sit down and talk to qualify for cookies and coffee.

You can’t grow cotton without seeds — and this mission is about planting them.

Why Mississippi?

Mississippi is the poster child for failed governance — ranked last in education and near the bottom in every quality of life category. Surely some families there want better. I’m going to encourage them to vote in their own interests — for their kids, for their futures, for all of us.

Mission Launch Date: November 11th
I ride at dawn to the great state of Mississippi. I have a couple nicknames for my mission. 1) The "Gulf of America" Tour, and my personal favorite, 2) "I'm supposed to be in Europe" Tour. It's going to be crazy and interesting.

Videos and Pictures: I will be sending out videos and pictures from the backroads of Mississippi for people to follow along. Get a glimpse of what rural life in Dixie looks like. I think the mission will be fascinating and most definitely worthy of your support.

How You Can Help

This mission is only possible with support from like-minded Americans.

Donate Today: Every dollar keeps the car rolling and the coffee hot. What ever amount is a casual amount to you is perfect and appreciated.

Donate Miles: Got extra airline miles? Help cover airfare costs.

Share: Please spread this page to your network — help the story reach people who care.

Remember, I’ll send video and email updates from the road so you can follow along. This is a unique opportunity to get a look under the hood of rural Mississippi.

Why It Matters

While this is a great political idea, it isn’t just about politics for me — it’s about purpose. It’s about finishing my life with dignity, humor, and hope. Remember, only you can send a man with stage 4 cancer to the backroads of Mississippi to fight for democracy. It’s crazy. It’s heartfelt. And it just might work a bit. And, every little bit helps as we move toward the midterms and beyond.
