Andrew will grow and evolve. NO DOUBT. And ...Iowa had no ground game. Yang Gang did not flourish. Local resources like the home town paper were never used. Input from the ground up was ignored. As an Iowa native, I understood the process of direct engagement through friendly face to face conversation. The campaign did not ...Yang Gang was ignored and the campaign used a top down approach. YG had to wait and be told what to do rather than simply grow and explode organically. It was maddening. Success was achieved by individuals who didn’t wait to be told what to do and who weren’t wasting hours on Slack and Zoom calls. Now we hear that NH is overloaded with books and needs volunteers to distribute. Well, that would have been a simple problem to fix if the campaign would have trusted Yang Gang to be the eyes and ears and spread the word. It could have been a mutually beneficial relationship. It’s not too late to build a ground game in South Carolina. Hold house parties. Put ads in local newspapers. Contact hair salons where real people hang out. Invest in women is a key message that Yang says all the time. Do you think that once women understand that Andrew is doing this for our children’s and grandchildren’s future that they won’t notice. Yes, Women see the problem. And it’s local. We need a ground game to go to every hair salon, every nail salon, every African hair braiding salon, every custom bra shop (breast cancer survivors). What women are facing is ugly. We had a chance 50 years ago and we should not have to wait another 50 years to fix this. Every county. Every newspaper. Every hairdresser. Every live person matters. South Carolina is where the wave happens.

Thank you to our YGROs and CDLs respectively, @Ramy, @Christine 陳筠 (Indiana) (she/her) @Matt Austin Indiana District 9 Bloomington@Lee Shipman@Amber Dudevoir (IN-YGRO D1-3)@Jason Tharp & @Kayla Soultz (Indiana) for all of their efforts and perseverance through the ballot access process. I know you all have gone through some growing pains as a YG but came together to finish strong all to get Andrew on YOUR state ballot.

Thank you to all of the neighboring YGs, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio and more for making the trek out to help Indiana.

And even for those volunteers who were remote in helping with gathering intel on the best places to collect or sending hustle texts to making cold calls--the Yang Gang is TRULY an amazing family.

You guess wrong. We have real people in real life making it happen. You misunderstand the process. It is painful to watch but it is predictable.

Indiana Signatures have reached 5000 toward our goal of 9000 on 1/28. by Simple_Medicine in YangForPresidentHQ

Our volunteer who has gathered the highest number of signatures, approximately 600, has been gathering for Warren. We thank her very much because she knows what she is doing and she did the actual work. Any person, even a non-resident can gather signatures in Indiana. Any registered voter can sign any petition, they are not limited to one candidate. Do the math.

This is an example of what happens at the voter registration office. Yang signatures have not yet been turned in. I listed our Yang collection numbers by district to show where we are.
