If my memory is correct, Dr. Snyder was ringing doorbells and talking with folks in Ohio before the 2016 election; I'm glad he'll be visiting his home state this fall. Now I have to secure a couple of tickets for the event in Chicago after which I'll book a plane ticket and let my son and daughter-in-law that I'll be visiting for a few days. Of course I've already ordered my copy of "On Freedom", and I'm looking forward to its arrival this month.

Best wishes for a successful book tour 👏🏻

Meanwhile, in Tallahassee …

On Saturday, members of the Texas-based white supremacist and neo-fascist hate group Patriot Front were spotted in Florida's capital city. The 20-or-so men were dressed in khakis and wearing white balaclavas covering their faces while toting their hate group's flag and the Confederate flag.

"They can report back to their Trump-supporting founder that Tallahassee is a great town that represents a great state, and their ideas have no place here," State Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell said.

OHIO is lucky to have you.

Can you have at least one of these events on Zoom?

Many thanks for this, Mark. I set up a notification. Taking a break from phone banking to watch the livestream would be a great group activity for our local Democratic club.

Good call, Nancy! It’s a marathon not a sprint—breaks essential.

Tim, Your talk at The Bexley Library in Ohio is also sponsored by Gramercy Books. The store is across the street from the library. Your talk is a featured event in the 100 year celebration for Bexley’s awesome public library!

Wonderful itinerary!

Hopefully you will open people’s minds to the possibilities of freedom

in our daily lives! And change a few minds when it comes to the ballot box!

Ok Thrilled....I live in Florida but I'm from Dallas!! Just registered for the Dallas event.

What a great bookstore and area of town that is going to be in. Perfect excuse for me to also invite one of my Dallas friends to go with me also. Very exciting! Love StacyO 💕

I would love to attend the Oklahoma event because it’s not far (about 75 miles) from my birthplace of Fort Sill.

Unfortunately I have a long medical appointment the next morning and would have to drive to and back from my adopted state of New Mexico. I’m not in good health so it will take quite a bit of heavy lifting and I would need help with that.

Since my husbands death in November of last year, his family have promised to help but are never available, other than coming into our home 4 days after his death to tell me which of his things they want. They and my family are all MAGA cult members.

I’ve called and asked for the help they offered and it’s usually something like this, “Well, I can be available for two hours on the fourth week of November from 2-4 pm.

I will see you in Cincy! But, no talk in Dayton? Ordered your book. Good luck with the tour.

Ohio is a great place to be this election season, home of the freedom fighters for women's reproductive rights. Everyone in America needs to hear, talk, and think about freedom intensively during the next 60-some days. While we are reading your book, it would be wonderful to have video of your book-tour discussions (at least one or two), if possible. Please also share your schedule of media appearances, podcasts, etc. We can pass it along to our own personal networks. I hope western Pennsylvanians will be reached through your Ohio events.

Any chance you can come to Philadelphia on the tour?

Thanks Tim for picking your home state of Ohio and other strategic places. Every visit, every action makes a difference in this crazy world. Here’s looking at you.

Oh, Dr. Snyder, what a mensch you are! It may always be an experience of pilgrimage to visit anywhere, but especially our birthplace(s). I look forward to reading about your experiences. Thank you.

Michigan’s going to get plenty of attention this fall!

We have. So Tim should pop in as well. We have a good venue in Ann Arbor.

Too bad New Mexico isn’t on your schedule. We understand. We’re not a swing state.

You GO, Professor Snyder! I pre-ordered your new book. Full-on.
