@AlphaTrish73 @Ana_Mac1 @GovTimWalz Please listen to me, a fellow Republican. There's no causation between the vaccine & the things you listed. Those are scare tactics by foreign governments to scare people, keep COVID alive, & slow the US economy. Pres. Trump's admin oversaw the vaccine's development. It's safe.

[Mike Miller @MikeMiller_29]

@Ana_Mac1 @GovTimWalz Feel free to wear one, but don't make the rest of us. Especially if we are vaccinated. The difference in a vaccinated person wearing a mask and not wearing one is completely negligible.

Plus, a vaccine mandate is a way better way to go, and would survive a court challenge.

When asking for donations, volunteers, or urging advocacy, appeal to passion. Folks have to care enough to spend the time. Then, they need to see they're being effective. No one wants to waste time. Finally, have a recognition program thanking them. People aspire to recognition.

I'm proud of what we accomplished together from 2015 to 2021. Student voting rates are through the roof, we saved millions of dollars for the institution, & changed the culture. Unfortunately, if the right person doesn't get it, any program can get axed, & I was a victim of that.

Just wanted to pop in and let you all know that since I was let go from the U of M, I have changed this Twitter account from UMNAdvocates to my own professional account. I will still offer advice and suggestions on how to help with messaging.

[Mike Miller @MikeMiller_29]

Another thing you should know is the reason I was let go. University leaders decided to pull back on advocacy and student voting. During a Pandemic. When face to face lobbying is almost impossible.

The spread of misinformation about the novel #coronavirus and its #vaccine is a pressing concern among medical experts. Dr. Kristina Krohn (@GlobalHealthDr) from the Division of General Internal Medicine weighed in on the topic. https://t.co/CQFFTmeXDT

If you haven't heard yet, @GovTimWalz recommended full funding for the @UMNews in fiscal years 2022-2023! We are grateful for this demonstration of confidence! Please thank Governor Walz here: https://t.co/DHb7X9ZbhC

Minnesota had 79.96% voter turnout. That is the highest since the voting age changed from 21 to 18. We can't wait to find out how all five campuses did!

@cglaridaen @KeysCafeMN Lucky or just tradition?

[Mike Miller @MikeMiller_29]

Our old friend Max Hurst has an Election Day Tradition. Here at #UMNAdvocates World HQ, we eat dinner at @KeysCafeMN on Election Day. What are your Election Day traditions, lucky or not? How does COVID impact those traditions?

[Hurst @MaxHurst_]

Just realized my Election Day Blazer is back home in Illinois, and I don't have it in DC. I've worn it on Election Day and GOTV events dating back to 2014.

It's not a big deal though, it's not like it's a "lucky" election blazer or anything... It's just a blazer.

[Mike Miller @MikeMiller_29]

If you mailed your ballot back yesterday, that's OK! Just track it at https://t.co/KuBb0AWLEl. If they haven't received your ballot by Monday, make a plan to vote in-person on Tuesday. If your mailed ballot arrives Tuesday, the county will simply throw it away. That is NOT fraud.

From now until the election, early voting locations have extended hours, including over the weekend. GO VOTE NOW! We have a list of all early voting locations at https://t.co/nPTXF7rd6M. For Twin Cities students, MSA is reimbursing for Uber/Lyft at https://t.co/tmCLxc3Bj8!

You can see more of their awesome voting work on their Insta: https://t.co/p3HRuJshKd

Awesome work, team!

[Mike Miller @MikeMiller_29]

"Wood" you like to vote? Time is getting short to get your absentee ballot, but you can still go to an early vote location or vote on Election Day itself! More info at https://t.co/5rgL4uCEk7
