Spotlight On The Resistance – MONDAY 12/13/18
@NaphiSoc was born in Southern California in 1985. He went to Cal Berkeley where he got his Honors in Chemistry degree and is an R&D researcher, first in solar cells, then nanotechnology. He also became a Buddhist at the age of 14. He married (ultimately after a 7 year lapse in their relationship following their graduation) his high school girlfriend who also became a Buddhist along the way. They have a 3 ½ year old daughter.
Why does he #Resist? Simply stated, he considers climate change an existential threat to his child and the Republicans are doing nothing. As a trained chemist he actually “gets” the science behind climate change. He looks forward to the new House Dems – many of them now with a science background really getting serious on climate change with a #NewGreenDeal. Also, he is opposed to the Republican wars on science, environment, health, public education, voting rights, and civil rights. Furthermore, he believes the rise of Trump is akin to the rise of Fascism, and has to be stopped.
He perhaps is to the right of many (but not all) Dems on Israel and Defense matters – but the fact is, he has never voted for a single Republican in his life.
He sponsored many an ActBlue matching campaign as can be seen in this Google search https://www.google.com/search…
His style of candidate selection was based on the concept “the vital few and not the trivial many”, and was gratified to see over a 90% success rate for his “flippers”. Between himself and others (including a mysterious wow anonymous contribution of $4500) his campaigns raised about $20K this cycle, mainly for House races, but also for Jackie Rosen’s senate race in Nevada.
He was one of the first to see Orange County California having 4 potential flippable districts (they all did), and raised over $1000 for the Democratic Party of Orange County when they literally did not have the funds to buy a replacement toner cartridge. All 4 races ultimately flipped.
He will be focusing on helping Climate Hawks and 314 PACs elect even more climate conscious Dems in 2020. “Keep resisting.”
