VAll On The Line
 On Election Day, Virginia showed the entire country what our future will look like if we win the fight for fair maps. Take a look:

"New maps were supposed to give Virginia's black voters more power.Tuesday's elections suggest it worked."
-- The Virginia Pilot

"Virginia Democrats' Victory Proves That Gerrymandering Matters"
-- Slate

"The Democratic Wins in Virginia Are What Happens When You Have... Fair Elections"
-- The Nation
President Obama is supporting All On The Line because it is the only organization with the training, organizing, and advocacy strategy to continue the battle for fair maps.
Will chip in to help fund our efforts? 

For years, control of the Virginia legislature was locked up by conservative map manipulators who drew racial gerrymanders to lock in their power. But a court implemented new, fair maps earlier this year and the result was a fair election for the House of Delegates for the first time in a decade.

As excited as I am about the outcome in Virginia, our path to fair elections will be tougher in our 2020 target states. We know that politicians don't always do the right thing on their own. It's why we need to invest in building a grassroots organizing team across our target states.

Right now, state legislators in North Carolina are doing everything in their power to sidestep a state court decision striking the prior gerrymandered maps and urging the General Assembly to draw new, fair maps. Grassroots advocates and All On The Line volunteers are working overtime to keep these legislators honest, through old-fashioned organizing and advocacy tactics.

As AG Holder said, "The needs are great, the time is now... It's going to take citizen involvement. It's going to take you." Are you able to meet the needs of the moment and pitch in a few dollars to support our movement?

Economic Observer
 
Trade, Inflation, and the Fed

Overview: Much like last week, daily volatility remained relatively high, but mortgage rates ended with little change. Headlines about the trade negotiations with China had more influence than the economic data, but neither significantly altered the long-term outlook for the economy.

On Thursday, a Chinese trade official said that both sides have agreed to simultaneously remove some existing tariffs. This caused investors to grow more optimistic that a limited trade agreement covering some basic items will be signed. More difficult issues, such as the protection of intellectual property, will be addressed in future discussions. However, later reports indicated that some U.S. officials are opposed to any tariff reductions until an agreement has been reached in a wider range of areas. The result is that investors remain just as uncertain about the current level of progress in the trade talks, and the net effect on mortgage rates was small.

In October, the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased at a 2.3% annual rate, which matched expectations and had little impact on mortgage rates. CPI is a widely followed monthly inflation report that looks at the price change for goods and services. Investors generally prefer the core reading, which excludes the volatile food and energy components, to determine the underlying trend.

In testimony to Congress on Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that Fed officials expect moderate economic growth and inflation near their target levels. He went on to say that if this is the case, the Fed is unlikely to adjust the federal funds rate for a while. These comments were in line with other recent statements from Fed officials.
