Since Illinois has same day registration, you have no excuse.

Go out, find someone not voting for Bernie (this is the hardest part but stay with me now), tell them all the great things about Bernie, offer to take them to the poll on Tuesday and help them register to vote for Bernie.

Do this, and you just doubled your vote. Fill your car or truck (if you have one) and you can quadruple or quintuple your vote for Bernie!

So, go out there and get busy for Bernie Sanders!!!


WIN! Bernie WIN!
