Getting Bernie Sanders elected President WILL NOT BE A SPECTATOR SPORT. If it is going to happen it will require YOU to become a full time organizer between now and Nov. 2016. This page is a HOW TO MANUAL to show you how to become a powerful organizing force using your computer.
This How To Manual for Internet Organizing is a contribution to the Bernie Sanders movement from a professional writer who has written 4 editions of an internationally published "how to" book, which has been #1 in its genre for nearly 2 decades. He has also been a lifelong professional and volunteer political organizer for 40 years. If you use this manual YOU WILL HAVE A POWERFUL IMPACT IN GETTING BERNIE ELECTED. Use this, and also share this page with every Bernie supporter, and Bernie FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. page you can find, in order to create an army of effective organizers.
2 Important Tips:
1) Stay plugged into the current Bernie Sanders sites you are involved in, so when they have ACTIONS for you to take, you can a) do them, and b) share them with other Bernie supporters and pages
2) DO NOT spend hours chit-chatting with other Bernie supporters. It is a waste of your precious computer time. Use your time reaching out "beyond the Bernie Choir." Corporate media will try to ignore and dismiss Bernie's revolution, so wee must BECOME THE MEDIA, and this page will train you in how to do that.
3) DO NOT waste time arguing with people who do not support Bernie, they will suck up all your precious time. When I trained under Progressive Democrates of America Founder, Tim Carpenter, we leafleted on street corners (before the Internet). Tim told me to not argue with people, because as I spent 30 minutes arguing with that person I would never convince, 20, 30, or 50 people who already agreed with our cause would walk by and never get our information about our movement. When someone argues, just move on ... spend your time, ORGANIZING, ORGANIZING, ORGANIZING.
3) Start "friending" other Bernie supporters. Fill your Friend capacity with Bernie supporters, to create a national network of Bernie supporters that can communicate rapidly and instantly when needed. (The Arab Spring Revolutions were conducted using Facebook, you have tremendous power in this computer you are now reading this on, if you use it well. We'll show you how).
WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR ONLINE TIME?
Bernie has given you a powerful organizing tool, his years of straight talk, available on Youtube, is something you can use to BECOME THE MEDIA.
A) The Democratic Party has limited the number of debates, and chose times with low television viewership. WE MUST POLITELY DEMAND that Democratic Party Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schulz, hold many debates, and do so in prime time. Bernie's message resonates with most Americans if you look at the polls. All we need to do to win is make sure Bernie's message gets through to them.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
Write a comment on Ms. Shulz's FB page:
https://www.facebook.com/RepDebbieWassermanSchultz?fref=ts
ALSO, send your messages to the DNC (Democratic National Committee):
http://my.democrats.org/page/s/contact
Sample message for Debbie:
"Dear Debbie, as Chair of the Democratic Party it is crucial that you hold as many debates as possible so the American people can hear the candidates position. THE CURRENT NUMBER AND POOR TV TIMES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. We need more Democratic TV debates and we need them in prime time viewing slots."
* NOTE: Once you do the above, do not just do it once, contact Debbie DAILY. Also share this action with your thousands of new Bernie Supporter FB Friends (see above action on FB Friends), and post this action on all Bernie sites nationwide. Debbie and the Democratic Committee need to wake up to TEN THOUSAND MESSAGES DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY. PUSH, PROD, PROVOKE ... do not lay down and let our political system be misused in order to coronate a candidate they have already chosen.
B) Corporate media attempts to divide Bernie Sanders from minority voters. Here's what you can do.
AFRICAN AMERICAN OUTREACH:
Black Lives Matter Activist, Dr. Cornell West, Endorses Bernie Sanders in this Youtube video. Take this Youtube video and post it on every Black Lives Matter FB, Twitter, etc. page, and include this title "Black Lives Matter Activist, Dr. Cornell West, Endorses Bernie Sanders"

"Bernie Sanders Decades Long Civil Rights Champion"

Also post this on all African American political pages, Black Democrat pages, etc. Use your imagination. Your computer is a universe of power, use it to the max, spending 1, 2, 3, 4 hours per day sending videos out as above. Corporate media will NOT get Bernie Elected, YOU will. BECOME THE MEDIA.
African Americans will respond to Bernie's message, of free university education, expanding social security, raising minimum wage to $15 per hour as well (see below).
HOW DO I FIND FB PAGES FOR "BLACK LIVES MATTER" OR "BLACK DEMOCRATS" ETC.?
Enter in the Facebook search box "Black Lives Matter New York" and you'll see a drop down list of FB pages related to this. Contact each of them to post the above title and video. Then type "Black Lives Matter California" and you'll find another list. What I do is open a U.S. State Maps image by searching google for one, and I methodically go state by state until I've contacted Black Lives Matter, etc. groups in all 50 states.
LATINO AMERICAN OUTREACH:
Bernie Sanders has long been a champion of Immigration Reform and worker's rights, and when Hispanic Americans know this, as well as Bernie's "Free University" "Raise Minimum Wage" "Expand Social Security" they will vote for Bernie by the millions. BECOME THE MEDIA!
Here's how:
Post this video of Bernie on Immigration Reform on all Latino Immigration Reform, Hispanic Democratic and Latino Rights FB, Twitter, etc. pages, with this title, "Bernie Sanders, a Long Time Champion of Immigration Reform and Workers Rights"

HOW DO I FIND FB PAGES FOR "IMMIGRATION REFORM" OR "LATINO DEMOCRATS" ETC.?
Enter in the Facebook search box "Immigration Reform New York" and you'll see a drop down list of FB pages related to this. Contact each of them to post the above title and video. Then type "Immigration Reform California" and you'll find another list. Use your imagination to do searches to find relevant Latino, Latino Rights, Democratic Latino or Hispanic social media pages to search for. What I do is open a U.S. State Maps image by searching google for one, and I methodically go state by state until I've contacted Black Lives Matter, etc. groups in all 50 states.
UNIVERSITY STUDENT OUTREACH:
Bernie is the ONLY candidate calling for FREE UNIVERSITY EDUCATION FOR ALL AMERICAN STUDENTS. University students need to know this. Post this below video on all university and student organization websites, with a title "Bernie Sanders on Free University Education for ALL Americans"

NOTE: I've been organizing for 40 years, before the Internet. You may not realize the power your computer gives you to BECOME THE MEDIA, you can effectively leaflet thousands of people a day effectively by sharing Bernie's youtubes like this one. Spend 1, 2, 3, 4 hours a day doing these actions, and then urging other Bernie supporters to do so, by sharing this Facebook Organizing page on all Bernie related sites. You can help create an army of Bernie supporters who are HIGHLY EFFECTIVE ORGANIZERS. YOU ARE POWERFUL BEYOND IMAGINATION, IF YOU USE THIS COMPUTER WELL.
All American university and college student need to see the above video, and YOU can help make that happen by posting the above youtube video link on all student related social media pages.
HOW DO I FIND FB PAGES FOR "UNIVERSITY STUDENT GROUPS" OR "COLLEGE STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS" ETC.?
Enter in the Facebook search box "Student Organizations New York" and you'll see a drop down list of FB pages related to this. Contact each of them to post the above title and video. Then type "College Student Groups California" and you'll find another list. What I do is open a U.S. State Maps image by searching google for one, and I methodically go state by state until I've contacted university student groups and organizations, etc. groups in all 50 states.
SENIOR VOTER OUTREACH:
Americans, by an overwhelming majority support Expanding Social Security, not cutting it. Bernie has an effective plan to do so, and he is the ONLY candidate who does, all the others will likely cut it.
American seniors need to know this! Share the below youtube video link on all senior related social media pages, with the title "Bernie Sanders on Expanding Social Security, NOT CUTTING IT."

HOW DO I FIND FB PAGES FOR "SENIOR RIGHTS" OR "SENIOR DEMOCRATS" ETC.?
Enter in the Facebook search box "Senior Organizations New York" and you'll see a drop down list of FB pages related to this. Contact each of them to post the above title and video. Then type "Senior Organizations California" and you'll find another list. What I do is open a U.S. State Maps image by searching google for one, and I methodically go state by state until I've contacted Senior Organizations, Senior Democrats, Social Security Groups, etc. groups in all 50 states.
BY NOW YOU GET THE PICTURE OF HOW TO USE YOUR COMPUTER TO BECOME A POWERFUL FORCE. Below are videos of Bernie on other issues, such as GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) labeling, which ALL natural and whole foods social media groups should know about, and you can make it happen by posting Bernie's youtube, with a title "Bernie Supports GMO Labeling."
We don't have to convince people by wasting time on arguing his points online. Millions already agree with Bernie, they just don't know it yet. Use the below videos as the ones above have been explained and you'll reach the masses with Bernie's message.
BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTS GMO LABELING - send to all natural foods / wholefoods social media

BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTS GREEN ECONOMY - post to all environmental social media pages, global warming, etc.

BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTS RAISING MINIMUM WAGE TO A LIVING WAGE, $15 PER HOUR - post to all labor sites, etc.

BERNIE SANDERS SEEKS TO CUT MILITARY SPENDING - post to all peace related websites

Folks this revolution to fix America, get us off a war and oil economy and onto one that cares for our children and our sick and elderly WILL NOT BE TELEVISED.
WE MUST BECOME THE MEDIA, and the above techniques empower you to be that.
And when Bernie wins ... OUR WORK WILL TRULY BEGIN ... these massive Facebook Friend networks we are building now by adding Bernie supporters to your FB, Twitter, etc. friends ... will have to work even harder to impliment Bernie's revolution.
This campaign is a training ground for the real battle. When Bernie gets elected we will have to deluge Congress and media with demands that Bernie's common sense solutions be implimented. We will have to make sure that every Congress person who stands against a $15 minimum wage wakes up to hundreds of thousands of emails and phone calls demanding that working Americans have a livable wage.
When they try to cut, rather than expand social security, they need to be bombarded with demands from us.
And we will have to become an army of media watchdogs, watching corporate media, and when they spin their corporate spin against Bernie's solutions .... these media hosts must wake up to hundreds of thousands of calls and emails.
AMERICA ... IT IS TIME TO GET OFF OUR KNEES.
If you look at the FCC charter, you find that the airwaves that CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc. use ... do not belong to them ... they belong to the American people. And we have the right to demand that they report news, not act as PR firms for corporate interests.
BERNIE SANDERS IS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT MAY NOT COME AGAIN IN YOUR LIFETIME ... TAKE THE REIGNS AND RIDE THIS INTO A NEW FUTURE FOR US AND OUR CHILDREN.
Bernie cannot do this ... but WE, TOGETHER, AN ARMY OF INTERNET ACTIVISTS CAN. Save this page, keep busy with it. Share it with every Bernie supporter and social media page you can find. Post links to this page constantly so that as new Bernie supporters come onto those sites, they are educated on how to become power house activists, not just Bernie fans.

1. My area has a lot of seniors, so I made this:

[link:|

[artislife]

9. I love this!!

[brooklynite]

2. I think this is an exercise in futility...

...Barack Obama won by 1) micro targeting voters in key States and localities, and 2) giving those voters direct contact with staff and/or volunteers who could make a compelling case in their own words. Posting messages and videos may make you feel like you've accomplished something, but I think you're going to find a low return rate. A large portion of the electorate doesn't troll the internet looking for campaign videos or discussing policy matters.

[artislife]

10. Translation

(This might destroy the influence with donor money, which if you have followed me, you would know I am very partial to.)

There is absolutely no reason why YouTube now has ads on the video face. There is no reason why DU has banners along the side with vote for Hillary. Internet has no influence on the minds of its users.

PS. there is a part about going out and meeting live people in real life in the OP.

[brooklynite]

12. #4 downthread

[artislife]

13. This is an OP about using our media to fight corporate media

But thank you.

We will be going outside.

We have been leaving our houses this summer and going to events. Or haven't you noticed?

[haikugal]

28. .

Thank you.....

[Fawke Em]

18. Ah-em.... Bernie is doing that now.

I went to a training meeting over the weekend.

[murielm99]

3. Most people, even here,

on a political site, will ignore this post. It has too much detail and is too long to absorb in one sitting.

There are ways to use the Internet to campaign. You obviously don't know how to do that.

[Fawke Em]

19. I agree on the length.

I "do" social media for a living.

Posted downthread this needs to be parsed out in smaller bites.

But, the cool thing about this OP is you can cut and paste these snippets all from one location throughout the day.

[murielm99]

22. This is all pie-in-the-sky stuff.

It is not an effective use of social media.

[emulatorloo]

4. Face to face contact with voters is what will get Bernie elected

Yes social media and posting vids is a great tool. But person to person interactions are the best way to get around the MSM spin. Based on my experience knocking doors.

[FarPoint]

5. Bernie is already eating Hillary's dust...

He has great insight and passion as does his supporters... That said, he never had a chance to start off with and can never give us anything more than hope.

[rhett o rick]

6. He is an important part of the Populist Movement that is catching on not only here in America

but around the world. The Peoples are tired of the oligarchy domination. We need Sen Sanders but if the oligarchs do buy this election it will be a set back but the momentum will carry on. We must get control of our government back from the billionaire oligarchy.

[UglyGreed]

7. Kick

thanks for the reply. Here a video for Hillary and her love of Wall Street

"2) DO NOT spend hours chit-chatting with other Bernie supporters. It is a waste of your precious computer time. Use your time reaching out "beyond the Bernie Choir." Corporate media will try to ignore and dismiss Bernie's revolution, so wee must BECOME THE MEDIA, and this page will train you in how to do that."

I've been ostracized from a certain support group because I posted too many events that we were hosting and people chose to deem it as bragging.

There's a place for "Rah rah, my candidate" but it doesn't translate to activism and it certainly doesn't translate to votes outside of your own choir.

[hill2016]

11. forgot to mention

vote on internet online polls as many times as possible

[Fawke Em]

16. Sigh.

[Fawke Em]

14. This needs to be parsed into bite-sized snippets for Twitter, Instagram, etc.

And repeated over and over and over again.

I see far too many posts on social media from people who don't understand the primary process and think they'll only be needed in November 2016. They need to know they have to clear the first hurdle.

Excellent work, OP.

[Godhumor]

15. Spend up to 4 hours a day spamming African American political forums with Sanders Videos?

And someone liked this idea enough to post it as a legitimate suggestion? Would love to hear how that works out.

[Fawke Em]

17. Tweeting videos is not spamming.

You don't know how social media works.

[Godhumor]

20. Uh huh, and pages aren't tweets

Also post this on all African American political pages, Black Democrat pages, etc. Use your imagination. Your computer is a universe of power, use it to the max, spending 1, 2, 3, 4 hours per day sending videos out as above. Corporate media will NOT get Bernie Elected, YOU will. BECOME THE MEDIA.
-----------

But thanks for the social media education.

[bravenak]

21. OH. MY. GOD.

Black Lives Matter Activist, Dr. Cornell West, Endorses Bernie Sanders in this Youtube video. Take this Youtube video and post it on every Black Lives Matter FB, Twitter, etc. page, and include this title "Black Lives Matter Activist Dr. Cornel West, Endorses Bernie Sanders"
Also post this on all African American political pages, Black Democrat pages, etc. Use your imagination. Your computer is a universe of power, use it to the max, spending 1, 2, 3, 4 hours per day sending videos out as above. Corporate media will NOT get Bernie Elected, YOU will. BECOME THE MEDIA.
African Americans will respond to Bernie's message, of free university education, expanding social security, raising minimum wage to $15 per hour as well (see below).
HOW DO I FIND FB PAGES FOR "BLACK LIVES MATTER" OR "BLACK DEMOCRATS" ETC.?
Enter in the Facebook search box "Black Lives Matter New York" and you'll see a drop down list of FB pages related to this. Contact each of them to post the above title and video. Then type "Black Lives Matter California" and you'll find another list. What I do is open a U.S. State Maps image by searching google for one, and I methodically go state by state until I've contacted Black Lives Matter, etc. groups in all 50 states.

This is the worst plan I have ever seen. Is this why so many african americans are complaining of being harassed? I would not do this thing.

[George II]

23. If only they'd joined the Democratic Party a while back and learned how a campaign...

..is really conducted.

There's a huge percentage of the electorate that are older and don't get into Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. There may be an even a bigger percentage of African Americans who don't have access to any of that stuff.

The key to campaigning is still walking the neighborhoods, knocking on doors, and talking to people face to face. But people who haven't been involved in campaigning until just recently don't know about that.

[bravenak]

24. I always get phone calls and door knocks. I always show up to vote.

Facebook has nothing to do with my vote. Nor does Cornel West spam messages.

[mcar]

29. If only the author of the OP's tutorial

Had learned about paragraphs.

[cwydro]

33. Lol!

I had that same thought.

[NaturalHigh]

25. "This is the worst plan I have ever seen."

Contacting potential supporters is the worst idea you've ever seen?

[bravenak]

27. The manner of contact. Spamming blm pages with Cornel videos and bernie posts? Bad idea.

[mcar]

30. Really bad idea

Four hours a day posting Bernie videos on "Black Democrat" sites? A sure winner!

[bravenak]

31. It woukd drive insane people posting to me like that all day.

[JustAnotherGen]

36. I'm shutting down my twitter right now

[bravenak]

37. Do it!!! Before they come!!!

[JustAnotherGen]

39. I have BLM hash tags

Better do it

[emulatorloo]

32. BLM and other "targeted groups" are well aware of the Cornell West endorsement.

They don't need to be spammed as if they are somehow politically ignorant. This will most likely alienate them.

[Number23]

35. Exactly. And it's tactics like this that Sanders supporters have already utilized and have ALREADY

alienated alot of black people.

Doubling down on stupid, counter productive tactics... how is this a winning strategy????

[zappaman]

34. is this a joke?

[bravenak]

38. I wish.

[peacebird]

26. Excellent!

[Recursion]

40. Paragraph breaks, invented by 6th-century Byzantine monks, make text easier to read

Look into them
