Some info that I found on a Bernie Sanders group on Facebook.

"IMPORTANT MESSAGE.....
Someone asked me recently in a post if I was the official campaign representative here in CT. My answer was a resounding NO but that I would contact VT for guidance and information and I just spoke to someone in that office. Here is the short report
1. Official campaign information kits are not yet available (I stressed that I understand how much they have to do but that people are very much in need of them asap)
2. We are all encouraged to do whatever grassroots campaigning we are able to get started: house parties, voter registration, etc.
3. It is the hope of the campaign that ALL individual groups will refrain from "Hillary bashing" and respect Bernie's plan to stick to his own agenda and let her speak for herself (we can let her shoot herself in the foot all on her own!). However, sharing comparative information about Bernie's and Hillary's stand on the issues, voting patterns, etc. is important information and can be shared without nasty memes, etc.
4. I'm hoping to get a call back sometime tomorrow with more information about what setting up an official CT campaign will look like, who will be in charge of it and how each of us can make the greatest contribution. I'll share that information as soon as the call is completed! At this point, there is most definitely NOT an official campaign set up in our state. Connecticut for Bernie Sanders Team will take as much of a role as possible in that effort when we know what is happening and we ask all of you to join us.
I'll share this post on several pages and I ask you to do the same. It can even go to other states. I suggest that someone from each state contact the main VT office and let them know, if you haven't already, that you want information, etc. My personal thinking is that we need to act in solidarity!!! We have so much work to do - let's be sure it's the most supportive and effective work of all the candidate campaigns!!!

In solidarity,
Debra"
