New York 200k call goal was reached on BerniePB

https://www.berniepb.com/

That is a good sign... Someone on reddit did analysis that found whenever we achieved the goal and exceeded it we won. Places we lost that we could have won were lost because the goals on BerniePB were only 25%-35% reached. The only outlier being Arizona.

There is supposedly some formula the BerniePB people use to calculate the goals for each state, based on previous turnout and how much of a swing would be needed or somesuch and a rough percentage of how many calls of total phonebanking are going through BerniePB; they explained it on reddit too.

11. I got nine shifts, to go canvassing, filled yesterday by calling Sanders supporters

The headquarters I was at is organizing a push to go canvassing Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and even on election day. Several people I called wanted to canvas.

Lol, I bought some Subway sandwiches for the office on my way there and a college student came over to thank me for working for Senator Sanders. I had a Sanders hat on, and he might have overheard me saying to the Subway workers about who I was buying the food for. He can't canvass now but I got him to agree to try to phone bank from home.

Then at the gym a young couple stopped me to say they liked the Sanders hat and shirt I was wearing. I think they may now stop by to join in on the canvassing.

The office I went to is in Smithtown, if any people on Long Island, in Suffolk County, want to join in. There's an office in Deer Park as well.

Granted, it will only be for a couple of hours a night, but I do know that every little bit helps!
The more voters we get to the polls, the better our chances of winning!
