Next week is Indiana. 92 Delegates. Open Primary.

It's more important than ever that we make calls because of the media narrative.

Bernie IS going to the convention no matter what.
He needs all the delegates he can get in order to make sure everything he has been fighting for will be included in the Dem platform going forward.
Delegates = power. The more delegates he has, the stronger his message will be.

We need to keep moving forward with our message; and to counter the msm.


I know tonight was hard, but dang - I am so proud of Bernie and all that he has accomplished so far.
He was an unknown Senator that took on the most powerful political machine and look at where he is today.

We owe it to Bernie to continue our fight and help him win as many delegates as possible.

Are you in? Are you willing to pick up the phone for an hour or two and make some calls?

This state went for Obama in 2008, and Romney in 2012 in the General. It's a real crapshoot here.

A fellow canvasser and phone banker, and teacher, fed up with how few converts she was getting, decided herself as well as via an assignment to her students to find each day (or maybe she gave them 2 days) five people who were undecided and convert them to Bernie; find them among strangers as well as friends and colleagues. This reminds me (in case anyone reading this can get to the head organizer, Zack Malitz, or anyone highup in the national or upcoming CA campaign, of the efforts I have made for the campaign to use a clever app, kedzoh dot the usual, which makes it easy for volunteers who come up with creative and better ideas than what is currently being used, to share their better techniques, their creative solutions, with fellow volunteers. The CEO of the company that owns the app is pro Bernie, but having no luck hearing back from Central HQ or Zack.

A teacher has no business at all assigning students to convert undecided voters to Bernie, or anyone else.

Interesting first post.
