The words "undeclared" and "independent" are not to be found in the CA registration process.

Here are the valid registrations to vote for Bernie Sanders:

1. You are a registered Democrat. You will be given or mailed a Dem party ballot.

2. You are a registered "No Party Preference" (NPP) voter, and you REQUEST the Democratic Party primary ballot at your polling place.**


Caveat: Do not accidentally register for the "American Independence Party." A lot of people have made this mistake. Just forget the word "independent" when you register.

If you are a Green or anything else, you need to do one or the other: Democratic or NPP (and request the Dem ballot).

The deadline is May 23 to change your registration.



**(--As an NPP, REQUEST the Dem ballot at your polling place, or REQUEST the Dem ballot for mail-in voting, but I don't know the deadline for requesting the Dem ballot for mail-in).

Please don't forget us. We are a big, liberal state with many, many delegates.

Thanks.

The campaign didn't end when your state voted.

Thanks again. Can't thank you enough if you keep volunteering.

This election is by no means over.

Hillary's staff has been called for depositions in the civil lawsuit. Anything can happen.

We need an army of callers and canvassers to make the revolution a success.

>>>> If anyone is interested in joining my team - we call Bernie supporters to organize them to canvass (working hand in hand with the local Bernie field organizers) -please PM me! We need you, and you will feel a helluva lot better when the results are coming in, and after. Take part; California can be yuge.

they didn't need any people to text.

I do call when I can from home. I'm a caregiver and it's hard to plan when I have time to sit and call.
Texting would be the best for me.

I'm surprised they don't need people texting... You might want to dig around a little more ...?

FWIW, in the initiative I'm leading, volunteers just call whenever they can, it's manual, not using the online Bernie Dialer setup.
