Do you Want Bernie to Win - PLEASE START MAKING CALLS ASAP! It's so EASY!

Dear Fellow Bernie Supporters!!!

We LOVE this man don’t we? This ethical fighter for what’s right! This man, this amazing man who is working night and day to fight for all of us.

Please, please work hard for HIM – this time is so critical.

It is likely the ONLY TIME IN OUR LIFETIME – that we will be able to elect a person with more integrity in his right hand, than all of Congress put together.

Please start making the phone calls NOW – every night – it is so easy and it’s the only way we are going to win this fight.

Here’s is the link with all information:

https://go.berniesanders.com/page/content/march22/

All you need is a computer and a phone – the dialing window will make the calls for you. Spend a couple hours a night. The calls are only made to registered Democrats. We are only asking if we can count on their support for Bernie with their vote. After making the call, you classify what the response is by choosing a simple category – like ‘Strong for Bernie”, “Not Home”, “Moved”…. And so on. After a few calls you’ll have the hang of it. That is it – but it provides Bernie supporters on the ground in those states so much information.

Start calling ARIZONA folks now! THE ONLY WAY TO WIN THIS THING NOW IS TO FIGHT AS HARD AS BERNIE!

Stop watching TV – Stop posting on DU – and Start dialing for Bernie with everything you have and don’t stop until we call everyone in the next voting states.

Don’t just FEEL THE BERN ------- BE THE BERN!!!

Over the last 30 or so years.
It's very painless.
Mostly, you will get answering machines.
When you do get a live person, they are generally nice to you since you are calling registered Dems only.
Happy Dialing!

Maybe they feel like talking, I've had a few awesome conversations with a few I've called. I've made a bunch of donations, but it sure feels awesome to support him by phone banking.

The dailing program only connects yto live people that answer. Very little downtime (10 secs or less usually) for you to wait between calls, I connected with about 100 people in an hour, some hung up, none were assholes, these are registered Dems. Bernies goal for Arizona is 30,000 calls a day, yesterday we only hit 9,000 or so. Please help!

I had about 8 people say they were supporting Bernie, and two for Hillary. These calls aren't meant to convince people, argue with people, only to record supporters, non voters, it's basically just seeing if the person will vote for Bernie, if they say yes, we also ask if they are interested in volunteering. Then we record it by clicking a box. If they say anything else we thank them and move on. Super simple.

anything from donated Subway and bags of chips, to homemade cookies or spaghetti. Even pizza gets devoured.

Offer to deliver and put up yard signs.

Data entry! Always needed to get the info in for future canvassing.

Clean the office.

There's so much to do. Don't be shy, nows the time...
