Time to be DUers in action: please VOLUNTEER this weekend! This is when your commitment counts!

There is a big need for volunteers through Tuesday, mostly to connect with likely voters.

Even for a couple of hours, any time through Tuesday evening when polls close. We can bring out more voters and make a meaningful difference, believe it!
You, yes you, can make a difference.

Even if you are home-bound you can phone using the campaign's easy and kind of fun auto-dialer.
Even if you only can spare an hour or two you can phonebank or canvass voters in your area.
Even if you don't like talking to people you can do data entry.
Even if you have no idea how to canvass or phonebank or do data entry.

And if you are able to take part of the day off Tuesday, it is super critical to contact likely voters to remind them to vote, or to be at polling places to protect the vote. You can even just hang out at a local college to remind folks to vote. Contact your local campaign office if you can work on Election Day so they can let you know where the need is greatest.
If you are an attorney, there's a serious need for you in high-voter turnout locations, you need to be trained (there's a video training available) and registered in advance for this, so please contact your local campaign office.

It is tough for me, I know, to get off DU in my spare time, but THIS IS THE TIME
and you and I are the only ones that matter when it comes to what can be done to get Bernie the delegates he needs.

Please, please keep the faith and step up to join the "we" in his "we can do this together"...

Just go to his website under "events" or hit his local campaign office if there's one nearby.

NOW is the time that matters.

DUers for Bernie! Let's roll!

(Please keep kicked through Tuesday)

so am doing it tomorrow with my son. He's an old hand at cold call sales-that's how he makes a living. I'll give a report tomorrow, which is when we'll need some positive news coming in anyway.

I must have been calling off of an already heavily mined list, because I had only 11 actual connections! With 3 of those the voter had moved, 1 voter was in poor health, 1 was a Spanish speaker and hung up, 2 weren't home, 2 were undecided, 1 was for Trump, and 1 was "absolutely not" for Sanders.

I hope I get a better set of numbers today.

16. It went pretty well. I ended up covering most of the territory single-handed....

......my partner felt she had to leave early (I never found out why).

I did get to almost every house in the 'turf.' I got a lot of 'not at home' addresses; it was a beautiful day in KC, so I guess people were out at the park or the golf course.

in Alabama! Phone banked for the 1st time last weekend.

I firmly believe we as a nation have the majority on our side and it's just about getting people to vote.

Bernie elected the 45th President of the United States - we will see it done!!
