I think we should start writing the superdelegates

Here's the list:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Democratic_Party_superdelegates,_2016

Obviously we need to work on voter registration and GOTV but I'm concerned that even if Sanders gets the majority of pledged delegates that the superdelegates will tip things to Clinton.

And I'm pleased to see Joe Biden is still uncommitted.

the popular vote going into the convention. I have a big problem with the superdelegates going against the will of the people. If HRC is ahead in pledged delegates and the popular vote, so be it. But I do not want our nominee chosen by the party elite.

That being said, Tulsi Gabbard just resigned from the DNC and endorsed Sanders.

We should concentrate on the SDs who may be open to a change. Some of them are so dyed-in-the-wool Clinton ass-kissers that nothing we write would change their minds (like Cuomo). If we concentrate on the persuadable ones en masse, we won't waste energy writing to those who'd rather burn in Hillary Hell.

It appears that he does not listen to me much any more.

And we certainly need to send thank yous and atta boys (and girls) to those who have already committed to Sanders.
