Bernie folks: Please register for early voting if possible, and

check your state election laws and processes early, to ensure that no "new and improved" dirty tricks have been added to deceive you, especially if you live in a red state.

We have a major presidential election pending. 34 US Senate seats, and all 435 seats in the US House, are up for grabs this election.

This is prime time for the anti-democracy crowd to pull dirty tricks. Even if you live in a blue state, remember that even the so called "Democrats" among the the powers that be may be hostile to Bernie and democracy.

Just look at what Debbie "Dirty Deeds" Wasserman Schulz and the DNC are already doing to prevent democracy on the national level by putting off and limiting debates.

you vote in the comfort of your home, then drop it in the mail. Of course there are deadlines. If you forget to mail your absentee ballot you can still go to the elections office on the day of the election and turn it in. You can also vote at the elections office a few days in advance in Fresno county.

absentee ballot and vote there instead. Just a clarification for those that may be put off by the thought of having to go to the elections office. I've been an absentee voter for over ten years and also worked the polls so I've been trained in handling absentee ballots.

Not only is the vote for President...but for all those other seats too!

GOTV!

this may *seem* insignificant, but it's not. The MSM isn't talking about Bernie, so to prove to the general public that he has considerable support they need to see it. EVERY. DAY.
