Time to send Bernie some more money folks

Last edited Sat Feb 27, 2016, 09:37 PM - Edit history (2)

Bernie is running against more than one person. He is running against the media, corporations, MIC and Wall Street. Never mind the smear tactics and false accusations. This is not over and we need to stand by Bernie as he has stood by the working people all of his life. The Bern will continue on.

South Carolina Democratic Primary

Bernie Sanders just lost South Carolina. And he's on a plane with no internet access.

Bernie Sanders just lost the South Carolina primary — which seems to be pretty much what he expected.

But don't expect an on-site concession speech. In fact, if he stuck with his itinerary, the senator from Vermont is presently on a plane with no internet access to tell him the results.

Sanders' destination is Minnesota, a Super Tuesday caucus state where limited polling puts Hillary Clinton ahead, but the data is so minimal that FiveThirtyEight favors Sanders for the win. Bonnie Kristian

Sat Feb 27, 2016, 09:17 PM
Feb 2016

you do not incur any phone charges, the caller ID sees the local campaign office number and not your number.

The numbers are dialed for you from the system which calls you and then displays the next answered call on your computer. You just need to follow the script. You can see the sample script of the state you are calling when you register to call, there is another button to press before actually speaking to people, so give it a try!

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

Feel free to pm me with questions, although not an expert, we can all make a difference.

Donate AND 'dial.'

Tomorrow is an important day!

Sat Feb 27, 2016, 09:17 PM
Feb 2016

Maybe it's that Bernie is a European-type socialist and people don't want that. Maybe it's that his policy proposals are too far fetched for too many people. Maybe it's that Hillary is better known, more qualified, and has a better groundgame.

Bernie is a very good person who cares about people. I share his general goals, but his proposals for achieving them are too much of a leap, and he is too vague about how he will actually achieve them.

After Tuesday Hillary will be so far ahead he won't be able to catch up. It is OVER.

The Democratic Party has slowly left us and what we have remaining is Republican-lite. Bernie is an actual Democrat and those of you bashing him and his supporters are guaranteeing a Republican gets into office. That includes Madam Corporate. What kind of democrat lobbies to get trade deals done that only crush our country? What kind of democrat chooses prison over education? What kind of democrat does not recognize that love is not only allowed when between men and women? What kind of democrat doesn't promise to strengthen and expand social security? What kind of democrat chooses war over diplomacy? I could go on, but I think it is obvious what we have to do. Fight on everyone. We can't let them silence us.

136. Getting in the habit after every contest win or lose

It's easy when you have a chance to vote for a person with the message, the principles, and the integrity over a career that demonstrates the change the country desperately needs.

It's a pleasure to give what we can to help make that happen.

143. I just sent $100 to Bernie and I hate ActBlue almost as much as I hate
Sat Feb 27, 2016, 10:53 PM
Feb 2016

Corporate candidates.

I've been using ActBlue all along and have had questions about them. This time they trapped me in a webpage or popup that I could get out of only by closing my browser, and they did it twice. The first time was when they recognized my email address and popped up a little "Express Pay" tag which I foolishly clicked on only to find myself trapped on a page with darkened background and blurred, inaccessible tabs, no "close window," so the only way out was closing the browser. The second time had something to do with my refusing to give ActBlue a tip (by then I was too rattled to focus on details).

I hate them. I've been giving monthly amounts to Bernie in two installments since last June and for the longest time one of them showed up on my credit card notification as "ACTBLUE*DONATETODEMS" while the other showed up as ""ACTBLUE*BERNIE.SANDERS."

Okay, I just got a payment alert that says I donated tonight to "PAYPAL *ACTBLUE" Why doesn't it say "Bernie Sanders?"

How am I to know this money is going to Bernie's campaign? What the hell is ActBlue doing? I don't trust them anymore.

I would puke if any of my money went to either the DNC or that other candidate to whom I would never give a cent under any circumstance. Am pretty sure I've saved all the credit card alerts. Guess I'll contact the campaign and see how much money they've received from me.

If you're not already dead yet.

The pointing is advice from a media relations consultant. It's intent is to make it look like she actually knows people in the crowd.

Is that nauseating or what?

For a little fun, Google image "Bernie pointing." You will get a totally different experience of pointing.

Is there anything about HRC that isn't scripted?

You know, I could tolerate a bit of the usual "politician doing what a politician does" kind of thing if it wasn't so night and day when I compare her record vs Sanders on the actual issues. It seems that issues often get lost in all the rhetoric but I just don't see what the HRC supporters are looking at when they are lined up side by side.

Let's not let SC throw us off our Path to The Revolution! We all knew that was not a State that Bernie could win and that his strength is in the follow to Super Tuesday.

Voting tallies showed that Democratic vote was almost half of the Repub vote a week ago for Trump. Dems didn't bother to vote or the state is just all Repub, at this time. You can't make a Southern Repub vote Dem in the hard core South, it seems.

Dems: 369,240,000 Votes VS. Republicans 737,917 votes

I'd like to get some yard signs, but I live on a very quiet side street. I gave a pen to one of the aides at work who's going to LPN school. His teacher asked if he was a Bernie supporter and where he got the pen. She's for Bernie, so I'm hoping she went to the site and bought some stuff, too. This is how we have to do it, one voter at a time....

Phonebanking for super tuesday the next few days. Volunteering to carpool people to the voting booths. The MSM and powers that be want to dictate the narrative, but we're almost through the south, then we enter Bernie country.

This Land Is Your Land
Words and Music by Woody Guthrie

This land is your land This land is my land
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and Me.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway:
I saw below me that golden valley:
This land was made for you and me.

I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me.

When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.

As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.

In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?

Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.

is coming true. On the thread below I told the tale of a WalMart family member donating over $353,000 to HRC. But Post-S. Carolina, based on reaction here, donations from Bernie are pouring in. Huzzah!

is the amount donated as a response to this thread by DUers who specified the dollar amount they kicked in. Many (most?) others stated they donated without mentioning amount, but it's gotta be over $1,000. And we are only one small segment of Bernie supporters. WELL DONE!

There's a preset for that amount on the donation link.

I would love to know what the haul will be in the 24 hours since S.C.! It seems Sanders supporters donate whenever there is bad news or good! We beat Clinton in January fundraising; think we will in February?
