Evening all!
We are in need of some people to help us get petitions signed for Bernie to get on the NYS ballot. We need some help in the eastern Bronx to pick up some sigs in Congressional District 14. Thankfully they've gotten to 600, but the rumor is that someone (NOT apparently affiliated with Clinton somewhat surprisingly) is going to challenge those signatures, so getting to 1K there is going to be a must.
The trouble district for the moment is CD 18 (Sean Maloneys district), which comprises of Northeastern Westchester (Yorktown), Putnam, Orange, and Southwestern Dutchess county. Anyone with free time that can travel should gather as many people as possible to trek up to Poughkeepsie, Beacon, Middletown, or even Port Jervis, to get them to the thousand mark. While not having Bernie Delegates on the ballot wouldn't be crippling to the campaign, it would send a bad PR message that all involved want to avoid.
If you can spare some time, please PM me and I will put you in touch with our local coordinator. We are in the midst of organizing rides for this and also field trips to NH to canvas.
The great news is CD16 and CD17 (aka Hillary towns) KICKED ASS petition-wise. We have a great team here!
So if youre in the area and want to get more involved, now is the time!
Thanks!!!!
