Go to Texas if you can. Call a local office and ask if they need help. If you speak Spanish, absolutely go! If they need help just say you are in another state and want to inquire about accommodations. That's why I'm going to Colorado this Friday. Accommodations were made available for those traveling.

Do it! It can be a fun experience too.

And from what his Bernie's Texas map says, there are several offices around the state.

went to Iowa to do some street work before the caucus.. he loved every minutes of it and made good friends. I know there are random conveys that leave from my state to try to help out else where (I live in KY unfortunately, if it wasn't for all the nature shewie)...

Ill have to start calling around.. Tenn might be a good place to go too

thanks for the suggestion!

He needs every delegate he can get, but its not the make or break that it was in 2008.

I live here in the Houston area. We couldn't even beat Hillary here in '08 - she has the Latina vote. Even stronger now especially in places like San Antonio with Julian Castro leading the march. She will win Texas in the primary, and if she is in the general she will lose it big (which is why this whole primary thing is such a scam). But the good thing is proportional delegates, so that is what we have to protect. He WILL get delegates (Austin, Dallas) so we need to make sure those are represented at the state convention.

Bernie wins - Vermont, Massachusetts, Colorado, Minnesota (Colorado is a good one, that's a swing state - and Chelsea has been there campaigning at the Universities).
