Yes to this! Time to Transform Bernies’s Campaign Into a Permanent Organization
This is exactly what I am hoping to see happen.

excerpts - did not copy the entire piece, just enough to get the gist of this.
There has rarely been a better opportunity to create and build a permanent, national progressive organization than has been afforded by the Sanders campaign. The historical moment is right, with Bernie winning millions of supporters’ votes for his campaign against a rigged economic and political system, against institutional racism and a broken criminal justice system, and for aggressive action to combat climate change.
There’s a campaign organization on the ground in virtually every state, innumerable cities and towns, and on college campuses that can contribute organizers and form the nucleus of a permanent organization. There are millions of dollars in small dollar campaign contributions, a few million of which could be diverted to organizing a permanent organization. And there are millions of supporters ready, even eager, to support the cause, not just for one election but for the future
rough draft of the plan
• The campaign assigns and/or hires several organizers from its national staff to coordinate the creation of such an organization.
• Simultaneously, it assigns organizers on the national, state, local, and campus level to devote all or part of their time to building such an organization.
• The campaign announces that it will make its email list available for communication with its supporters about the organization and, after the election campaign, to communicate and fundraise on its own.
• The first building block would be an organizing meeting to be held in Philadelphia parallel with the Democratic National Convention.
Committing resources during the campaign to start building a permanent organization would give substance to his call for a political revolution.
We’re at an historical turning point: It may be years until there is again a mass mobilization of millions of potential supporters, tens of thousands of volunteers, hundreds of staff, millions of dollars in resources, and a YUGE email list.
Bernie and the Sanders campaign can seize the moment to start now using its massive resources to begin institutionalizing the political revolution he’s calling for.
Or the movement he helped energize could dissolve after the election, leaving his insurgent campaign as an historical footnote like the insurgent campaigns of Gary Hart or Howard Dean.
Which is it going to be?

Have been wondering how we keep the Bernie momentum going. I don't know what to do but I know there are wonderful people who can do this. I mean, look at what TYT has done -- multiple channels and the whole expanded alternative media thing. Some of us can donate. All of us can cheer on the leaders who can do this. Go Bernie and Go Bernie Movement.
than all of those people working together as one.
For example - Just think if there was an email blast to all Bernie's supporters saying today Congress is going to vote on fracking.
This is exactly what is in this bill - blah blah blah
If you are against fracking, please contact your representatives and tell them no & the reasons why, write letters to the editor, etc, etc.
If a million people are against fracking and in one day those people called their representatives, wow!
Millions of voices working together at the same time vs one hundred organizations working on different things.
We are stronger when we stand together. That's just how I look at it. 
In, and the logo needs to be a bird 
Haha - twitter - tweets. How perfect is that?
