I just emailed the Sanders campaign.

Asking them to stay in until the convention and to fight to the end.

And asking them to never give or sell my info to the DNC or Hillary's campaign.

Not saying it'll work, but if a few folks did it they might at least notice.

2. I really don't care if my information moves to the HRC campaign

or the DNC any mailings I get help to support the post office by giving them some business and I have a recycle bin available. Emails are easily blocked or head to the Spam folder. It's not too big a deal.

but that is his decision and I am sure that he will make the best one for himself and his supporters.

7. I feel the same. I think I would say exactly that in the email--that I would love for him to

do that, but, even more, I want him to make the best decision for himself. I would also tell him I will support him as long as he asks me to. However, if you don't wish to email at all, that is certainly valid, too.

6. He made it clear a few days ago that he's taking it to the convention.

He knows that the SDs may want to take a good look at the situation and consider whom they're voting for. If they want a candidate who wins handily over Trump, has high favorables among Democrats, independents and some Republicans, and who is not under threat of indictment, Bernie is the better candidate by far.

9. It's his plan. It's what he wants to do.

I'm sure you understand that Hillary did not win anything yesterday. She is ahead in delegate count but if today's primaries could have played out as they should, her advantage would have shrunk to something much smaller.

Bernie put out a video a few days ago spelling it out.

He knows that if the SDs want Democrats to win in the GE, he would be a far better pick than Hillary.

He wants to take it to the convention and has said so repeatedly.

What we can give him is support and -- very important -- try to get the word out that Hill has not won so that voter turnout will not be so severely affected. The announcement last night was designed for today.

I don't know if you need this, but here it is just in case:

Today is where the rubber hits the road. We should not be silent today.
