Phenomenal grass roots website is a valuable tool for Bernie supporters

"The creators of FeelTheBern.org are regular people who individually, and now collectively, are inspired by Bernie Sanders' campaign for presidency of the United States. We span the socioeconomic and political spectrums, and are located across the country — and globe! We came together because we wanted to make clear his record on and plans to address the most important issues affecting our communities, nation, and planet. Bernie has an extensive record in public service, so this project turned into a rather monumental group effort that's mobilized over 125 unpaid volunteers (and counting)."

Drill down on any topic, and the information has been pulled together showing Bernie's position and history on the topic. I'm not aware of any other website, even official ones, that match this (others may be? Please share if so.) I know I'm a newby here, but in my opinion this webpage should be among the pinned items.

www.feelthebern.org

(This website has been shared about 3 times over the past couple months, but the posts haven't got much attention, hence, I've posted it again today.)

Go Bernie!!!

I saw an interview on how it came together from kids wanting to help Bernie out, with their mad skillz!

It is a very easy job to find exactly what you are interested in finding.

Thanks for bringing it back into the consciousness.

him. They have volunteered their exceptional skills to put this all together.

Don't forget to use the Twitter and FB buttons under the OP to spread the word about this site everywhere we can.

We plan to print out strips of paper with: our facebook group name, feelthebern dot org, isidewith dotcom, map.berniesanders dotcom and the facebook name of our student Bernie groups (2 high schools and both colleges) each school already has their own group and facebook page

Many folks already know about Bernie or may not use facebook, if they know about Bernie we don't need to waste one of our glossy flyers. The isidewith site is great to help folks make up their mind and is really popular with younger kids.

I will pass these out while tabling or to random strangers I meet while in line or anywhere else out in public. I am definitely not shy when it comes to all things Bernie!

And I've just got to do a rough draft, are business cards...something like Bernie's logo, the "Bernie 2016" one with "Bernie Sanders for President" on the front. Then on the back side something like "Learn all about Bernie" or "Read About Bernie's Vision of America" and list his website as well as FeelTheBern.org.

I want something small like this for my wallet, backpack and that I can discreetly give out at work.

I always give out the address along with Bernie's site.

I wrote to them asking them to do flyers...they actually said they would so am just waiting. I'm anticipating that if they post some flyers, that they are going to be really good.
