BerniePB is at only 12,300/70,000 calls. The sense of complacency since winning Michigan is going to be the end of us if we don't get back to work ASAP self.SandersForPresident

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not think that we have it easier for winning Michigan.

The Clinton machine is in full swing, the SuperPACs they were saving for the general are lining their campaign's pockets with MILLIONS and they are already in a firm lead in all of the upcoming states.

We're also heading into closed or semi-closed/open primaries, so we WONT have the advantage of independent votes as strongly as previously.

We are fighting an uphill battle that is a lot harder to win than Michigan was. If you aren't doing all you can to help, please start now. Think of all Bernie has done for you, we collectively owe him this.

Edit: 14,550/70,000. 15 Calls/Minute now. Calls per minute are STILL a small fraction of what they were for Michigan and yet there are 4-5 times as many delegates up for grabs.

It would take 62 Hours to reach our goal if we continue consistently at this rate. We won't however because of sleeping/work hours. If we don't ramp up our phone banking we won't even come close to our goal before 15th March.

1. I got a notice locally, and would do it...

...but the details say that you also need a laptop or ipad along with your phone. Why is that, I wonder?

2. I bet it's so that you have voter and election information in front of you to help guide

your calls.

[grasswire]

3. oh probably

but it seems more complicated for many people than just printing out the info.

4. I think that if you go into a local Bernie 2016 volunteer center

they'll be able to give you a printed list. It might be worth contacting them to ask.

5. It's not hard once you get started

It's just a website you log into.

Then the program calls you with each call instead of you having to dial out. This is nice too because your phone number isn't showing up on random people's caller ID's.

There is a 10 minute video there to help get started and another short video for GOTV calls.

I was skeptical at first too but it's not bad.

7. cool!

I'm going to try that tomorrow.

[grasswire]

8. yeah, but those like me with a pc and no iphone...

just can't do it the way this particular session is set up.

No biggie.

9. Any old phone will work...

There's a ten minute video...

Right no big deal though. If you have a local office they might be able to print you some sheets.

6. I'm going to a "Barnstorm" on Sunday near me but

I do want to phone bank before then so I am going to contact someone locally tomorrow and see if I can help out on Saturday.

10. Saturday for sure. I'm booked tomorrow. Thanks for the push though. You are right.

We can't become complacent. We have to keep working. I want to make MI proud of me and WA. They worked their asses off and I want to do the same.

11. Did you cross post this to JPR? nt

[hopemountain]

12. thanks for the push!

will head to the library parking lot tomorrow with my laptop and my cellphone - better reception there than here in the mountains.

[Duckfan]

13. Yes. The laptop has stuff from website to guide you through the calls

From what I saw the other day at calling party(since I don't have laptop), they tweaked the system it so it's easier.

The video gives you info on what to do then links to names and numbers to call. It calls for you. You just wait till someone comes on the line.

14. I called people today! Do not forget to facebank as well! nt
