I briefly phone banked Oregon just now

Maybe the list I got was salted/sweetened/binned but the response was amazing. I phone banked New York, previously, and the difference is night and day. I took the time to thank them all, and to point out how Oregon was looking likely to amaze the country with its turnout for Sanders.

It was pretty uplifting to do. Lol, and now I'll donate five bucks to compensate for my taking a break.

I voted for Bernie by mail here in Oregon last week. No waiting in lines as it is ALL vote by mail here.

Every person I called took the time to converse. Well, one person politely let me know they weren't interested in the Democratic primary, but even the one Clinton supporter I contacted was somewhat chatty.
