I am officially retired! Trying to find a local Bernie for Pres group to get involved with, ideas?

[peacebird]

I signed up on his website the day he announced. How can I find, or officially start if needed, a local Sanders for Pres group? I contacted my local Dem party about it but haven't heard back.

1. He's going to announce stuff sometime this month

His website will expand. I forget the exact date

2. I think it is May 26

By the way, did you ask your local Dem party if they are supporting Bernie or HRC?

6. Most Dem parties will not endorse a candidate for the primaries

Our philosophy has always been anybody that wants to run is welcome to do so.

7. So the local and national Dem parties

sit on the sidelines during presidential and Congressional primary races?

There are no Blue Dog DNC endorsed candidates?

3. Check with Progressive Democrats of America.

8. By the end of the cycle it isn't unusual to run out of $ so they borrow

And try to raise $ 24/7/365.

Quick response and a growing grass-roots movement. We need to get the word out, and social media is an effective way. Between your FB friends and my FB friends, their friends,etc., all supporters of Bernie, I am sure, we can build name recognition and a solid grasp of the issues. Aloha!

10. First get a pad and paper as well as a pen. Then research Bernie's positions. Make a handout

With Bernie's statements/positions/legislation offered.

When you meet a new person ask them;
"Are you 18 years old?"
"Are you registered to vote?"
"Have you heard of Bernie Sanders?"
Give them your handout.
Say can I get your name and number to check if we have your support?

Start collecting names of voters who will support Bernie.

11. Try contacting Bernie's campaign with this info:

Bernie 2016
PO Box 905
Burlington VT 05402 United States
(855) 4-BERNIE

It was on his website before they took most of it down to await his formal announcement.

Congrats on your retirement!

12. Thank you, will do so!
