No, I won't attend a Bernie debate-watch party on the 15th in Somerville.

What I really hate is getting a text on my cell phone, addressing me by my first name, like we're friends. I know other candidates do it. I guess my info is out there.

....and signed up for Sanders' phone app, you're liable to get stuff like that.

"Volunteer for Bernie by talking to your friends and community"

https://app.berniesanders.com/

By "talking to your friends and community" they mean "use the app to contact EVERYONE you've ever run across since you got your phone"!!!

PS - other candidates do it ONLY if people sign up directly with their campaigns to get such messages, not through others who sign up.
