DNC is using the NV lies for "rational" to reject fair treatment of Sanders at Philly Convention

It is the only explanation for them to lie to our faces when video evidence of what transpired in Nevada is easy to find.

NO Chairs were thrown.
Barbara Boxer (relative by daughter's marriage to Hillary) did not feel threatened for her safety when she left, in fact video shows she was coaxing Sanders supporters to become angrier by blowing them kisses and mocking them.
Rules were clearly violated
Convention was clearly scheduled during graduation day for colleges to ensure as many Sanders delegates as possible could not make it.

If they think they can block the Sanders movement at the convention they better expect protests and riots. I'm thinking of travelling to the convention to protest it and show support for Sanders too.

Something is happening tomorrow...

I was invited to a bernstorm here in Atlanta.

Join other local volunteers and grassroots organizers on April 20th as a representative from the national organizing staff, Nate Ruby, comes to Georgia for a series of special organizing events.

We will discuss how we can rapidly grow our movement in the next several weeks. We will also be discussing local volunteer activities to help the primary states.

This will be a great opportunity to hear what's going on nationally and locally with the campaign, as well as a chance to meet other Bernie supporters from your community. Thank you for all that you've contributed and all the hard work that you're about to do!

Why are the Hillary supporters sore winners?

They go around kicking old posts mocking people... It is disgusting behavior.

#1 searched issue in New York for Clinton is Fracking according to Google Trends

https://www.google.com/trends/story/US_cu_QyZ6IVEBAABohM_en

That doesn't seem like a good sign. That is a bad area for her highness.

For Sanders his national issues matches his issues locally in New York. Clinton doesn't have fracking in her national issues top 5 list.

Sanders Endorsed by Indiana's Carrier Corp Workers Union

http://www.wthr.com/story/31763717/sanders-endorsed-by-carrier-corp-workers-union

Bernie Sanders' campaign announced Tuesday the Vermont senator had been endorsed by the union representing Carrier Corporation.
Around 1,400 jobs are expected to be lost from United Steelworkers Local 1999 because of Carrier's decision to outsource the positions to Mexico.
“Bernie Sanders for decades has fought against the kinds of disastrous trade deals that are now allowing Carrier to ship over a thousand good-paying Indiana jobs to Mexico,” said Local 1999 president Chuck Jones. “Bernie Sanders is the only candidate running for president who will do something to stop this kind of corporate greed if he is elected – because he’s been fighting against it for years. We will be doing everything we can to help him win the primary here in Indiana on May 3.”
Sanders previously denounced the decision by Carrier’s parent company, United Technologies, to move operations to Mexico.

Why is it fair for taxpayers to fund and the state to run party nominations and exclude Indies?

Independents pay their taxes just like Democrats and Republicans. Why is it fair that an independent's taxpayer money is going to fund the nomination elections and the state is running them, but independents cannot exercise their right to vote?

Bernie says we need 1 million phonebank calls today!

We need to do that and more, word is that Bernie is losing by single digits. If we make a valiant push on the phones it is possible we can squeak out a win!
