C'mon, Democratic Party----Nominate Bernie Sanders, and CHANGE MY LIFE [View all]

Inj past elections, I have given $$ to campaigns, signed petitions and voted.

But if Bernie Sanders is nominated for president, I make this vow:

****I will give 10-times the money I have given in past elections, to the Sanders campaign.
****I will join phone banks and make weeks worth of phone calls to voters around the country.
****I will walk the streets, knock on many doors, and talk to many people about the importance of voting for Bernie
Sanders.
****I will go to rallies, and make my voice heard, in support of the Sanders campaign.
****I will carry placards, put up posters, and distribute buttons and bumper-stickers in support of the Sanders
campaign.
****I will monitor a local polling place, to ensure that voter intimidation/disqualification against the Sanders
campaign, is NOT being done.
****I will write letters to my local newspapers and media in support of the Sanders campaign.

And...
I will regain my personal sense of respect and regard for The Democratic Party, which I have steadily lost much of,
since the "3rd-way"-dominated Clinton years.

C'mon, Democratic Party------DO IT!!!!

Nominate Bernie, or be all but dead to me, forever-more.

Who else is with me on this?

and yet....he is NOT one! VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #23

If he could show mass-support, that can be easily remedied nikto Feb 2015 #86
