So, we're running into a brick wall locally [View all]

trying to get the local Democratic Party Headquarters to feature anything Bernie. Last time I was there there were TONS of stuff for Hillary and absolutely nothing for any of the other candidates.

So, right after our July 6, Fresno for Bernie Steering committee meeting several people, including myself, submitted the dates for the upcoming Fresno for Bernie Steering Committee meetings as well as the Fresno For Bernie meetings (all are invited) to be added to the calendar. We're still waiting. There seems to be some sandbagging going on at the Democratic Party Headquarters when it comes to anything other than Hillary.

I mean, we're going full-steam-ahead regardless but I was just wondering if anyone else is running into this problem with their local Democratic Party organization? I'm just curious.

The Democratic Party only wants to use Bernie for fund-raising purposes, IMO. djean111 Jul 2015 #4

Yes, and to paint the party as populist. HRC is a banker- and establishment-friendly insider. Doctor_J Jul 2015 #6

Yes, that's my observation in Fl and TB region. HooptieWagon Jul 2015 #13

Set up your own table on the sidewalk outside. It's city property, yes? n/t jtuck004 Jul 2015 #7

Actually, it's a strip mall. Le Taz Hot Jul 2015 #8

That is what I was going to suggest. If this continues try to set up a Democratic Headquarters for jwirr Jul 2015 #12

Up here in Northern CA we have two Democratic Clubs fed-up Jul 2015 #9

I think the PDA (supporting Bernie) already did that. Le Taz Hot Jul 2015 #10

I think those local headquarters depend on candidates MineralMan Jul 2015 #18

Well, all of us being experienced campaigners, of course, Le Taz Hot Jul 2015 #19
