from We Want Bernie national HQ. Of course, that might not be very practical if you already have orders in with the official campaign.

As to local Party establishment resistance, when your numbers get big enough, you might consider a coup. If you have local party elections coming up in the next half year or so, you could simply vote out the establishment and replace them with Bernie people. May not be practical in your area, but I'm sure that will happen in more than one place in the country in the next 6-12 months!

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
