I was on a conference call for Bernie last night with 400 people. Please be on the next one!

Or just get involved in grassroots activities for Bernie! We are getting organized all over America!

The official campaign is deluged with volunteers, so I have chosen to work with a longstanding grassroots organization which has established "We Want Bernie." I was just on a conference call last night of about 400 people nationwide and it was extremely exciting. They have already held dozens of house parties/meetups all over the nation, representing people of every color and walk of life. They are now ramping up due to the building excitement nationally. If you want to check it out, you can go to:

http://wewantbernie.nationbuilder.com/

They can give you national support and expertise to get you connected and/or started in your own community. Their responsiveness is excellent in my experience so far.

If you have worked in the grassroots before, you know how fulfilling it is. If not, it is easier than you think and likely to be one of the most fulfilling and exciting things you will ever do.

Please PM me. We need you and you will love us!

I have yet to go to an in-person Bernie Meetup. Is this your first one?

They were just a handful of people who decided to set up a table and print out their own Bernie info and sign up volunteers.

Another DUer (that I know of, anyway) is going to the meet up, too.

Where they have lots of cool ideas like

New Idea: What if we make 50 videos for Bernie, one for each state, about how he would improve the state?

I just got home and was going to PM you tonight. I am going to check them out. This is some cool stuff you're talking about. I hope the rest of the Bernie group gets in on it. A girlfriend of mine is also interested so I will let her know.
