Has your state selected delegates for Bernie (To go to the National Convention)?

If not, think about volunteering yourself as a delegate; find out where the meetings to select delegates will be held and go. We need every Bernie supporter possible at the convention, if we're going to have any say in forming a platform.

HRC may sound like she's shifted to the left in the primaries; but, without opposition, she will snap waaayyyy back to center-right, and try to ruthlessly crush Bernie's Political Revolution.

I did sign up to be a delegate; but, I wasn't selected as a delegate or even an alternate. I will still participate in every Democratic Party function where I can be a voice for change.

They have chosen, but I still need to go to my 3 caucus tomorrow. I wanted to go to Philly, but so did over 50 other Bernie supporters at the 2nd caucus. I am going in for the long haul, if I can.

state convention. I cannot afford to go to Philly. In fact my children and grandchildren are paying for me to go to the state.

At our caucus there were not enough people to fill the delegate slots so all of us became delegates.

What happens when we get to the next level and there still are not enough people to choose from? Is there a way that delegates can be stolen?
