Membership is growing by the day! They are all over Twitter. I just discovered them and am now following them.

Bernie has a huge online presence.

I'm finding and following Bernie supporters on Twitter. That helps get the word out to thousands, then tens of thousands of people who haven't yet heard of him.

If you have twitter acct. this is a great way to gain support for him.

GO BERNIE!

Latest polls up to 24%. From 3% in Jan to 24% in May, his message IS being heard and people ARE responding!

dedicated Bernie's hundreds of thousands of volunteers are to make sure we prove them wrong.

And we have, 24% for a virtual unknown in a couple of months and the campaign hasn't even begun yet.

THAT is success!

If you have any Social Media accounts, just keep sending on information about him.

He has been online presence for a long time and now it is paying off for him.

If the Corporate Media won't cover him, it doesn't matter, WE WILL!

People Power! No corporate money needed. We have the power, we just needed the right candidate!

one of them were higher than 15%. I think this one is because he is getting more media attention and so people are getting to know him.

I think that is all he needs, no corporate money, just let the people hear him and there is just no one else who responds to the wishes of the people the way he does.

Saw a comment on twitter today from someone who just heard about him saying 'I really like this guy'.

That is generally the reaction of people who are just introduced to him.

I believe he can do it.

I like seeing all the polls charted together, and single poll is going to be unreliable.

This one is for the New Hampshire primary:

Just wait until he gets more name recognition!

Just yesterday, watching the news, they were talking about the number of candidates in the GOP lineup, and said that the Democrat race only has Hillary......they are still ignoring Bernie. Not for long.

supported, at using the Internet. He had a Q&A session on Reddit this week and received literally thousands of comments, mostly questions, good questions from what I could see and he answered all of them.

He's got twitter accounts, his own and now his campaign. And he is using them, plus many of his supporters are using FB and Twitter and Utube to get people to see and hear him.

I remember when OWS was around and the media were there, but didn't report on them, people were glad. Because they longer they remained silent, the less negative publicity OWS was getting. Meantime, they were all over the internet, as they said, they were their own media.

It was that, flooding the internet with their own news and videos that helped the movement grow, plus it was all good coverage.

In a way I hope the MSM doesn't report too much on him yet. Until he gets going and has a solid base of support and plenty of familiarity with the voters. THEN it will be too late to go negative on him.

I believe the media was sorry that they waited so long to cover OWS because they lost the advantage.

We are all here for Bernie Sanders but lets maintain some integrity while we do it. This post IS NOT to agitate but to educate.

WomenForBernie started before the Women4Bernie group with accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, Ello, and Tumblr. They use the hashtag #WomenForBernie.

Many people have been confused by this duplicity and all that can be done is to politely inform the greater Bernie audience of the difference. Again we are all here to support Bernie Sanders and all support is good support.

If anyone one is interested we can list the URLs to each account.

No matter how you feel about this post, we hope you keep supporting Bernie Sanders and spread the news every chance you can.

other links to people supporting him.

We definitely care here about accuracy so yes, if you would like to post both urls then when we refer to either one, we can be clear.

I can edit this OP to include any links that are needed to make the distinction.

And yes, you are correct, we are all here to help Bernie win. Perhaps a slight change in the title of the later group would help?

Anyhow, thank you for your post

I was going to post the links in the OP to this thread but had a better idea I think.

If you like, I will post a separate OP/Article just about your group with all the links, and some quotes from your comment to explain your group, with all the links of course.

Actually I think that might be better as if I just include them in this thread, the distinction might not be as obvious.

Just so I have the right information, when did your group begin?

The links are awesome! I am now following you on twitter.

The enthusiasm for Bernie is amazing.

The more who get to know him the better and you are doing a fantastic job.

Thank you very much for letting us know about all you are doing. Perhaps people here will spread the word around too on their accounts.

Let me know if this is okay with you and I will put it up in this Group tomorrow.

Little signs the people have read "Bernie for US Senate", but I couldn't find the original source.

Please check out my OP in GD, uses the banner, has some content, all positive.

in Congress. He is one of the few members of Congress who never had to 'evolve' on this issue.

I have seen many tweets regarding his long time support of equal rights, FULL equal rights for the GLBT community, stating that he 'might be the most GBLT supportive member of Congress and the Senate'.

That has always been his position throughout the course of his political career.

I believe any member of the GLBT Community can start such a group on Social Media, FB, Twitter etc.
