We've had a very nice visit from 'WomenForBernie' to this Group.

Yesterday I posted a thread here in the Bernie Group titled: Women4Bernie on Twitter is on Fire

Women4Bernie is a Twitter account dedicated to working to help get Bernie elected.

However, I did not know at the time I posted that thread about the original WomenForBernie group.

I had been tweeted a link to the other account Women4Berniewhich I used as the title of my OP.

Note the use of the number '4' as opposed to the use of the word 'For' in the two titles.

I was unaware that there were two groups or one twitter account and one group of women working for Bernie.


So, it was very nice of WomenForBernie to visit my thread (which was retweeted on Twitter) to point out the difference between the Twitter account Women4Bernie and their group WomenForBernie And I'm glad they did because they have created so many accounts for Bernie all over Social Media.

At my request, they very kindly provided links to all their Social Media accounts in support of Bernie.

Here is the first post from WomenForBernie from my original thread:

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.

#ReadyToBern #BernEmDown #BeFairToBernie


I asked for some links etc so people would not be confused between both groups and Women For Bernie kindly supplied the links in their second post.

20. Thank you so much for your patient understanding.

The official social media account links for #WomenForBernie are as follows:

Facebook

Twitter

Google+

Pinterest

Tumblr

We are also on Ello and Instagram. Just search #WomenForBernie


Thanks again for this opportunity to set things straight.


They are doing an awesome job working to help get Bernie elected all over the internet.

If you want to click the links, follow them, friend them etc, tweet them, put them on your own FB or other Social Media accounts, that will all help spread the word about Bernie.

I hope they visit us again, meantime I am following them on Twitter and checking in on their other sites whenever I can.

So thanks again to Women For Bernie for helping to clarify that there are two groups, or one group and one Twitter account of women who support Bernie.

I love how they are using so many different Social Media sites.

Eg I use Pinterest a lot for help decorating our relatively new home. These sites have millions of visitors every day.

It's worth while clicking all the links, their sites are so much fun and full of info about Bernie and also good to pass along to others.


Even though there was a little confusion at first, the great thing is how many wonderful people are working hard to help Bernie win! And we got to know them and all that they are doing for Bernie.

Thanks for visiting our Bernie Group, Women For Bernie

I'm sorry about bad feelings between WomenforBernie and Women4Bernie, but the more groups supporting Bernie the better 'cause Bernie's the best! (Come to think of it, "Bernie's the Best!" would make a great campaign button.)
