Other than voting, donating to Bernie, and talking to people you know about Bernie's policy positions and history, THE SINGLE GREATEST THING you can do to help his campaign is to WRITE A HARD COPY LETTER to the media protesting their Bernie Blackout and wall to wall Trump coverage! Mention that you will be contacting and boycotting their advertisers if they continue the Bernie blackout and Trump "infomercials". I know people who work in newsrooms, and I am told that one hard copy letter has the weight of 100 emails to a news director. This is, they have added, a huge reason why the media skews to the Right; right wingers mail in letters frequently, the Left never does, so the perception is that only the right wing is dissatisfied with their "reporting". Let us change that notion TODAY!
Please borrow time from posting here and on Facebook TODAY to write letters to FIVE of the organizations listed below. When finished, post the text of your letter and who you contacted to this thread.
ABC News: 147 Columbus Ave. New York, NY 10023
CBS News: 524 W. 57 St. New York, NY 10019
NBC News: 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, N.Y. 10112
MSNBC: One MSNBC Plaza, Secaucus, NJ 07094
CNN: One CNN Center, Atlanta, GA, 30303
New York Times: 620 8th Ave. New York, NY 10018
The Washington Post: 1301 K Street NW, Washington DC 20071

I will stand with Republicans, moderates, Democrats, socialists, ANYONE to get this done.
So stupid we haven't made this a big deal as of yet.

(14,255 posts)because it looks like that is one of the preferred methods of Democratic vote suppression, this year.
Seeing these crowds, there would be no excuse to not have enough ballots or a plan for provisional ballots.

(3,795 posts)One main counter will go up by 1 after each and every voter votes.
Precinct results MUST tie to this number after votes are counted.
I strongly feel like we can devise a system that is much less likely to being compromised with paper ballots as opposed to voting machines. I hope we work to get that done in this country very very soon or we're completely fucked.

(3,649 posts)There's no way 50,000 people showed up to one of his rallies this past week. You can see the pictures for yourself. The largest was *maybe* 15k in Utah, and even that might be stretching it. Of course, that's not to say 15k is nothing, it's certainly noteworthy, but we can't get carried away in our perception of real events.
