Let's elect a Brand New Congress that works for all.

America needs an honest, accountable Congress to enact Bernie's program. But trying to win each Congressional seat one-by-one is impossible. So let's run one campaign to replace Congress all at once (except those already on board) that whips up the same enthusiasm, volunteerism and money as Bernie's presidential campaign.
We're building on the tools, tactics and networks that we developed together on Bernie's campaign. But to pull this off, the volunteer movement will have to wield more power and resources than on any campaign before. This means volunteers on the ground will run their own offices and voter contact operations, and will have access to all necessary tools and materials from the start. Get ready for the most beautiful campaign ever.

The deadline to get on the ballot is past for our August primary for congressional districts.
I doubt if a progressive is one the eighth congressional district ballot already. I'll look later.

People would rather rage about whether they got a hide or complain
about GD-P or Hillary. Totally nonproductive as afar as I'm concerned.
