NJ Campaign Kickoff with State Chairman John Wisniewski
Please join us on Wednesday at 7pm to kickoff our NJ campaign with State Chairman John Wisniewski. He will fire you up and explain how you can best help the New Jersey effort.
Analilia Mejia of Working Families Alliance will walk us through the delegate process and Hetty Rosenstein of the Communication Workers of America will talk about organizing efforts across the state.
Kevin Keefe of Bernie's Ballot Brigade will give an update on the campaign across the country as primary season rapidly approaches.
We are collecting signatures to put Bernie on the Ballot, so bring your pen. You can also pick up petitions so you can gather them on your own. Bernie needs your help collecting, you are the campaign.
Feel the Bern!

LIVE : Press Awaits Possible Comments from Senator Bernie Sanders After Meeting with President Obama

A hippy song for a political ad? Only Bernie Sanders can pull that off- Alexander Zaitchik
Though born five years before the official start of the Baby Boom in 1946, Sanders, who joined the Counterculture takeover of Vermont, is the first Democratic candidate who can pull off a campaign video backed by Sounds of Silence-era Simon and Garfunkel.
Even if every classic in the Sixties catalogue has been used to sell sneakers and credit cards, those songs still possess a powerful charge one that makes them tricky to ride. How tricky? Anyone remember the national cringe that greeted John Kerrys deployment of CCRs Fortunate Son? Or just play America over a Hillary Clinton campaign montage. It jars, doesnt really work. (Though lately, her campaign might get away with Bridge Over Troubled Waters.)
Want to reverse sky-high inequality? Bernie Sanders is the pragmatic choice
Neither of the Clintons could attempt to harness the sweet, nostalgic searching of a song like America without looking ridiculous. Theres a reason Bills 1992 campaign song was Fleetwood Macs soulless Me Generation anthem Dont Stop. In the light of Bernies America, Hilary looks even more like an establishment figure out of step with her time, feeling entitled to the energy of a generation she doesnt really understand.
