Now is the time to support...
...the people who are delegates elected with our votes and those, like Steven D, who will attend the Peoples Convention. The Clinton campaign would like nothing better than for them to abstain from attending due to financial or heartbreak issues.
I had recently made two donations to the Peoples Convention support and had also donated to one AZ Bernie delegate who contacted me to support his efforts to get to the convention. He's a retired history teacher and teachers here are woefully underpaid.. Last night and today I donated to three additional AZ delegates needing support after reading a bit about them on the plea page. One is a young Latina firebrand, one a woman of color and the third a young public defender and her work colleague and fiance in nearby Flagstaff. We NEED them to be there. Then I also supported a small family farmer from Clear Lake IA to honor my Dad (who grew up near there )and the lovely summer days I spent at the lake in my own childhood. Likewise I selected a PA delegate to honor my mother. Please consider support of any size to make sure our voices are there to protest and keep the pressure on.
After the coronation ceremonies are complete I will reregister Green...don't care about the August primaries here in AZ.
* Thank you so much for your service in opening our eye so they can never again shut, Bernie, and ...GO JILL! *

What effect does Bernie's endorsement have on them?
Can they say fuck it?

I think Bern's pledged delegates still vote for him. He said at
the NH thing today something about "1900 delegates answering the roll call" at the convention, reflecting how many people voted for him.
Only if by some miracle most of the supers vote for him so neither received the nomination on the first ballot, then I think the delegates are released and can vote for whoever they want. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brokered_convention

Those whom I have supported still are eager to attend
I'm sure each has some specific reason(s) to do so. They, like us, are the 99% and I choose to support them as a sign of what can happen in and out of the party in the future. We especially need young future leaders to have the experience either inside the convention as a delegate or outside at the Arch St Meeting House and in the streets at the Peoples Convention. I wish them all well, and only wish I could be there at the Peoples Convention myself.
