Sorry for cross-posting, but Makahali Overdrive's speech at the reddit Kossacks for Sanders warmed my heart, so I wanted to share it with you:

"PSA: WE ARE GOING TO PHONEBANK NY TODAY!

It's time for us to heavily phone bank NY (or PA). The clock is ticking, like a bomb. We are within striking distance. People are switching sides or deciding, "Yes, I guess I will vote after all." Sanders is going heavy in the state but has to close the deal in NY before heading to Vatican City. He's won seven or eight races in a row -- I can't even remember. He's won for an entire month. Let's not permit NY to cut into that streak. Let's not concede to Clinton NOW, while we are UP.

New Yorkers like winners. We want to pick the guy whose been winning a whole months straight without flinching or faltering. We like competition. Bernie Sanders IS NY.

Sick of meta? Phonebank. Sick of drama? Phonebank. Hillary got you down? Phonebank. Timed out for something asinine? Phonebank. Wish we won by a heavier margin yesterday in Wyoming? New York has 50X the number of delegates Wyoming had. Phonebank. Angry at the Daily Kos? Phonebank. Too busy to phone bank today? Canvass. Not in a state where canvassing matters? Phonebank. Planning to donate instead? Okay, donate. Please!

And then come back and phone bank. Been phone banking every week? Perfect. Please phone bank. Wondering when you can stop phone banking? June 7th. Democracy is interactive. It means people need to talk to each other. Scared of people? Phonebank. Most people are lovely. Unless you want to phone bank "persuasion calls," you are just getting out the vote. For Bernie Sanders. Angry about the war in Iraq still? Phonebank. Angry about the humanitarian crisis in Europe? Phonebank. Feeling pissed off at CNN or MSNBC or the NYT? Phonebank.

You need no special skills! All you need is a burning desire to see Bernie Sanders become President, a phone, and a voice, which does not have to be perfect, well-trained, or anything. If you can make just 20, or 30, or 40 calls today, that will bring us CLOSER TO WINNING NEW YORK.

Otherwise Clinton wins.

Raise your hand, say hello, speak up, if you want us to WIN NEW YORK. Or forever hold your peace! No one can do the work for us but us, and that is why we are going to win this thing; because together, when we reach out, we make that fleeting human contact that Clinton's paid phone banking team cannot replicate. Go off script. Be weird. Stay on script. Be careful. Just make contact. Again, the click is ticking. In a few days, the fruits of our efforts are going to come to fruition, and that is the truth.

The below link only represents a tiny fraction of all calls made, but if you need some inspiration, check this out and realize that these are people who decided to be brave today and to put in their time, people just like you and me. I have 75 four-page papers to grade, and I am going still going to make 30-60 minutes worth of calls today. Please join me. Otherwise, who are we? Why are we here? What are we really doing? This is it. NOW IS THE TIME.

If you phone bank, maybe I will share something of interest? Set your price. And now, to the phones.

And if you are in NY, PA, CT, RI, or NJ, please canvass if at all possible instead. It's significantly better than phone banking.

And if you are, right now, busy in another window with a pressing argument, just tell the person, "You know, that's okay, I have to GO PHONEBANK NOW, so have a good day."

Ask every Sanders' supporter you meet to also please phone bank. Today we have momentum; it's ever fleeting. Capture it now. This is the time we elect Bernie Sanders as POTUS, not in two days and not on the day of the primary either. There is no other time but now."
