OPOL: Urgent email from Bernie

Diary from OPOL, posted at TOS:
Listen up, muchachos! We’ve got work to do! Not everybody can do everything but do what you can. This missive is full of ways to help.

Dear Randall,

We’re just five days out from the New York primary. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment, so we’re setting a huge and ambitious goal that could be the difference between victory and defeat: calling two million voters over the weekend.

To reach our goal, we need 15,000 of you to sign up to call New York voters for at least an hour this Saturday or Sunday.

48 hours. 15,000 volunteers. Two million calls. Are you in?

YES, I'LL HELP BERNIE WIN NEW YORK

If we reach 15,000 callers between Saturday and Sunday, we estimate we’ll make more than a million calls a day, which is yuuuuge. In fact, as far as we can tell, this could be the biggest virtual phonebank ever!

We’ll be honest: this is such an ambitious goal that we might not reach it. But this campaign is, after all, about doing big things. And if enough of us get on the phones this weekend, Tuesday could deliver yet another historic upset victory for Bernie.

Sign up to call New York.

If you’ve never made phone calls to voters before, don’t worry. It’s easy. All you need is a computer or a tablet and a phone. There’s a simple script for you to follow, and there are volunteers standing by on livechat to help if you get stuck. You can call on your own from anywhere, or click here to find a phonebank event with other Bernie supporters near you.

Right now, in lower Manhattan, the Wall Street bankers, corporate media types, and Democratic party establishment figures are hoping you’ll sit this fight out. They know that a win in New York would put us in a strong position to win the nomination – and threaten the entire rigged system that benefits them personally.

Let’s show them that we too know how high the stakes are – by setting a historic record right before Tuesday’s vote. Sign up to call New York.

In solidarity,

Team Bernie

OPOL's beautiful picture says it all

We are still 10 points down… but the ents — fractivists, Occupy Wall Street, NY unions — are marching to Isengard to free Gandalf. Let's join them!

The establishment is powerful. If we want to change this world, we have to unite first. El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido.

Early voting is now up and running in Maryland: Vote MDBerners!

The early voting period in Maryland runs April 14th through the 21st, with Primary Day scheduled for April 26th. I live in Montgomery County, where there are ten early voting centers throughout, each open from 10 am to 8 pm. I voted yesterday on the way home from work, and it was a breeze. We are using paper ballots and scanner machines this time around; so I happily filled in the circles by Bernie's name and the names of his delegates. No more Diebold computers (yeah!) to eat the votes.One can also register to vote at the early voting centers by providing a driver's license or other proof of residence and vote then, too. It's great to live in a state that doesn't try to disenfranchise people. For any other MDBerners who need it, information on locations, wait times, driving directions, and public transportation is available at http://www.777vote.org.

That leaves this weekend free to phonebank New York!

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
