(1,163 posts)Put a dollar in the kitty for Bernie every time Hillary says "I", "me", or "my".
Take a dollar out whenever Bernie says any of these same words.
Finally, donate whatever's in the pot to Bernie Sanders.

(91 posts)Hey, I am new to this Forum. I hope that this is an appropriate use of this Thread. I am a Bernie Sanders Supporter and I am trying to spread a message to ensure that Bernie's Political Revolution continues past the nomination and presidential election. Here is my message. It is a call to action for Sanders Supporters everywhere-
Sanders Political Revolution
--(Please forward this Message to as many Friends and Allies of Bernies that you can.)-
The Sanders Campaign for the Democratic Nomination for the Presidency has mobilized a new kind of Political Action in America. Bernie calls it a Political Revolution. As Sanders Supporters, we are all working towards his nomination and ultimately winning the White House.
With that said, there is no reason that the Sanders Political Revolution needs to end once the nomination process and the election is complete. We need to keep moving these Values and Political Goals forward by electing as many Sanders Supporters to political office as is possible.
Bernie has shown that there is a vital and new Progressive presence in America amongst Democrats and Independents. We might call ourselves Sanders Democrats, a movement of people inspired by Bernies political philosophy, his progressivism, and his policy positions.
The Sanders Political Movement can and should go beyond Bernies candidacy. We need a new cadre of Politicians in America that agree with Bernies Values and Policies and who will work to realize them in the Political System by running for office.
We need Citizens who are willing to throw their hats in the ring to further those Values and Policies. The rest of the Movement needs to seek out and support those willing to run for office and move our Values and Policies forward.
Even if Bernie is elected to the Presidency, it is incumbent on us all to work to support his Goals and push his Policies through the Political Process.
Bernie needs Allies in Local, State, and Federal Government. We need to seek out qualified Sanders Democrats and Independents to run for office so as to build the Movement into the future.
The Political Movement that Bernie has begun can be more fully realized by organizing on the ground, state by state, across the Nation, to nominate and elect as many Sanders Democrats as is possible, at as many levels of government as is possible.
Tomorrows political leaders are already working today to get Bernie nominated and elected. If you are working for Bernie, or know someone who is, we encourage qualified and motivated Citizens to consider running for office as Sanders Democrats or Independents.
There is no reason for this Progressive Movement and Political Revolution to end with Bernies candidacy or with this election. Senator Sanders has shown us the way forward through his character, integrity, and values.
It is now up to us, Sanders Democrats and their Allies, to pick up the gauntlet and move forward to change America for the better and to create a more Just and Democratic Society.
