March 2 OP in BSG by Ken Burch:

>So...what do we do to improve AA vote share from here on out?

We need to be able to demonstrate at least some credibility among AA voters(and other POC)votes in states like California and New York.

Obviously, even allowing for the effectiveness of the slander campaign about Bernie and race, there are things we could change.

What thoughts does anybody here have about that?

4. Get his surrogates out more, on local radio, anything. I would love to see a TV ad or video focusing on notable supporters of all backgrounds- Harry Belafonte, Nina Turner, Mark Ruffalo, Spike Lee, Killer Mike and others. Now is the time. So far on late night Seth Meyers has treated Bernie well, Jimmy Kimmel interviewed Bill Maher a bit ago who was very favorable.

If he asked for more money for it i would donate extra.

Bernie's platform and history is one to be proud of.

More awareness can only help him in various African American communities around the country.

He's not getting anywhere near fair coverage on news networks, so he's gotta run ads to get the good word out.

Have to go over the heads of the Congressional Black Caucus, many of which are bought and paid for like most politicians, and who like to try to act as gatekeeper to African American voters.

The CBC's participation in the smear of Bernie's civil rights background before South Carolina, led by John Lewis, was a disgrace.

Some ads could also feature images etc. of his participation in the 1960s Chicago protests.
