Bernie must stay in all the way to the convention, either way

This will give us an accurate number of how many millions of supporters the Revolution has at convention time.

It also will reveal state, county and precinct numbers for all 50 states. Very important for focusing in which areas the numbers of our progressive voters are strongest. Match candidates with our base and we are on our way.

We haven't had this vital info for years since establishment RW Dems have dominated almost all primaries. Thank God we've had a real progressive candidate like Bernie to organize and expose our true numbers.

and register our support.

If he does not prevail over the Hillary machine now, the establishment will not hold the next wave, and it is coming, believe me it is coming. Even if Hillary wins the GE, the midterms could see a wave of progressive candidates. If Hillary loses to a republican, the midterms will be a progressive tsunami.

he should his mobilize his network of supporters and donors to help progressives in Congressional races and state races as well as to keep Hillary's feet to the fire on the issues that matter.
