Sure am hoping that Bernie can pull off the upset down in Arizona (land of my forefathers) today, and great news on the Superdelegate with integrity!

May I also suggest to all fellow Bernie Washington State caucusers to send our Reps (Governor, Senators, Congressmen) an e-mail this week urging them that if WA goes big-time Bernie on Saturday, would they consider to like actually represent their constituents and switch their Superdelegate vote to Sanders already !? Y'know ... if they want our support this November, maybe start representing our wishes ... NOW ?!

It'll be pretty shameful if the voters of the state go BIG for Bernie this weekend, and yet ALL of our "Super"delegates continue to claim their vote is going to Hillary regardless. If they want my vote in the general, then they need to start reflecting what we voters are about to tell them on Saturday. As it stands now, they're basically saying their vote is more important than 10,000 of our lowly Washingtonians caususers. Jim McDermott's support of Hillary (despite what Seattle is about to say) is the saddest of them all. Hopefully, with our urging, he and a few more "Supers" will do the right thing within the week.
