White Board

I hadn't seen one of these and I think it might be helpful.
At our event tonight we had a few questions I just cannot ask.
Among them:
1.) Bernie talks a lot about college, but there's little information about his stands in the campaign about job training or support for high schoolers or continuing education outside of or prior to college. This lady was a school teacher and it was very important to her.
2.) Another of our attendees was a biologist and doctor who currently teaches highschool and had questions in regards to NIH funding.

I had no idea how to answer these questions and neither did our moderators, I've scoured his site for information on these both senate and election.
Is a White Board a good idea to help us resolve the questions about Bernie from our peers and supporters that we don't have answers to right now?

The post meeting message
Do we have any other way of fielding detailed policy questions to the campaign?

I would look at Bernie's facebook page or website and message (or email) them with the questions.

Who knows - if you don't ask you can't be told "no", right?

Maybe the hosts here could start a "whiteboard" pinned thread for questions we can't find answers to. "How is Bernie's position on: ..."

I hadn't considered just asking. What kind of logic is that!? Trying to communicate


No, sincerely, thanks. I didn't think that far.
