“If you’re not at the
table, you’re on the menu.” I’m not sure who quoted this, but the words hold
true, especially where the 2016 Presidential election is concerned. If we
listen carefully to the presidential candidates, we’ll discover that the planned
menu will serve Americans a healthy dose of militarized attacks: foreign and
domestic, mass incarceration, and privatized schools. Many know that the only
answer is sealing the democratic nomination for Sen. Bernie Sanders, but how
can that be done? For sure, those who support Sen. Sanders are aware that in
order to vote for him in the primaries they must be registered democrats.
However, the democratic, political process is a bit more complicated than
merely registering as a democrat and showing up on Election Day.
Delegates are Important
To win the
nomination, the single most important thing supporters of Sen. Sanders can do
is apply to run as delegates in their respective districts or precincts because as Blake
Britton of “Delegates for Sen. Bernie Sanders” puts it, “A thousand hours of campaigning for Bernie will have
been wasted if we don't get him elected as the Democratic NOMINEE!” Delegates are important; they are what gave Sen. Obama swagger as he entered the Democratic
Convention hall in 2008; those same delegates gave Hillary Rodham Clinton the flux as she lost the delegate race, ending her chances of securing the democratic nomination. At the end
of the day, Delegates and Super-Delegates decide the party nominee.
Delegates for Sen. Bernie Sanders
In order to win the Democratic nomination, a candidate must secure 2,250 delegates. A cursory view of the 2008 delegate race between Clinton and Obama illustrates the need for Sen. Sanders to enter the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, PA with as many pledged delegates as possible. That's where Delegates for Sen. Bernie Sanders enters the picture. Delegates for Sen. Bernie Sanders was started to educate Sanders' supporters about the democratic process and the importance of Delegates and Super-Delegates in nominating the Democratic contender in the Presidential election. The group is “committed to ensuring that our delegates champion the WILL OF WE THE PEOPLE,”
says Bonnie Flournoy, founder of Delegates for Sen. Bernie Sanders. The only way to ensure "that our delegates champion the WILL OF WE THE PEOPLE" is to make sure that Sen. Sanders supporters make every effort to participate in the delegate selection process, to include applying for and running as delegates.
Information is being compiled to educate and provide direction for those interested in the processes involved in delegate selection for each state. Several states have already adopted their respective delegate selection processes. Delegates for Sen. Bernie Sanders encourages each supporter of Sen. Sanders to join in our efforts in amassing as many delegates as possible by being committed to "Bern with Passion." The Grassroots Movement is doing swell. Let's not put in all of this work to trip at the finish line.
Imagine joining Sen. Sanders in the City of Brotherly Love for the Democratic National Convention. Imagine being able to say, "I voted for Bernie at the DNC." Imagine giving Hillary the flux in 2016. Now, imagine not
