Create an Event! It's easy to create your event! The Bernie organizing site has some great ideas and resources and we have some
veteran organizers in our group who can help with your planning and
implementation (and be sure to let us know about your event!)
BERNIE ROAD TRIPS William,
Jackie, Carrie, John and Aaron took a trip! From Facebook: We had a
lot of fun on our road trip to Dubuque. Loras College has some really
nice facilities. Bernie Sanders gave another great speech. The
stamina he shows is very impressive, as he has had some marathon days
this past week. [August 15], he was a guest on Meet the Press, he
"officially" opened his Cedar Rapids Field Headquarters, he
visited the Scott County Democrats Picnic (3,000 in attendance), he
attended a labor meeting in Clinton (IAFF Local 609 Union Hall), and
finally, he capped off the day with the Dubuque Town Hall Meeting
(2,000-2,500 in attendance). Read more at LaCrosse4Bernie on Facebook.
Cathy, Avery and Austin went to the Iowa State Fair on Saturday and got to HEAR Bernie while looking at lots of
backs! However, after the speech, Avery was hanging out in the shade
and suddenly she was surrounded by people and there was Bernie
sitting at a nearby picnic table and talking to the press! (see her pic above)
Add your $3 monthly recurring contribution today and we’ll send you this Bernie Super PACK
founding member sticker—the last day for this offer. While our
grassroots fundraising numbers are historically large, so is the
amount of money billionaires are pouring into Super PACs for Hillary
Clinton, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz and almost every other declared
candidate. That’s one of the reasons your recurring contribution is
so important: it allows us to scale our plan secure in the knowledge
that we’ll have the resources needed to win in Iowa and New
Hampshire, and capture the delegates required for the Democratic
Party nomination.
LAX4BERNIE TEAMS - ARE YOU SIGNED UP? Three FOUR groups are working on the Bernie campaign
right here and right now! Please sign up! We need active volunteers
for the OUTREACH team, the MEDIA team and the HOME team. We are
adding a CANVASSING team, too! Email Cathy if you want to get
connected to one or more.
STUDENTS FOR BERNIE? We have several institutions of higher learning in
our area - let's help get a LA CROSSE STUDENTS 4 BERNIE group going!
Do you have a connection to UW-L, Viterbo, WTC, or Globe University?
If yes, can you help set up an or several student events either at
your institution or in the community? It would be great if we could
have regular Bernie tabling at each school for example or a
Bernieversity teach in event or something that will bring young
voters into the campaign. Let me know if you're interested and/or
spread your ideas on our social media network. If even one student
from each school could start meeting together and organizing events,
the potential is incredible.
SEEKING LA CROSSE 4 BERNIE HQ! Do you have a
front porch, garage, basement or spare room you could spare a few
hours a week as a Bernie headquarters? It would be nice to have a
centrally located space to use as a headquarters and supplies storage
space. It wouldn't have to be big or open 24/7. Maybe it would be
available by appointment only or only on Saturday afternoons and
Wednesday evenings. Ideally it would be someplace that is secure and
would hold a few people for a meeting, strategy session, canvassing
training or other planning event. If you know of or have someplace
like this, please email Cathy.
VOTER REGISTRATION TRAINING OFFERED IN CITY OF LA
CROSSE. As we know, it's super important to make sure as many
eligible voters as possible are registered to vote. Bernie will need
as many votes as possible. People who wish to be certified to
register voters in the City of La Crosse ay sign up for one of two
training sessions offered by Teri Lehrke, the City Clerk. Please note
that voter registration must be a NON-PARTISAN activity. Registrars
must register anyone who qualifies and may not do any politicking
while registering voters. The sessions are: Monday, August 31 at 1:30
p.m. and Wednesday, September 2 at 9:00 a.m. Both sessions will be
held in the third floor conference room in City Hall, 400 La Crosse
Street. Call Ms. Lehrke to register for a session: 608 789-556. THIS
IS JUST FOR CITY OF LA CROSSE! If you live in another community,
contact your city clerk to request a training session.
HELP LAX4BERNIE GROW! Do you know people in our
area who want to help elect Bernie Sanders? Please have them email
couleeprogressive@hotmail.com to be put on the mailing list and get
information about local activities and opportunities to help.
Coolest (really) Bernie site of the week: ummmmmm. ice cream.
