I sat through the phone bank training for Benie Sanders: https://go.berniesanders.com/page/content/phonebank . They have 15 minute interactive training going on all the day long and they could really use you for GOTV messages for the next two days. The March 15 (!Tuesday!) primaries are 691 delegates:
- Florida:214
- Illinois:156
- Ohio:143 delegates
- North Carolina:107
- Missouri :71
These are the 3, 5, 7, 9 and 18 largest states . Together, they represent over 61M people or about 20% of the U.S. population. I am going to practice the script, acquaint with Bernie issues and start calling. Person to person makes the biggest difference in politics. North Carolina and Florida are the last and perhaps the most important southern states for Democrats because they are large and Democrats win them sometimes. However, Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio are critical as well. More information is here: https://go.berniesanders.com/page/content/march15/
For those of you who haven't done phone banking before, you will probably need a laptop or tablet, dedicated phone line or cell phone, cell buds or headset for your analog phone, comfortable chair. It seems daunting when you first start and then the script just falls into place. Sticking to the script and seeming authentic isn't as hard as it seems after your first ten calls. It is good practice talking and working with others. This is something that is critical right now you can do if you have the time.
