Since
Bernie Sanders announced last month that he was seeking the democratic nomination for president he has been involved in a
firestorm of media appearances, campaigning, and getting the message of the economic plight facing the 99% back into the conscience of the American public. Bernie has put forward an agenda that will finally address some of the systemic problems such
making college tuition free and lowering debt for previous students and in his first four days of campaigning he raised through small donations online; more money then all the supposed top republican candidates. People who were seeking more information on Bernie were directed towards his web site which had little more than a donation link and some boiler plate points to go off of.
Well as Bernie promised (and he tends to be a man of his word) his website has gone live today in an attempt to put the 200,000 plus people who have given money and sought to volunteer to work. Indeed, one of the primary challenges Bernie's campaign (as well as any) will face is his ability to mobilize people and get his message of Climate Change and income inequality out into the forefront of a media dominated by scandal and petty machinations of the 1%.
Bernie's new website focuses not on just on giving money to help the campaign, but actively finding ways for people to get involved. Indeed, you can sign Bernie's petition to break up the banks, call voters, put out yard signs, set up house parties or attend them, and of course knock on doors to directly engage voters in Bernie's name.
So check out Bernie's new website launch, sign up to help out, and help grow this progressive campaign.
