Phone banking. Once the Sanders online phone bank tool was unveiled the polls have responded, regardless of how many TV Ads Hillary has bought. The way we deliver Iowa is to make calls into Iowa. The next shift to call into Iowa starts at Noon Central tIme.
So who’s onboard? Who’s going to pledge 3 hours to Bernie on the day before the Iowa Caucuses? Its easy and I’ll show you all the tools to make it happen.
Heres a quick 2 minute 48 second video
This is the official 11 minute Bernie 2016 training video
So get a laptop or tablet and have cell phone ready:
Go to the Bernie Dialer page and request a login ID and Password, print out the Iowa script. By then you will have gotten an email, follow the directions. once you’ve logged into the dailer switch your status to “READY” and the calls will be forwarded to your cell phone. When you hear a beep, say hello, introduce yourself:
Hi is this Markos? My name is Roger and I’m a grassroots volunteer for Bernie Sanders……….
Theres one more thing I want all the Bernie supporters on DK to do, join your local Slack Team. Slack is an incredible app that facilitates team communication, it was used by the NASA team that put rovers on Mars. Its free, and there are versions for the iPhone and Android. I have most of our volunteers in Westchester County NY on our own Slack. Once on Slack you’ll be working with Grassroots Volunteers at the street level. You’ll be aware of everything happening at the local level and when and where you can help out.

I have a phone bank on Monday at the Library, so I’ll be using Ground Control, a cool tool thats lets me call local volunteers who have registered at berniesanders.com, and ask them to my phone bank. Ground Control is a very powerful tool the Sanders campaign has entrusted us with. If you create a phone bank at berniesanders.com/events you will get an email with a link to Ground Control, so you can go ahead and make calls and send emails to local volunteers to get them to your events. You can also share your Ground Control link with other volunteers you trust to help turn out volunteers to your events.
Zack Exley of the national Campaign has asked us to create phone banks thru Super Tuesday. I am personally hosting 6 phone banks: Jan 25, Feb 1st, Feb 8th, Feb 17th, Feb 22nd, Feb 29th. Other volunteers from Westchester4bernie.org are hosting 4 to 5 phone banks thru Super Tuesday. Our goal is to have 2 phone banks a day, 7 days a week, so people have a geographic choice. W4B anticipates we will make 20,000 to 30,000 calls into early states for Bernie by March 1st.
All right my Brothers and Sisters, this is how we elect Bernie. Its time to step out of your comfort zone and step up for Bernie. Its up to us to deliver.
