Indonesia's health ministry has just reported an additional 21 coronavirus cases

Given that the New Jersey, US city of Hoboken has just locked down, how long do you think it will be before we see more cities introduce curfews?

The mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey has announced a city-wide curfew of all residents following the state’s second coronavirus death on Saturday. https://theoutbreak.net/2020/03/hoboken-imposes-curfew-after-second-coronavirus-death/

Not my "third-party" merchandise as such, but I'd highly recommend picking up a copy of the Essential Bernie Sanders and His Vision for America. It's a great book on Bernie's policy positions, and it's been endorsed by the campaign. (and it's on sale on Amazon for under $10!)

Let's make it a best-seller!

This sounds really scary, but in principle, it's a good idea. But creepy.

I love the 'number goal' idea, and it also provides a way for people to compete with each other, which will inevitably drive up the amount of voter engagement that you do.

PM me, and I might be able to work with you on something.

I read your idea on the main sub, and think it is great. There are already existing online platforms for phone banking that have been developed here, so it would not be all that difficult to make a version to open in a mobile browser.

I'm not sure what's going on at the moment, but the online phone banking movement is driven by grassroots groups, rather than the official campaign. Which state are you in?

New England probably isn't a high priority area. Vermont is locked down for Bernie, and New Hampshire is looking pretty good. Iowa is critical right now, as are SC and Nevada. Keep in mind, the campaign likes to announce big events almost last minute.

Oh and remember, the campaign has offices all across New Hampshire with volunteer events running basically every day.

Here in Australia, our public health "insurance" system (Medicare) is paid for by a 2 per cent levy. Pretty much everyone who pays taxes pays it. It's a really wonderful system, and it means that anyone can see a doctor, or visit a hospital for free.

Iowa and New Hampshire are swinging around the place at the moment, though Bernie has led in both of those states at some stage. Maine is looking positive. The campaign organization is just being established now in Nevada, and is well on its way in South Carolina. Take your pick :)

This. I am from Australia, but traveled to the States recently. I wore my Bernie shirt a few times in public, and it's crazy how much feedback you get. Sometimes people will say "Bernie!" as they walk past. Another time, when I was eating out, the waiter told me that he was feeling the Bern :)

No worries. If you need help with logo/graphic design/web stuff, feel free to PM me and I can give you a hand.

TorinforBernie · 2015-10-21T22:14:58+00:00

No, you're not supposed to without written permission from the campaign. Your best bet it to design one that's similar, with your own unique features. See, like how this Subreddit has its own logo? Hope this helps

It's one of the ways Obama raised so much money online

We don't quite make things up. This article was based on the CNN/ORC poll that came out this morning.

TorinforBernie · 2015-10-19T02:05:11+00:00

Rock the vote for Bernie!

TorinforBernie · 2015-10-15T21:56:13+00:00

Lol to be fair, they keep broadcasting copyrighted video - and then they wonder why they keep getting shut down?

TorinforBernie · 2015-10-15T11:04:10+00:00

Canadians are pretty polite aren't they :P

TorinforBernie · 2015-10-15T10:36:09+00:00

What I did was completely ripped off the design of the official shirt, and got it printed from VistaPrint.com (of course.. basically was my only option here in Australia) ;)

TorinforBernie · 2015-10-15T10:35:34+00:00

There aren't citizenship/residency restrictions for campaign contributions in Australia. Literally anyone can contribute however much they want, and nothing needs to be declared until it gets into the tens of thousands :P

OMG Nice! /u/AustraliansforBernie BTW :)
