Dear Bernie Redditors.

From Official Campaign Field Staff:

We arrived on Oahu this week and are ready to hit the ground running. We have exactly 30 days until Hawaii’s Caucus on March 26th and no time to waste.

The tremendous amount of Phone Banking nationwide has transformed the face of this campaign. Grassroots Activists, including the Community on Reddit, have been a driving force behind the Sanders juggernaut.

For those Phone Banking into the Hawaiian islands, we wanted to offer some guidelines to keep every interaction positive and productive.

First and foremost, calls are our primary tool to identify supporters. Don’t waste time arguing with someone who has already decided on another candidate; politely move on and use that time to find more supporters!

When speaking to an undecided voter, stick to the issues and stay positive. There is no excuse for rude or aggressive behaviour on a call that represents the Sanders Campaign. Some issues of particular relevance here on the islands are:

• Income Inequality, i.e. golf courses/hotels are more abundant than affordable housing.

• Environmental Issues, which generally are a huge priority in the progressive community here. Global warming, GMOs, and sustainable local agriculture are key topics to reference

• Trade Policy, like the TPP, which will ship more jobs overseas and limit the power of workers at home

When you do identify a supporter, direct them to contact us about getting involved with our local field operation.

• Contact Info for now: For Housing: Julie Doubleday: [email protected]

We are still looking for an office space (and would appreciate leads on this front).

• Contact Info for now: Mobile Office: Jeremy Cohen: [email protected]

If you are yourself located on the Hawaiian Islands and are interested in getting more involved with the field team here, please reach out to:

A hui hou!

Any predictions? Don't let us Berners in the mainland down! ;)

Edit: Typo in title; should be "How's it looking in Hawaii?"

Hawaii, we have lots of work to do in our home state but other states also need our help. If you have strong convictions for Bernie Sanders please take time out of your day to phonebank, facebank, and talk about Bernie Sanders to people in the states coming up to include Hawaii. A good place to start is berniefriendfinder.com for facebanking and the /r/sandersforpresident subreddit for phonebanking. Its really simple and VERY effective. Michigan is a testament to that. GO BERNIE! See you all tomorrow night.

Bernie Sanders to superdelegates if a candidate wins your state by 40 or 50 points, who are you going to give your vote to?

Link to discussion of article in /r/sandersforpresident

Within that debate it was asked if this was a call to action to ask superdelegates where they stand, and some responded only if you're their constituents.

So I took a look at the List of Democratic Party Superdelegates and found that we have 1 superdelegate in Hawaii committed to Bernie, while the majority in Hawaii are for Hillary or uncommitted at this point.

If you're unsure of your representative, you can check out: Who is my Representative and enter in your zip code .

I think it would be worth us asking our representatives the same questions, however for those who are part of the DNC and not a specific representative, I'm unsure if we're able to contact them.

Edit Title was supposed to say FROM Hillary after our solid victory. Doh.

Slack is a collaboration tool for teams. It's strength lies in it's ability to keep larger teams coordinated on multiple projects. It's already in use by Sanders grassroots teams across the country. Please PM me your email for an invitation, then login online at hawaiiforsanders.slack.com, or download the mobile client. Happy slacking.

If you can reach this Samoan population it will be great. Also please check your facebook to see if you know anyone from there.
