(21,210 posts)suggestions, print out the script for the state you are calling as well as how to mark the calls. Do not hang up your phone
Credentials are good for the entire day, the number on caller ID might show up as a local Sanders office, so be prepared if they know why you are calling.
Do not hang up your phone! Calls are dialed automatically for you as long as you are in "ready mode."
Just look at the name on your computer screen, follow the script as closely as possible and log the response.
Most people have been very polite, never encountered a nasty person ... just do it!

(1,163 posts)I phonebanked from a convention where I was working last time days before Michigan, and we won!
If I don't work for NY and we lose, I'll be bummed.
Let's go!

(21,210 posts)although their unions were endorsing Clinton.
I suggested they look up Sanders record of walking on picket lines and supporting unions, maybe they'll take another look at Sanders? They seemed to be receptive, but we will not know if we do not try!
So give yourself 30 minutes, watch the video about calling, print the script for the state you are calling and try to stick to it as closely as you can, if you have not done this before take a deep breath, I never did this before Sanders came along. Also familiarize yourself with the responses and how they should be recorded, there is a live chat helpline you can tap into with questions.
Just start, 6-8 is a great time weekdays.
Volunteer and/or donate now to help give Sanders a strong showing in NY.
Thx
