Thanks for volunteering for Bernie...I am so sorry you had to endure that. My husband and I have been phone banking for Bernie in Missouri and the response has been very good; but of course we're given a list of likely Democratic voters.

Maybe you should ask your coordinator if you could switch to phone banking...?

Take care and be safe. This election cycle is bizarre, to say the least.
