Made phone calls to Wisconsin, from KC, for Bernie tonight

The KC for Bernie group has canvassed and phonebanked for Bernie, here in KC; we also sent a volunteer contingent to Iowa on some of the coldest days of last year. We're still phonebanking for Bernie, until he wins!

Some Bernie supporters, some 'other; - people who wouldn't say who they will vote for - and some 'refused' - people who just don't want to talk to us. In my experience, that latter group tends to increase as you get closer to a primary; people are just weary of being called.

I have had the same phone and address for almost 15 years.

I have had calls from Republicans but never any Democratic candidates.

I was so excited.

The young man I talked to was so excited, that I was so excited.

Then later in the day my phone rang and I heard Bernie's voice.

It took me a moment to realize it was a recording.

I enjoyed both calls !!!

I received a total of 5 calls in 2 days.

Thank you for all your hard work !!!!

I hope to make some phone calls over the weekend, and definitely on Monday.

Bernie needs to win WI.
