Wisconsin Bernie supporters: get to your county caucus on April 17

The first level caucus to choose national convention delegates is this Sunday, April 17, in each Wisconsin county. Please make it a point to attend and vote for the best delegates. Find a description of the process here. Scroll down to find the location for your county. Registration is from 1 pm to 2 pm and the caucus begins at 2 pm. You need to identify as a Democrat but do not need to be a paid member of the party.

This is where Bernie's victory last week starts being translated into actual delegates and we must not drop the ball.

(Edit to add: the second level, the Congressional District caucus, is on May 1, same times as above. Both levels are important.)

The victory means nothing unless those delegates show.

I think Bernie has ramped up efforts in these caucus states to make sure that his delegates get to these important conventions.
