CALIFORNIA ELECTION UPDATE!!!

Friends, I spoke to a gentleman in the Secretary of State's office at great length tonight and I wanted to share my findings.

1. You can find the semi-official California election results at http://vote.sos.ca.gov/

2. Apparently these results include mail-in ballots that were received up to several days before the election as well as most of the regular and cross-over ballots that were received on Election Day.

3. Mail-in ballots that were received closer to Election Day and mail-in ballots postmarked by June 7 will be continue to be counted from now through the end of June. They will also be verifying and counting provisional ballots.

4. Tonight or tomorrow morning, they will post an update on how many ballots they estimate are waiting to be processed at http://vote.sos.ca.gov/unprocessed-ballots-status/ This estimate is based solely on unofficial county updates that are voluntarily reported by county elections officials.

5. I have read credible reports that estimate the number of ballots that have not been counted are between 1million and 1.5million. According to the person that I spoke to, this is not unusual -- this is how it is every election and if the fact that up to 40% of the ballots in the largest state in America do not get counted and announced until 30+ days AFTER the results have been announced to the world, it should.

6. The Whole 9 Gallery was a canvassing location for District 37 and in two weeks, we had at least 200 - 250 people come through here, some taking multiple shifts to canvas in approximately an 3 mile radius surrounding Culver City. When the canvassers came back, invariably they were asked by myself, Soren C. Sorensen and Adrienne Higgins "What'd you see out there?" My conservative estimate for everything I heard was that there were 3 Bernie supporters for every Hillary supporter, but I'd love feedback from Adrienne, Soren, and Alex Leichenger. I would also love to hear from Michelle Manos and Christopher Fleury about what they were seeing at other canvassing locations.

7. Based on the numbers at http://vote.sos.ca.gov/contests/president/party/democratic/, Clinton has won 60.2% of the vote in Congressional District 37 thus far.

8. I spend ALOT of time applying common sense to figuring out major problems and projects and there is absolutely nothing that I've seen by being a politically active community organizer who just spent two weeks listening to reports from people canvassing in this area that remotely leads me to believe that Clinton should be winning 60% of the vote in Congressional District 37.

9. Based on the realities that one of Clinton's strategies was securing votes by early mail-in ballots and Bernie's was securing votes by new people showing up on voting day, my belief is that if the remaining ballots were counted accurately, that Bernie would receive at least 60% of the remaining votes which means he might overtake Clinton.

We all know that if Bernie won California, the momentum of the election would have changed. It cannot be denied that the intent of securing additional Superdelegate pledges by the AP Reporter and then announcing Clinton of the nominee on a day that NOT ONE AMERICAN CITIZEN VOTED was to influence the election in Hillary's favor and let the spin machine begin so that if the vote count ultimately shifts in Bernie's favor, it will be too late.

Earlier today, I watched an interview with Bernie after his meeting with Obama and he was asked "What do you think of President Obama's endorsement of Secretary Clinton?" He was so choked up, he couldn't speak and he actually wiped a tear from his eye before someone else stepped in and said "We won't be taking any more questions."

This, my friends, is the democracy we allowed because we did not stand up together soon enough. A democracy that is based on serving the interests of the few at the expense of the many -- at the expense of men like Bernie Sanders who has worked tirelessly for justice and peace his entire life and who, if elected President would have fought every single day for a world where there was more peace, more abundance and more equality for all.

Instead, we've got two candidates who are under Federal Investigation for fraud and corruption. If this is what it takes to make history -- if this is what it takes to get a woman nominated in one of our major parties, I'm not proud -- I am ashamed.

I'm ashamed of my fellow Americans who are so invested in what they have to think about what others don't have, and who because of this, have adopted a win-at-any cost mentality. I'm ashamed of those that are willing to castigate Trump for his odious behavior while turning a blind eye to a female candidate who is willing to cheat, lie and steal her way to the top and who inspires this same behavior in those who are supposed to be public citizens all across the United States.

Some may dismiss me as crazy. Fortunately I could really care less. When I lay my head down at night and when I go out of this world, I will do so knowing that every single day, I not only spoke my truth, but I behaved with integrity and I was in complete alignment with the principles I teach my children and those that I expect of myself.

I will never vote for someone that took the rights of so many away, that so carelessly calls for wars that kills other women's children and who takes and takes and takes without giving anything substantive or real in return to the people she is elected to serve.

I will continue working tirelessly for peace and although the game may be changing, it is far from over and I know that not one moment has been wasted and not one dollar has been misspent.

I have faith in Bernie -- I have faith in the fearless warriors for peace and justice that I met that stepped up and answered the call and ripped back the veil on the Democratic Party.

We can give up or we can stand up. I know what I plan to do -- I plan to make another donation right now at www.berniesanders.com/donate and then I plan to do some phonebanking into Washington DC this weekend, www.berniesanders.com/phonebank

Let's rock it friends -- we've got a job to do!

THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES

Compatriots,

All of you know that when we began this campaign a little over a year ago we were considered to be a fringe campaign. But over the last year, I think that has changed just a little bit.

As of today, we have won 22 state primaries and caucuses with over 11 million votes. 

What is most extraordinary to me is that in virtually every single state, we have won in big numbers the votes of young people.

Young people understand that they are the future of America, and they intend to help shape that future.

I am enormously optimistic about the future of our country when so many young people have come on board and understand that our vision, a vision of social justice, economic justice, racial justice, and environmental justice, must be the future of America.

Our campaign from day one has understood some very basic points, and that is first, we will not allow right-wing Republicans to control our government.

That is especially true with Donald Trump as the Republican candidate.

 The American people in my view will never support a candidate whose major theme is bigotry, who insults Mexicans, who insults Muslims and women and African-Americans. We will not allow Donald Trump to become president of the United States.

But we understand that our mission is more than just defeating Trump. It is transforming our country. 

The vast majority of the American people know that it is not acceptable that the top tenth of 1 percent owns as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent; we’re going to change that.

When millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages, we will not allow 57 percent of all new income to go to the top 1 percent. We will end a corrupt campaign finance system.

Democracy is not about billionaires buying elections.

We will end a broken criminal justice system.

We will break up the major banks on Wall Street. We will join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all people as a right.

We will bring about real immigration reform and a path toward citizenship. We will tell the billionaire class and corporate America that they will start paying their fair share of taxes.

What we understand, and what every one of us has always understood, is that real change never occurs from the top on down, always from the bottom on up.

That is the history of America, whether it is the creation of the trade union movement, the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, the gay movement.

 And that is what OUR movement is about.

But you all know it is more than Bernie Sanders. It is all of us together. That is what this movement is about: millions of people from coast to coast standing up and looking around them and knowing that we can do much, much better as a nation.

Whether Wall Street likes it, whether corporate America likes it, whether wealthy campaign contributors like it, whether the corporate media likes it, together we know what our job is. It is to bring the American people together to create a government that works for us, not the 1 percent.

Next Tuesday, we continue the fight. We are going to fight hard to win the primary in Washington, D.C. And then we take our fight for social, economic, racial, and environmental justice to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I am pretty good at arithmetic, and I know that the fight in front of us is a very, very steep fight, but we will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate we can get.

 Last night I had a very kind call from President Obama and I look forward to working with him to ensure that we move this country forward.

 Andlast night, I also had a very gracious call from Secretary Clinton and congratulated her on her victories.

Our fight is to transform our country and to understand that we are in this together.

 It is to understand that all of what we believe is what the majority of the American people believe. And it is to understand that the struggle continues.

If this campaign has proven anything, it has proven that millions of Americans who love this country are prepared to stand up and fight to make this country a much better place.

Thank you all. The struggle continues.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

Paulo Augusto -

You ask anyone running for office what they hate most about it, and I guarantee that virtually every single candidate will say that it's raising money.

The way that you have helped me run for president is absolutely unprecedented. 

I get to talk to voters, while my opponent has to talk to donors.

The candidates we're endorsing for other races are seeing similar results.

We funded state legislative candidates' entire campaigns through one email. We completely transformed several congressional races because of your generosity.

That's why today I'm endorsing 2 new progressives – Eric Kingson in New York, and Paul Clements in Michigan – and asking you to again support Lucy Flores, Zephyr Teachout, Pramila Jayapal, and Tim Canova in their races for Congress.

Split a $2.70 contribution between our campaign and these six progressives we need in Congress. Your support can change their races overnight and help elect progressives across the country.

After 10,000 people contributed to Chris Pearson, who's running for the Vermont State Senate, his entire campaign was funded. For the whole election! Chris said in response, "What it means for me is now I don't have to spend time asking a small number of donors for big checks."

When you helped raise huge sums of money for Zephyr Teachout's campaign in New York, she was able to cancel her fundraising calls and head out on the picket line with striking workers throughout her district.

Lucy Flores' election is in just one week, and your support for her this spring completely upended her primary. Your support for her today could put her close to victory.

I'm endorsing Eric Kingson for Congress in New York because he led the fight to protect Social Security, and I'm endorsing Paul Clements in Michigan because he can help unseat the leading climate change denier in Congress. I know that we can transform their races too, like we did for Chris, Zephyr, and Lucy.

What we are proving – you and me, Paulo Augusto – is that it is possible to take back this country from the billionaire class. It is possible to stop millionaires and billionaires from buying our democracy. And we can do it $27 at a time.

Split a $2.70 contribution between our campaign and those of the congressional candidates I support so that together, we can elect a progressive Congress not beholden to special interests.

Our movement is so powerful that we can change congressional elections overnight. Let's keep going.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

Paulo Augusto –

  Tuesday marks the largest set of primaries and caucuses in the Democratic nomination process with six states voting for president and 694 pledged delegates up for grabs. 

Pundits and the political press want to call this race early before every last person votes. 

That threatens to suppress voter turnout in New Jersey, California, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and New Mexico. But we’re not going to let that happen.

On Tuesday, we’re going to defy the pundits once more and reach for the kind of high voter turnout that will again shock the establishment. Help reach Bernie voters:

To get logged on and start making calls, just head on over to our California phonebanking page.

I'M READY TO CALL CALIFORNIA VOTERS!

Throughout this race, we’ve been sending the establishment a message they can’t ignore: we won’t settle for the status quo. 

We won’t settle for a rigged economy held in place by a corrupt system of campaign finance. 

We won’t settle for a fossil fuel industry hell-bent on harming our planet to pad their profits. We won’t settle for a health system that doesn’t cover everyone.

Let’s make our voices heard loud and clear once more in the six states voting Tuesday. Please make calls to get out the vote for Bernie in California.

In California, a high voter turnout won’t just mean a victory for our movement. With large numbers of young people hitting the polls, we’ll boost so many Democrats in major primaries that right-wing Republicans will be locked out of general election ballots for some of the most important House and Senate races of the fall.

Members of the media and political establishment may have anointed Secretary Clinton from day one, but we know that this race is going to carry on until the delegates cast ballots at the convention in Philadelphia.

We should let the voters decide who they want the Democratic nominee to be rather than having the media decide for them.

 I am asking you to continue to stand with Bernie in pushing for the political revolution.

Please make calls to get out the vote for Bernie in California.

In solidarity,

Jeff Weaver

LET'S TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS.

Dear Compatriots,

  The LA Times came out with some very interesting news on Friday:California's voter rolls swelled by more than 650,000 new voters right before the registration deadline. 

This presents us with a golden opportunity – we think a big percentage of those new voters are ready to support Bernie.

Needless to say, winning California would be a yuuuge boost for our movement. 

We've come from more than 50 points down when we started, to a statistical tie in the latest polls. So now, it all depends on turnout.

Our staff and volunteers in California are fired up and working virtually around the clock to get all Bernie's supporters to the polls on Tuesday.

 Can you help out on the phones for an hour or two?

YES, I'LL MAKE SOME CALLS BEFORE ELECTION DAY

If you've never made calls for Bernie before, now is the time to step up. 

It's not a complicated process, and we'll give you all the instructions you need to make these important calls. 

Californians are very receptive to Bernie's progressive message, and if we can pull off a victory there Tuesday, you'll know you played an important role at this pivotal moment of American political history.

We're fighting hard to win California since it's the final and – with 475 pledged delegates up for grabs – biggest state on the primary calendar. 

A strong showing there will give the superdelegates something very important to think about as they consider who will be the strongest nominee against Trump in the fall.

So we hope you can pitch in a couple hours of your time between now and Tuesday to keep our political revolution rolling strong all the way to the convention in Philadelphia.

In solidarity,

Team Bernie
