PERIOD I also told him that until he does THAT, Bernie voters feel he GAVE up and abandoned the people of America. He's as crooked a politician as ANY other because he said he would NEVER give up. He may have done what did because he was told he'd be JFK'd if he continued fighting Hillary. If so, he SHOULD have stated so on LIVE Criminal Meanstream Media.

1 The Dem/Oligarchy is what it is. It cannot be reformed. I think the "Our Revolution" is meant to be a distraction and 8/30/2016 9:05 AM holding pen for people who are followers looking for leaders -- they put this in place before a real revolutionary leader could grab hold. Jill Stein could have gotten a vast majority of Bernie supporters, had it not been for what and how Bernie gave up after being threatened by the WH and Clinton thugs; Bernie's actions left everything in splinters, apparently as planned. This "Our Revolution", ignoring WAR and many other important issues, is the same as the "MoveOn" that was meant to usher in the oligarchy's Obama so he could make big pharma and insurance deals and wind up with TPP and TISA.
2 Lacked a plan or leadership. 8/30/2016 1:59 AM
5 / 31 What's Up With "Our Revolution" SurveyMonkey
3 I remain excited about the potential. I like the board that was announced today after the event. I was hoping that an 8/29/2016 8:26 PM organization that would harness the power of the grassroots that would guide and propel forward progressive candidates would be created. That did not happen. Much of the energy that could have created something effective has now dispersed and might not be able to be collectively harnessed again. I am sure that Our Revolution will do good but I fear that a desire to do things the "tried and true" way that has always failed in the past is the direction "our revolution" will take. The real power is in the innovative ways people collectively achieved through the empowerment of many different leaders taking charge and utilizing new online tools to organize. So the old school way and the possibility of the new way of doing things seem at odds here. I feel something was lost, period. Many good things can still come out of what grassroots chooses to do and what our revolution does and hopefully they can coordinate in some way. It will be interesting to see how Bernie uses his mailing list.
4 Why no mention of Tim Canova and his race against Debbie Wasserman-Schultz? Otherwise we'll done. Like that 8/29/2016 6:49 PM Hillary was not pushed down our throat.
5 I think progressives in general need to understand that this is a movement and not everyone will get their favorite 8/29/2016 6:19 PM cause at the top of the agenda. We have to be willing to struggle together for as much as we can realistically accomplish, understanding that some things, like no more war, may take longer to achieve than other things, like universal health care. We must be careful not to throw the whole movement under the bus because one person's top concern isn't the first to be addressed.
6 Seemed like a lot of fluff. Wondered if they are launching a super PAC. When Bernie didn't give Canova a shout out, I 8/29/2016 3:56 PM was crushed and taken aback. Turned off after Bernie spoke.
7 Not a bad idea, implementation of the event was under par, and some events did not offer and continuation plans or 8/29/2016 3:38 PM opportunity for discussion. Many people have been left with the notion that the organizational flap was the cause of the poor implementation. Some felt that Bernie was stepping back too abruptly and precipitously; statutory rules about elections actually prohibit Bernie's direct coordination. A little info on that would have helped.
8 502c4 is the most popular superpac vehicle since CitzUnited. It allows u limited dark $ but no direct candidate support 8/29/2016 3:25 PM or contact. That makes it a big $ propaganda machine whose sole purpose seems to coopt Bernieites into promoting Hill and other estab dems. Definitely a child of DNC compromise. It's a cruel trick.
9 I was shocked by his revolution talk followed by his support of Clinton. It felt the same as Elizabeth Warren's apparent 8/29/2016 2:24 PM message of "the system is rigged" followed by "long live the system".
10 Whenever a guy who has sold himself as captain purity engages in overt misogyny, recycling bullshit right misinfo, and 8/29/2016 1:29 PM buys his THIRD 2/3 of a million dollar house, my bull shit o meter gets pegged. Bernie is a populist masquerading as a leftist. And oh yeah, "revolutions" do not occur in well coordinated media pushes. This is an attempt to masquerade smug self indulgence as self sacrifice to people who never want to be uncomfortable.
11 Didn't watch it 8/29/2016 12:53 PM
12 I am not sure it will generate the needed energy without Bernie's active involvement at the helm. I do not think there is 8/29/2016 11:20 AM enough focus on foreign policy and stopping our culture of endless war. I am not clear on how the new organization will continue to mobilize the energy of people to make a difference and bring real change to our political system.
13 did not get a chance to attend 8/29/2016 9:56 AM
14 Nothing was said about war. 8/29/2016 8:35 AM
15 The entire original leadership either walking out or being in solidarity with those who walked out makes me believe 8/29/2016 3:48 AM that the event, and subsequent "movement", are just a "politics as usual" smokescreen. I have no interest in it.
16 Given the slim margins that often exist in local political races like for school board members, it is an excellent idea for 8/28/2016 10:41 PM Our Revolution to back local progressive Our Revolution supporters to try and overcome the endemic corruption of organizations like LAUSD and districts like it around the country. Because mainstream media blacks out most coverage of the endemic corruption of local and state agencies, one is not aware of situations like attorney Kathleen Carroll win after a 6 year battle against nepotism and corruption at California State Teachers Credentialing. With majorities on school boards much of this entrenched corruption and the bureaucracies that keept it going can finally be confronted and changed.. Progressive strength is in our majority numbers, but given the blackout in the mainstream media, there remains a great deal of apathy in this unaware majority. The fact that Sanders won states where governors, congressmen, and a majority of public officials were against him gives an insight of just how effective Our Revolution can be in changing the balance of power from the local races on up.
17 I greatly admire and strongly support Bill McKibben. That said, I did not "feel the Bern" without Bernie as a leader. I 8/28/2016 8:26 PM recognize that electing progressive members to Congress is a worthwhile goal and that endorsements of key initiatives (such as the criminal reform measure on the ballot this November is also of great value. I concur with the sentiment of some of those at our event that the primary focus now needs to be on local races (school board, judges, etc.) to build a real foundation for change. I am more skeptical of the ability of the movement to influence national politics. I fear co- optation will be the order the day. See #4.

18 The Bernie group sponsoring the watch party I was invited to was in South Pasadena. Unfortunately that event began 8/28/2016 6:48 PM at around 2:30 pm, many hours before the end of my work day. I wonder if others working day shift jobs in the Pacific time zone had similar time conflicts. Why would a senator committed to working people hold a major organizational announcement event during the work day?
19 Bernie, Jane and Jeff are right about TV ads, one of the Weaver issues. Many of Bernie's supporters are 50-80 and 8/28/2016 5:54 PM don't get ALL their info from social media.
20 Couldn't make meet but, plan to get involved. 8/28/2016 5:19 PM
21 Bernie is not our daddy. He is not some super human being. I want him safe. I want him to do what he needs to do to 8/28/2016 4:56 PM stay safe. I lived through the 60s. When Bernie endorsed Hillary the powers that be expected that we would all just fall in line. Gee, that did not happen, and Bernie has been paying for that. It was always about us and the work we need to do. Yes, I have heard about the politics involved with staff leaving. That is disturbing, but is it really surprising that anything such as "Our Revolution" would be allowed to progress without a hitch? We better get used to it, because this is child's play compared to what is ahead for us. The oligarchy will not be going quietly.
22 I trust the concept. People are concerned about Jeff, I trust Bernie so I believe the goal will be Real Progressives, not 8/28/2016 4:14 PM Dempublicans. Tim Canoga got alot from Bernie bump, etc. Now he needs to focus on issues, not being the AntiDebbie. Issues. #ourrevolution candidates FOR progressive VALUES. Yes
23 I love Bernie, but I was disappointed he didn't mention Tim Canova. 8/28/2016 4:10 PM
24 Sanders inspired a movement that challenged the fundamental premise of Wall Street Democratic ideology. Wikileaks' 8/28/2016 3:07 PM public disgracing of Clinton's echo chamber, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, was the demonstrated the depths of the depravity to which the Clinton wing of the Democratic Party will stoop to get themselves into the oval office to serve as manager of the interests of America's ruling class. Sanders has presented a way that progressives can survive in that toxic environment.
25 I think it's a good idea but we have to see how it develops. I don't know enough about it but I am concerned that some 8/28/2016 2:58 PM of the staff wasn't happy with Jeff Weaver and the acceptance of money under certain circumstances and they resigned. I want to see the political revolution continue and hope this group, along with the others being formed, work together. Brand New Congress and the Bernie Delegate Network are two other outside groups that I am aware of. DFA is doing some training and PDA has the infrastructure to work on some parts of the political revolution and could work in tandem with Brand New Congress. It's too early to tell how this will all play out but I think they are all positive developments at this point.
26 As I followed Bernie through the primaries, I was always amazed at the passion and energy that he exuded and that it 8/28/2016 2:43 PM was matched by his listeners. As I watched the video, with a house party group, I could not detect that passiona dn energy, either on the videop or in the group at home. It is a great loss. Also, I would like to know more about the resons for the resignation of so many Our Revolution staff. I saw one blurb that said Jeff Weaver was oepn to taking corporate money, as well as individual donations, and they resigned because this is what we are fighting. How true is this? I don't know. Were there other reasons? I don't know. In short, I want to know more and know that we,.as an effective movement, must find ways of re-energizing the people.
27 Organization is a 501(c)4 - the exact thing Citizens United was. I was disappointed and find it hypocritical that Bernie 8/28/2016 1:52 PM would allow that. Some Berners don't understand exactly what it means and think they are giving money that will go to Berniecrats. Bernie has also not been doing any campaigning for the Berniecrats in particular Tim Canova. If he doesn't defeat DWS, we look pretty weak from the start.
28 I am concerned that those staffers who left were predominately young people---this movement needs all of their vitality 8/28/2016 1:49 PM and ideas it can get! Also a concern is Jeff Weaver's stated intention of soliciting big money donors' support, which has the possibility of coopting the movement, rather than continuing to rely on popular donations, which keeps Our Revolution OURS.
29 It's too early to cast judgement on this 501c4. 8/28/2016 11:50 AM
30 Reports are that Bernie's old campaign manager, the the head of Our Revolution, is a bully. I have zero-tolerance for 8/28/2016 11:25 AM bullying in the workplace, still recovering 5 years later from being bullied. From reports I hear the other big problem is this guy's refusal to really invest in Digital campaigning. Luckily, someone posted the meeting on Twitter or I would have missed it. Needs better leadership and organization.
31 The ideas that Bernie put forth will possibly spark the revolution needed to stop the oligarchy in its tracks. The Dems 8/28/2016 11:20 AM who are fed up with Democratic party, maybe even some Repubs that are tired ?? of the party of "no", the Independants and the "greens" could all come together in a common cause to get rid of the bums!!!!
32 I am concerned that the idea of forming a new group further splinters the left. Why not support existent ones? Why try 8/28/2016 10:40 AM try uniting with others? Now that I hear they are looking for big $ donors....sad & angry....betrays first principle....can't change a system by reproducing it. The event itself was lackluster. There are some who have almost cult like adoration for Bernie, I find some of local groups very insular, something amiss ..... He could do something to redirect that.

33 Transitioning from a candidate to a Hillary endorser at the same time as leaving the charge for a 'revolution' is a very 8/28/2016 9:50 AM tough thing to do. I have, however, given money to the progressive candidates Bernie endorsed, including Tim Canova,Tammy Duckworth, Russ Feingold, Jackie Rosen, Pramila Jayapal, and ActBlue itself. Whether it's Our Revolution or another entitiy, the only way the Democratic party is going to reflect real people is if we transform it from the ground up by electing progressive candidates who won't wimp out the second they get to Washington or whatever elective office they run for.,
34 I had been feeling very depressed about our political outlook given I don't like Clinton at all, but am forced to vote for 8/28/2016 9:26 AM her to defeat Trump. Attending the event with our local group, Ventura County Activists for Bernie Sanders, renewed my faith that we can effect a difference in our nation.
35 Other than sending money to PDA, I haven't gotten involved yet and I didn't watch the live stream... 8/28/2016 8:32 AM
36 Happy and glad but not inspired. 8/28/2016 8:24 AM
37 I passionately volunteered for Bernie Sanders' campaign, knocking on doors even going out of states, and donating 8/28/2016 8:16 AM 'more than comfortable' amount of money to his campaign. Now, I am not sure where this is going. Bernie's decision for action has been questionable in my mind. I didn't think he would have done that knowing his character unless he's been forced to by the DNC & Establishments. In terms of launching 'Our Revolution', I do not like hearing about all the bumps. The mementos is already fragmented. We don't need more of that. We need more unification. I wish Bernie would say something and explain rather than doing the same old stump speech.
38 Watered down from the earlier independent vision. Duplicative of PDA. 8/28/2016 7:34 AM
39 I'm encouraged by the number of people who attended. I was discouraged that the event I was planning to attend had 8/28/2016 6:56 AM been cancelled and another was too far away. I'm hopeful that those who attended will be inspired again to continue the hard work of day to day activism after the election year high voltage excitement.
40 Democrat and Republican parties are corrupt. Trying to work within those parties, as Mr Sanders is aware of, is always 8/28/2016 6:44 AM trying to work through jaded petty narratives.
41 Appalled that Jeff Weaver continues to control too much of the effort.. Need real progressive leadership not a 8/28/2016 6:11 AM corporate toady. Will not waste my time with it.
42 Even if Our Revolution does not take off yet, they are laying the ground work to take action when the out-of-control 8/28/2016 6:09 AM financial system and plutocrats crash the economy again. After the '08 crash, progressives thought "well that should settle the notion that markets know best." So they sat back and allowed what they thought would be a ground swell of demands for reform to happen. But the right wing better organized and prepared to hijack the narrative and find ways to deflect much of the blame from the financial sector onto government. They made it stick! Obama misplayed his hand. He got bogged down in health care which took all of the wind out of the sails for financial reform. We ended up with the overly complicated Dodd-Frank bill.
43 I liked at first the staff rebellion demonstrated to me that all organizations are top down,consequently BAD.GENUINE 8/28/2016 6:04 AM DEMOCRACY MUST BEGIN IN THE CITIES/COUNTIES WHERE THE PEOPLE.RESIDENTS MUST CONNECT,UNITE.AND ORGANIZE A DEMOCRATICALLY RUN "PEOPLE FIRST' COMMUNITY THAT INSURES THAT THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS PUT PEOPLE FIRST IN THEIR DECISIONS.
44 It leaves unanswered important questions. 1. The capitulation at the Dem convention was stunning and unexplained. 8/28/2016 4:52 AM He left Bernie delegates twisting slowly in the wind. It was a punch to the solar plexus. We need an explanation so that we can guard against it in the future. 2. The election was obviously rigged. Why should we believe it can’t and won’t happen again? 3. Why do we not now address eternal war and the MIC? 4. These issues have thrown cold water on this new direction.
45 Positive: He did mention Tim Canova! A note has been sent out that includes over 60 candidates of the 100 that the 8/28/2016 3:00 AM campaign promises, Canova included. Moreover, he spoke about supporting seven ballot measures; while he did not mention all seven, it turns out that 3 are on CA ballot. I cannot recall any other candidate make a point of ballot measures, past or present. Negative: Bernie is certainly no hawk, but as Norman Solomon and others have continued to offer, Bernie, himself has not been very outspoken on peace issues (and not war!).
46 Bernie sould back up Tim Casanova. The movement is a litlle bit late. 8/28/2016 2:53 AM
47 Bernie Sanders continued to promote the Progressive Agenda that helped to inspire a new generation of activists. The 8/28/2016 1:49 AM "Our Revolution" event re-energized some to stay active. This is a positive thing regardless of the staff controversy.
48 Was not able to review the video yet but intend to do so this week 8/28/2016 12:43 AM
49 This was a shell of Bernie's campaign. The words were the same, but they were hollow, because Our Revolution is all 8/28/2016 12:39 AM top down & undemocratic. Now that Sanders has kowtowed, his promises that the organization will challenge the status quo can't be taken seriously. Compounding that is that Jeff Weaver, by creating a 501c4, is preventing the new organization from doing much more than fundraising. This will be another sterile variation of Move On & Democracy for America.

50 Maybe Bernie should have been more direct. Example. This week teach 10 people about the TPP. Send funding to 2 8/28/2016 12:05 AM progressive candidates.
51 I feel he has been threatened. Any who move on blithely are complicit in the tactics used on him. Any girl seeing that 8/27/2016 11:24 PM cheating is how to win at any cost is learning how to be a sociopath.
52 I don't really know the players well enough to understand why have the staff walked out, but that was very 8/27/2016 10:23 PM disappointing for a 'launch' event
53 Good start, but I too, have reservations about Weaver and also, do not like Bernie supporting HRC, who stole the 8/27/2016 10:12 PM nomination from him, and also puzzled by the non support of Canova. So, it has to show me more first.
54 Democracy Now the morning after the event. 8/27/2016 10:09 PM
55 Sanders' decision to drop off his effort in this year's election, coupled with his active support of Hillary Clinton for 8/27/2016 10:04 PM president, is not fully consistent with the idea of "Our Revolution", and makes his launch of the new site somewhat dubious. I am afraid that just like Obama, Sanders may also have channeled the public's deep desire for political reform into something harmless to the status quo, whether intentionally or not. He must prove his bona fide once again before he can be trusted fully as champion for the people.
56 My initial thoughts are that there are many progressive organizations, how will this measure up, compete? I was glad 8/27/2016 9:54 PM to see Bill McKibben there. I remain open-minded.
57 There was no dazzle - It wasn't clear if Bernie would have much of a role. I thought the speakers were almost all very 8/27/2016 9:46 PM weak - lacking people of color, women, excitement. But nothing will happen unless we who listened make it happen -- so we must
58 I am between somewhat and very disappointed. We had the opportunity to change American politics. And Bernie 8/27/2016 9:43 PM caved. I am not sure what we will get with Hillary. More of the f***ing same.
59 I know nothing of what you are doing. 8/27/2016 9:34 PM
60 Do we really need another MoveOn, DFA, PCCC, whatever? No. We need an organization and structure that uses 8/27/2016 9:13 PM Bernie to keep the momentum he created going, and that's not going to happen by bringing in big money and keeping him out of the fray. We needed something that used his database to help candidates up and down the line. He's also left Canova, to use an old Watergate term, swinging in the wind. If Canova loses, Bernie has failed us. It's implicitly saying that staying in the good graces of the Democratic Party was more important. (And I say this as an elected Dem committee person in NY.)
61 It seems to be a duplication of other groups/programs and I have serious concerns with Weaver and the organizations 8/27/2016 9:10 PM 501(c)4 status.
62 Why? 8/27/2016 8:50 PM
63 Our state's Berniecrats aren't listed on OR but some of the people selected may have supported Hillary during the 8/27/2016 8:47 PM primary. So I am unhappy. Also, we need to know how much distance there is between this organizarion and Hillary and the Dems.
64 This movement, and others that might emerge from it, is vital for a revolutionary transformation of the US and the 8/27/2016 8:32 PM world. Peace and planetary survival are at stake.
9 / 31 What's Up With "Our Revolution" SurveyMonkey
65 Irrespective of the drama in the press about the negative launch of Our Revolution, I think many people who 8/27/2016 8:28 PM supported Bernie and were so fervent (and somewhat naive about the political process) have misinterpreted what is taking place. The "Our Revolution" telecast began with a clip from one of Bernie's ads from the campaign that emphasized that all real change happens from the ground up, not the top down. This was reiterated in his comments during the telecast. So what I took away from the event is that we cannot wait for someone or some group at the top to change the direction of our nation. We must do this ourselves by organizing locally and utilizing the organizational skills of the people who were selected to run the nonprofit "Our Revolution" to support and expand the efforts of every local group. "Our Revolution" is the umbrella, not the foot soldiers on the ground. That Bernie selected competent and experienced people to run the organization just shows his commitment to his cause. And for heaven's sake! Stop condemning Bernie for supporting Hillary. Look at what he accomplished even with all the "dirty tricks" of the DNC: many truly progressive positions were adopted if not everything Bernie wanted; millennials and younger potential voters were inspired as never before; and Hillary knows that Bernie and his supporters have been activated and will hold her feet to the fire. The evolution of our nation is happening in a progressive direction, but it will take time. Bernie's request that his supporters vote for Hillary at least gives us the possibility of a space to continue our progressive work. If Hillary is not elected (and we are not at a point in our development yet where a third party is really viable), we will have Trump. Or if he abdicates, Pence. Just the thought of the type of Supreme Court justices they would select should make anyone who is thinking of voting for someone other than Hillary because Bernie didn't win feel fear for the future of what our country can become. Follow Bernie's lead. The movement is about incremental steps to a mighty goal. Nothing can be accomplished overnight. We will create a progressive society and economy through hard work, day by day. Hillary can't stop us and she will is the best vehicle right now for us to use to transport us to our goal.
66 I like the ideas of the Progressive Independent Party. I don't like the idea that big money is going to somehow get 8/27/2016 8:08 PM involved with "Our Revolution." I've heard it both ways, but I tend to believe the people who walked out.
67 Needs to add PEACE component ... we need to pass HR 1111 Barbara Lee's bill to establish a Dept of Peacebulding! 8/27/2016 7:38 PM
68 in the UK we read that Bernie is now backing Hillary against Trump, the Anti-Christ. After all what Bernie said about 8/27/2016 7:35 PM Hillary and Wall St; and all his $27 supporters and young interns and staffers; Bernie is now Clinton Machine Road Kill. Now we read that a lot of his staff have resigned because he has hired a professional campaign `fixer`; a greaser- for-hire. Has Bernie been `turned` by a `horses head in his bed` or an `offer he couldn`t refuse` from the Clinton- Arkansas-Killbillies.
69 I didn't watch it. 8/27/2016 7:09 PM
70 The fact that it is structured as a 501(c)(4) makes it identical to the mechanisms used by big money, SuperPacs and 8/27/2016 7:07 PM the system exploited by Citizens United. What's "revolutionary" about that? It feels like the organization has fallen for the duopoly lie. It is tiptoeing on that slippery slope where money begins to justify the means and the moral argument loses to the "end justifies the means." I think the notion of launching a revolution within a counterrevolutionary party is naïve. The Democratic party proved it does not care about any aspect of Bernie's revolution, the voters who supported it, or seeing any truly progressive movement succeed.
71 Not being privy to all the discussions---or not having taken the time and made the effort to follow what is publicly 8/27/2016 7:04 PM available---I don't know what to think. I guess I'll just wait and see. But after all the money (plus the modicum of 'activism' I contributed to Bernie's campaign) I guess I could say that I'm really disappointed at this stage. I certainly won't donate more money, even if I eventually like the direction Bernie and this "Revolution" are headed in. I'm upset that Bernie lost the nomination, but I'm even more upset that many seemingly illegitimate practices by the DNC, etc., have not been vehemently contested by the Sanders campaign. I'm afraid that he's been swallowed up by the Clinton/DNC machine. Yes, I get it. A Trump victory would be catastrophic. But I still will not vote for HRC. My Illinois vote will be for Jill Stein, as it was for her and other Green candidates in the past 3 (three) elections. Note: I am not a Green Party member...yet.
72 Bernie has endorsed the lesser evil. That means the status quo/corporate coup continues. I'm voting for Jill. I will 8/27/2016 6:56 PM support down ticket progressives tho.
73 I loved Bernie but I DemExited in July when he left the revolution and endorsed Clinton. He gave it up at the 8/27/2016 6:56 PM convention and moved on without me. I won't put any money, time, or heart into Bernie Part 2 as long as he is associated with the corrupt Democratic Party.
74 To depolarize the American society is a Gordian Knot. Will Bernie be the puzzle solver? 8/27/2016 6:46 PM
75 Only a few of Bernie's picks were mentioned. Would you have a complete listing of Progressives he wants to support? 8/27/2016 6:46 PM On a website, perhaps?
76 Worried about Weaver 8/27/2016 6:45 PM
77 I'm dubious of the entire organization... I supported Tim Canova on Sanders recommendation and Sanders seems to 8/27/2016 6:31 PM have hung Canova out to dry. It all smells of Sanders wanting to have a committee chairmanship which the Damnorats are likely to withhold if Canova wins against Debt Trap Debbie Whats-er-name-Schultz.

78 Didn't hear the event in person but heartily agree that grass roots efforts to elect progressives down ticket it key to 8/27/2016 6:31 PM gaining anything in the next 4yr cycle.
79 I respect Senator Sanders and I embrace virtually everything he has fought for in his multi-decade career. I was 8/27/2016 6:23 PM furious to stand by and watch the so called Democratic party systematically destroy his chances for the Presidency. I am convinced that, in the end, the Clintons threatened either Sanders' life or the lives of his family. The Clinton trail is littered with dead bodies. Sanders' progressive revolution will only succeed if the Republicans gain control of the White House. If Clinton is elected we will see eight more years of business---and War---as usual. I am the eleventh generation to operate my family's Farm here in New England. Since the Democratic Convention ended my Farm has been for sale, and my partner and I are headed for either New Zealand or Canada. Jefferson's and Lincoln's vision of a United States Democracy is over.
80 White, white, white. I was surrounded by white, watching a press conference led by mostly white men. And this is one 8/27/2016 6:22 PM of the biggest problems of the "progressive" movement. It doesn't feel inclusive. I doesn't feel "for us, by us" unless you're white. And the candidates they highlighted, white people. The idea is fine. I understand they're trying to keep people engaged after Bernie's campaign. And it's great they're trying to help get progressives elected across the board. But look who they highlighted! White people. I'm sure they're great but it just represents everything I'm saying. Last time I checked, it wasn't white people that made up the most of the people in prisons, poverty, or highly polluted areas. It's people of color. By "our" revolution do they mean the white person's revolution? Because that's what it feels like. Lastly, aren't there other orgs that are already doing this? Why don't they spend some of those millions they raised for his campaign to support those efforts? Frustrated.
81 Bernie is right, if we want to change things in our government, we need to start at the bottom and start putting 8/27/2016 6:18 PM progressives in positions from the bottom on up and we have to get rid of Citzens United..
82 I'm not sure.I really like Bernie,and alot of his ideas,but I like Hillary over him. 8/27/2016 6:11 PM
83 I didn't expect that much. It focuses on electoral politics. That's too bad. We could be organizing renters groups, 8/27/2016 6:11 PM housing for homeless, so many other issues that need to be solved. Electoral politics isn't the only way to go.
84 See next box. 8/27/2016 6:09 PM
85 I got an email an wrote to Bernie stating that the $150 I gave him would like a refund-unless-he UN-ENDORSES 8/27/2016 6:09 PM Hillary Crooked Clinton. PERIOD I also told him that until he does THAT, Bernie voters feel he GAVE up and abandoned the people of America. He's as crooked a politician as ANY other because he said he would NEVER give up. He may have done what did because he was told he'd be JFK'd if he continued fighting Hillary. If so, he SHOULD have stated so on LIVE Criminal Meanstream Media.
86 Leave it to the Left to start dividing and ruin the "revolution." Also, is Bernie now taking on the coloration of the 8/27/2016 6:06 PM centrists?
87 This is for helping progressive candidates. The critiques are ridiculous and need to stop. Bernie is America's hero and 8/27/2016 5:59 PM is doing great things
88 Staff resignations are troubling. 8/27/2016 5:58 PM
89 There were 8 attendees. I liked the grassroots appeal (bottom up). I felt it was perhaps an appeal to get us to support 8/27/2016 5:56 PM Hillary. Hillary support was pretty well split.The event lacked vision and purpose. I wish a structure and plan was presented. I'm sure the Movement has a lot of support. But, it will die on the vine without support for Jill Sanders. I recommended to the group, since we're in California, to send Hillary a message by voting to Stein. Half agreed. I'm willing to try another event. But, it will have to have a discernible purpose. I was fairly disappointed.
90 If Bernie appointed Jeff Weaver, why was Jeff not in attendance to take the Podium to say a few words? 8/27/2016 5:54 PM
91 It's time to break the duopoly 8/27/2016 5:51 PM
92 Only by sustained activity that penetrates all levels of government will be able to make the changes desired. Bernie 8/27/2016 5:50 PM again listed them. The politics of leadership is less important than consistent rallying of progressives.
93 Where does the revolution go from here and what is the next step ? 8/27/2016 5:50 PM
94 I have reservations that the Dems will co-opt this group whether directly or indirectly. I do NOT trust that info and 8/27/2016 5:49 PM membership in this group will be kept away from them. I am also quite unhappy with Weaver's hiring. He left Bernie and went to work for Hillz. Why would he be coming back except to do his best to bring this group to Clinton. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR NOR SUPPORT CLINTON.
95 I'm just glad there is a tangible organization to tap into in order to promote good candidates and issues. I have been 8/27/2016 5:42 PM Tweeting a lot for Tim and donating and I will phone bank for him tomorrow. Thru Twitter I found out about Zephyr and Pramila and got excited about their wins, Tulsi, of course as well. I can't afford to give to all the candidates but Tim is a pivotal one and really anyone running for Congress affects all of us but for the most part I plan to Tweet, give and phone bank mostly for Congressional candidates and issues with a focus on what comes up in my state California.

96 We need a strong leader, the system will not revolutionize itself~! 8/27/2016 5:36 PM
97 I was concerned about no mention of Tim Canova and perplexed about why appointing Weaver to head Our 8/27/2016 5:34 PM Revolution presents such a problem.
98 People spoke afterward "working from within to move the (Dem.) party to the left." - Yeah? Good luck! What I see is 8/27/2016 5:33 PM the RepublicRats leaving THEIR sinking ship to ( with Queen Hillary's blessing-) swarm aboard the former SS ("Slowly Sinking," listing right-) Democratic P. When the Repubs take it over from Wasserman & the Klintons, will anyone notice any difference? They're jettisoning & burning the old GOP Trumpship -- a perfect opportunity to cut loose from the ballast of the unwanted (well-used) Christian& social Right. Now, the Demos can jettison the few struggling Progressives, & all will be happy under the New DNC Corporo- Politburo. One Party, only one set of politicians to pay off... No, I think our only chance is to establish one or two solid third Patties - progressive, libertarian... I imagine: The Silver Dollar Party ( Economic Reform and infrastructure Renewal - pay 50% of all tax rebates in newly reissued 1960's Silver Dollars; The Garden Party, an amalgam of the old Green Party ( anti GMO, anti corlorate agriculture, pro family farms & sane distribution; subsidize communities & local.businesses..); etc. - Lived through the '60's; let's get it right. & TAKE BACK OUR MEDIA. - Sending check.
99 We need a REAL REVOLUTION..not DIMOCRAPS and CAMPAIGN PROMISES. and oh....who believes BERNIE? He 8/27/2016 5:32 PM endorsed hitlery and the dimocraps.
100 Weaver is of course the biggest question, after seeming pro Hillary one has to wonder what the direction will be. 8/27/2016 5:28 PM Anything that promotes down ballot progressives, greens, social democrats, is a good thing in my mind.
101 Did not participate, but think the idea is good even with some of the organizational and leadership challengees 8/27/2016 5:27 PM reported in the news.
102 Bill McKibben was too low key and uninspiring. Bernie talked too long congratulating his campaign and giving his 8/27/2016 5:25 PM stump speech. Shannon Jackson was nervous and clearly in over his head. With Jeff Weaver running this thing, I don't have much hope for it. He is too top down; they're going after dark money; and they will probably ignore super volunteers and grassroots activists on the ground. I was actually thinking of writing an article on my impressions of the group. Lauren Steiner
103 Jeff Weaver stays and Tim Canova gets kicked to the curb; I'm out. The clintons have penetrated the revolution. 8/27/2016 5:25 PM
104 I did not think enough time was given at the event for the leaders of the new organization to explain their agenda. 8/27/2016 5:24 PM
105 Honestly, I'm still recovering from Bernie endorsing Hillary. I get the idea of the revolution but the transition was poorly 8/27/2016 5:18 PM handled ( for my sensibilities )
106 He should have knee capped dws. I used to like her now she has to go... 8/27/2016 5:16 PM
107 Bernie didn't talk much about foreign policy and militarism during his campaign. I expectted OR to deal with our never 8/27/2016 5:09 PM ending wars, but not a word about that. What about bottom up organizing - not a word. What about diversity of leadership - three white men???
108 No mention of endless wars and danger/expense/immorality of US aggressive foreign policy. 8/27/2016 5:09 PM
109 I do not want to donate any way shape or form to the DNC. I will keep abreast of the organization and where I deem 8/27/2016 5:07 PM fit, I will donate. I did do an initial donation to kick start the organization.
110 It Will encourage people to get involved and stay informed about issues,candidates.. Will they have enough to keep 8/27/2016 5:06 PM going, how the funds will be raised? $27.00 at a time? Will they accept $$$$$from corporation? Thank you Bernie for inspiring us. It is going to be a battle? With the corruptDNC will people have faith in the party?
111 I am eager to get to work with grassroots organizing to take back our "government by the people" at every level from 8/27/2016 5:05 PM school board through national.
112 We can not make the same mistakes that Barack made and not stay connected to his constituency. The revolution is 8/27/2016 5:05 PM now and if WE want to see it through, it takes commitment. Bernie woke us up, now we have to stay awake!
113 really liked the message and intent. Keeping an eye on it since Bernie won't be actively taking part in the organization 8/27/2016 5:05 PM and why it was registered as a 501c.
114 definitely NOT sure if I take to the idea of Jeff Weaver being the President of "Our Revolution"...if devoted staff who 8/27/2016 4:55 PM honor Bernie Sanders...did not feel comfortable working with him. Also, want clarification on whether Weaver is, indeed...going after donations from billionaires...as that is in 360 degree opposition, to everything on Bernie Sanders platform...and would immediately alienate "Berners"!
115 I didn't see it because the "watch party" I was invited to occurred during the work day. 8/27/2016 4:54 PM
12 / 31 What's Up With "Our Revolution" SurveyMonkey
116 I am inspired, and also aware of the concerns about Jeff Weaver stepping in to head the organization. The crucial 8/27/2016 4:53 PM point for me in the whole Bernie phenomena is his insistence that the movement is more important than the man. The movement is healthy and energized. I lack the detailed insider knowledge to evaluate Mr. Weaver, and I see the concern about the 501c4. But there's nothing in any of that right now that guarantees the organization will be co-opted by big money. Of course, it could. But the intelligence and energy I've seen in the movement gives me reason to expect that won't happen We'll see if I'm right.
117 A continuation of his vision forour country that its our country and ee deserve political candidates that are progressive 8/27/2016 4:52 PM invested and focused on serving the interest of the people the 99% the1% is doing just fine the redt of us need champions working just ad hard for our interest: environmental social racial economic justice for all otherwise we continue livingin a Plutocracy where Orlighary reigns supreme.
118 It was a nice farewell performance by Bernie. But the details of the functioning of the organization - and reflections on 8/27/2016 4:46 PM the criticism by those who resigned - needed to be a big part of the event or else needed to be mentioned and the audience told that that material would be forthcoming soon.
119 I think veering away from small individual contribution$ is a bad idea. 8/27/2016 4:43 PM
120 Best guess is that the controversy centers on the fact that Weaver is a bit of a pit bull, who although having served 8/27/2016 4:43 PM Bernie and us well in standing up to the continued attacks from the DNC and HRC's henchmen, may have also have come across as too controlling for many - if not most of the rest of Bernie's core campaign staff /volunteers. The fact that it seems that it was Jane - who is definitely no pit bull - who finally sought to bring him back into this new organization, seems to indicate that the former roll of serving as both as an undeniably good lawyer, knowledge-based debater, and visually very effective firewall against never the never-ending attempts to both sabotage and delegitimatize Bernie and this movement was deemed to be of triage importance right now. ;( ;(
121 I work and attend classes in the evenings, as well as go to the gym. Scheduling something on a weeknight is not good 8/27/2016 4:43 PM for my schedule.
122 I am recharged and ready to help! 8/27/2016 4:42 PM
123 Hated the system of big donor money - one of the principals of the revolution was small donor based. Also we do not 8/27/2016 4:40 PM have control over who Our Revolution decides to support - not interested in that movement.
124 Having so many staff quit was unfortunate Weaver is not a good choice to lead 8/27/2016 4:39 PM
125 Noticed lack of Tim Canova, heard about 501c4 SuperPac and most staff quitting over Jeff Weaver. Our group all 8/27/2016 4:37 PM seemed to have mixed feelings about the launch. I decided to participate in easy ways, but not to donate or do any active work until I know more about what it is and wants to do.
126 I signed on to their email list. I don't know what to expect. I'll wait and see what comes of it. The Occupy Wall Street 8/27/2016 4:35 PM movement shunned the idea of leaders and leadership, but it soon unraveled. I'm hoping the Bernie movement will have greater staying power.
127 Bernie not running it leaves me cold. Personally I think with all the donors emails. you would be a lot better off, if you 8/27/2016 4:35 PM contacted all when a bill was coming up that we all needed to contact our representatives about. Our Revolution now reminds me of the extreme right only being the extreme left. No one cares about extremists, POLICIES are what it's about. I'm not happy to donate to a bunch of Bernie supporters, only to Bernie and I don't have much to donate. I see this as dying on the vine. Bernie and his policies live on in our hearts, only he can keep us organized as a group.
128 I still feel the BERN but his support of HRC has hurt somewhat. 8/27/2016 4:32 PM
129 I think it is great though I have serious reservations and concerns. I welcome any movement that purports to discuss 8/27/2016 4:31 PM the very serious issues we face, especially when the Democratic and Republican Parties specifically lead all conversation away from important issues, especially since in all respects they are directly responsible for where we are. However, this "Our Whatever" seems to me a near-pathetic charade entirely constructed to lead as many of Bernie's followers as possible back to the Democratic Party and directly to Clinton. No "Revolution" of the people can legitimately exist while utterly and exhaustively ignoring our murderous war-first politics and economy, Jill Stein, the Green Party, and other third party concerns. I think this iteration of "Our Revolution" is completely fake.
130 There was no real enthusiasm coming from Bernie whatsoever. It sounded like a somewhat disjointed, canned speech 8/27/2016 4:30 PM that repeated all of his familiar refrains from his campaign trail, except it lacked any real warmth, friendliness or real sincerity. I was nonplussed! He did not answer ANY of the concerns that his avid followers have been waiting for him to explain, such as why he let Hillary et al WALK ALL OVER HIM AT THE CONVENTION, OR AT THE VERY LEAST HIS SUPPORTERS,!! I mean WTF.?? I gave plenty more cash than I should have! I thought we all deserved an explanation about his cave-in, asking us to vote for the She Devil??? Ummm no!
131 Too much bowing down to Hillary. So disappointed! Starting to GI against core principles by accepting corporate 8/27/2016 4:26 PM donors.
13 / 31 What's Up With "Our Revolution" SurveyMonkey
132 Love the idea, but not the commotion Jeff Weaver is causing. He is too pro-Hillary and I think Bernies' weakness is a 8/27/2016 4:24 PM misplaced loyalty in Weaver. Putting Weaver in charge of fundraising for big money leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Fizzled my enthusiasm.
133 I was inspired by Bernie as always, but worry about the lack of social media contact and follow up. There needs to be 8/27/2016 4:24 PM a concerted effort to get people involved now before they drift away.
134 The formal Our Revolution launch seems to marry progressive ideas to solely Democratic candidates. I am very 8/27/2016 4:23 PM disappointed that this effort seems aimed at channeling funds and energy into reforming the Democratic party. I would prefer if the organization focused on issues and candidates outside of party politics. Supporting the right Democrats is fine, but I want to see support for Greens, Socialists, Independents and others.
135 Sanders sold out, 501c money. And becoming part of the corrupt DNC machine. Disgusting. 8/27/2016 4:21 PM
136 I don't know who said it, but "it's not a perfect world." We don't live in a time that allows us to be finicky about our 8/27/2016 4:19 PM politics. We need to get moving and I'm backing "Our Revolution" because it's the logical place to start. Of course questions could pop up that would change my mind, but not yet. Brand New Congress is good, too. Can the two entities work together? Let's hope so or our dream will die. Courage Campaign. Move-On.Org. There're lots of well- intentioned people out there working on a better, more progressive future. Let's hope we can all work together and not pick each other apart.
137 I know we must continue forging ahead and stay together in order to push "establishment" democrats toward progress. 8/27/2016 4:18 PM They are so mired in the sludge of corrupt campaign money it is difficult for them to extricate themselves, so they need a pull in the progressive direction.
138 I am a fraud that the #OurRevolution event and Idea is a means of manipulating progressives into staying with the 8/27/2016 4:17 PM Democratic party. the Democratic party just brazenly stole our election to support a neo conservative, neo liberal, war criminal. The Democratic party has fraudulently nominated the most corrupt, and bloodyhanded monster to ever aspire to the office of POTUS. I will not be joining #OurRevolution, but will be focusing on how we can drain the DNC of its membership and give rise to a party that actually support the people rather than corporate pillage. No, thank you.
139 Bernie lost me when he endorsed the career criminal Hillary Clinton 8/27/2016 4:16 PM
140 The Revolution must distance itself completely from the DNC or I will not have anything to do with it. I do not agree 8/27/2016 4:16 PM with BERNIE that TRUMP is more of a threat than Hillary: 1. Hillary will create more war in the Ukraine, Libya, Syria and Africa in general. 2. She will not SAY "I will VETO the TPP!" 3. She is pro Wall Street 4. Pro PNAC NEOCON CFR 5. She is anti-whistle-blower protection. 6. Anti Free Speech 7. Pro Internet Censorship ... VOTE JILL STEIN
141 It's a good start towards movement development but I'm an experienced activist. I wanted to be able to connect with 8/27/2016 4:15 PM other Bernie supporters in my area, to build at the local level, there was no mechanism yet for that. Bernie also didn't give credit to all the other people and groups who have been active before and during his campaign. Lots of us have already supported Russ F and Zephyr, they are not new to lots of us. And yes, he omitted Tim Canova.
142 No mention of Tim Canova? What's up with that? 8/27/2016 4:11 PM
143 The name ..it's not radical enough to attract young people 8/27/2016 4:10 PM

2 I don't know enough of the behind the scenes specifics to know if 'dark money donors' haven't already contributed. 8/29/2016 10:58 PM
3 I was not aware that "dark money" would be allowed. If so, it should be disallowed. 8/29/2016 6:19 PM
4 Didn't really give a shit (see above). 8/29/2016 1:29 PM
5 I recognize that just because a 501(c)(4) allows for dark money this does not mean accepting such money will 8/28/2016 8:26 PM necessarily occur. But provisions could have been added separately to disallow dark money had they wished to do so (as I understand it).
6 Yes. That is not their plan 8/28/2016 4:14 PM
7 I await the day for George Clooney to host a $100,000 a plate dinner at his home as a benefit to 'Our Revolution' to 8/28/2016 3:07 PM redeem himself.
8 Not the specifics but knew there were some concerns about donations. There are progressive interest groups so it 8/28/2016 2:58 PM may be necessary to get outside money. I do think that the disclosure of large contributions should be disclosed.
9 see above 8/28/2016 2:43 PM
10 All 501c4s allow this. They can choose to disclose everything anyway. 8/28/2016 11:50 AM

11 I am now. 8/28/2016 11:14 AM
12 I was not aware at the time but following closely info now. 8/28/2016 8:24 AM
13 If someone with big money donates, but HAS NO POLITICAL OR ECONOMIC benefit expected from the donation-- 8/28/2016 8:20 AM i.e., is doing it because of wanting only to further the cause of the Revolution, then the money should not be excluded.
14 I suspected that dark money would infiltrate this and any organization that might gain some power. The prospect is 8/28/2016 6:09 AM troubling, but it is more about the nature of the danger of money in politics than it is about "Our Revolution."
15 I have certainly been very critical of "dark money" and continue to work at least for disclosure in the short run, 8/28/2016 3:00 AM repealing Citizen's United in the mid term, and working toward public financing whenever possible. I work hard to combat control by big money, "dark" or otherwise. However, I am concerned that we do not yet know the facts about the campaign and "dark money", much less about big, non-"dark",money.
16 This Jeff Weaver's attempt to turn Bernie into another ATM machine for dubiously "progressive" campaigns. 8/28/2016 12:39 AM
17 The 401.c4 status is not helpful to down ticket races. It also is opposed to the Sanders model of campaigning. We can 8/27/2016 11:24 PM see the establishmentarianism in the 'movement'. The essence is gone.
18 Yes, and I am NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL. 8/27/2016 10:12 PM
19 I don't trust any politician. The system is a scam. 8/27/2016 9:34 PM
20 I wold need more concrete evidence of this stance. 8/27/2016 9:15 PM
21 I keep pressing in yes I was aware and your survey is automatically changing it to other. 8/27/2016 9:13 PM
22 Those always surround any group that actually does things 8/27/2016 7:41 PM
23 Bernie represents Vermont; sounds like he would be better in `Tax-Dodging Delaware`. 8/27/2016 7:35 PM
24 We understand that *some* money is necessary to get your ideas known to the People. The problem is when some 8/27/2016 6:46 PM foreign corporation donates (Is it still OUR country?) or when our donations get totally dwarfed by corporation donors to the point that ours become irrelevant. I understand that Jeff Weaver is at the center of this and I'm concerned: The day you start accepting large donations from corporation is the day Our Revolution loses its edge.
25 B 8/27/2016 6:45 PM
26 The strife in personnel over Jeff Weaver's installation is very telling 8/27/2016 6:23 PM
27 Not until I heard about 8 staffers quiting. I watched Amy Goodman interview the young woman and the new person 8/27/2016 6:15 PM replacing her. I resonated with her response more than Cohen's. His answer re the 503 or whatever was unresponsive and to me very "clintonesque"
28 Since Jeff Weaver came onboard and made it a 501c4, 'Our Revolution' is dead to me. I'm off to the Workers World 8/27/2016 6:09 PM Party, and hope the Dem Party crashes and burns before it damages the country and the world too much more.
29 A little on the fence. However, we need YUGE donations from HONEST PROGRESSIVE corporations to fund all the 8/27/2016 5:54 PM candidates for the next 2 years. Not all corporations are dirty.
30 Yes. I don't really worry about this. I'm more like whatever. There's a good reason Bernie would allow this. I trust his 8/27/2016 5:42 PM judgment and I don't fault him. He has survived in government on the fringe for many years sticking to his "socialist" moniker and he could only do this thru compromise. I love him. The people who dropped out I love as well but I think they are being a bit reactionary. You have to compromise in life. But I do think maybe Weaver is not the best choice as I have had inklings before that he is not good (I am refraining from using a pejorative term). I listened to Bernie's history with Weaver with interest. I think maybe he was chosen because he also, a bit more conservative than most of the rest of us is more pragmatic which is a necessary quality for survival. It's easy to be emotional and righteous but like I said compromise is the name of the game in politics. Remember how the jerkyHouse reps booed him? Remember his face? Remember the gash on the side of it at the Convention?
31 It is my intention than money will no longer be "dark." Transparency is necessary to keep the reigns of government in 8/27/2016 5:05 PM the hands of the people. Overturn Citizen's United - Require all large donations be declared and transparent.
32 Bernie's organization's working with billionaire Tom Steyer is not really accepting "dark money", as Steyer's Next Gen 8/27/2016 4:43 PM is already centered on climate change - an issue that both Our Rev and Steyer feel passionately about.
33 Sometimes corporations have to be socially responsible. I believe that if the donation is disclosed, it's not really that 8/27/2016 4:43 PM dark.
34 As of now, the true full story of this is undetermined and SOME of the information "out there" is incorrect. I require 8/27/2016 4:42 PM more information and will not be prejudicial in my response.

35 We need an organized and effective 3rd choice. I don't know how else a progressive can effect a win without 8/27/2016 4:37 PM resources. As long as whomever buys in is buying into principles that aren't for sale, take the money. If dark money wants in, shine some light on it. Accept it. Accrue interest while it sits in a review board. And send it back less fees for administrative purposes of there are strings. Sounds like the American way to do business to me.
36 Their choice to allow "dark money" completely undermines my support. They are merely more of the same, different 8/27/2016 4:31 PM label. This is exactly how they betray us. We are not all fools.
37 Yes, I've heard that's why the walkout. However, I've also heard it isn't true. Jane Sanders tweeted it wasn't what they 8/27/2016 4:24 PM were doing. Also read some information where they hope to get some bigger donations from Unions, that kind of thing, but not targeting big $ . Besides how many of the people who donate that type of big money want to support candidates who are generally not favorable to them ?
38 I know that there has been controversy around the continuation of the Sanders' movement. Some progressives feel 8/27/2016 4:22 PM "betrayed" by Sanders' endorsement of Hillary Clinton for President.
39 YES and get rid of Weaver ... and ties to oligarchs 8/27/2016 4:16 PM

1 Bernie Sanders' long history in public service outweighs criticism of HIM: the criticism is at the system, which cannot - 8/30/2016 9:05 AM can NEVER - be changed from within. And it doesn't matter how much "dark money" anyone manages to get, the oligarchy has it ALL. In fact, the establishment donors would be glad to donate a few million to keep the Berners occupied to no effect wouldn't they?
2 I love Bernie. He needs to do things in the way that is right for him. He can't be all things to all people. If he never 8/29/2016 8:26 PM does another thing then I will always be grateful to him. I do wish he would have trusted and invested more in the way the grassroots can and will do things.
3 I think it will alter the nature of the programs; it is therefore a change that should have been discussed. 8/29/2016 3:38 PM
4 This makes movement without difference to HRC and open to intervention by those causing most damage to country. 8/29/2016 3:26 PM Not compatible with goals.
5 As far as I am concerned, he is not legitimate. End of story. 8/29/2016 2:24 PM
6 This is called trying to control the narrative by concern trolling those criticisms you'd prefer to face. 8/29/2016 1:29 PM

8 I don't blame Bernie because I believe he has been given no choice. I blame the political establishment. 8/29/2016 3:48 AM
9 It's not corporate money so much is it is what politicians sell in order to get their support. All corporations are not the 8/28/2016 10:41 PM same and if some want to fight those corporations still highly invested in carbon fuel and global warming, I wouldn't turn down their money.
19 / 31 What's Up With "Our Revolution" SurveyMonkey
10 i strongly feel that the acceptance of dark money violates a central, fundamental principle that is now violated. Now 8/28/2016 8:26 PM there is not a single presidential candidate--including Jill Stein of the Green Party--that simply refused corporate money in some form or other. I will wait and see but i am very skeptical of this process.
11 Our Revolution can decline any contribution as it sees fit. One size here does not fit all. 8/28/2016 5:54 PM
12 I'm not sure where he stands 8/28/2016 5:19 PM
13 See my comments above. "By their fruits you shall know them." 8/28/2016 4:56 PM
14 I trust Bernie. Bernie trusts Jeff. I trust the goals of Ourrevolution 8/28/2016 4:14 PM
15 To be precise I am more concerned about people like Jeff Weaver rather than Bernie himself. 8/28/2016 3:31 PM
16 Bernie is the only trust worthy candidate in this election cycle! 8/28/2016 3:09 PM
17 Bernie has such a long history of remaining true to his fundamental principles; I have no fear that he will remain son. 8/28/2016 2:43 PM Benie also has a long history of working within the system to create positive change and I assume he had this in mind when appointing Jeff. All Bernie supporters are suffering from disillusionment right now, trying to follow the new path and needing to know that their work and their resources were not given in vain.
18 This does not influence me one way or the other. 8/28/2016 11:14 AM
19 As long as the candicismsdates selected are honest to golly progressive, I could care less 8/28/2016 9:50 AM
20 I trust Senator Sanders. His convictions have not been swayed over the years he has been in public office. If some 8/28/2016 9:26 AM "dark money" is needed to effect the change in government that we so desperately need, then I trust he won't sell out to whomever contributes to his campaign.
21 It is a function of the group. Bernie has less control. 8/28/2016 8:24 AM
22 I'm going to need more information before making an assessment. 8/28/2016 6:56 AM
23 I will always look for the corrupting effect of money. 8/28/2016 6:09 AM
24 "Just the facts, ma'am". Then, go from there. 8/28/2016 3:00 AM
25 Bernie will remain Bernie. I don't know Weaver well enough to have an opinion about him. 8/28/2016 1:49 AM
26 Haven't formed an opinion on this. Waiting for more information. 8/28/2016 12:44 AM
27 Bernie may not think he's selling out, but this new direction will assure it. 8/28/2016 12:39 AM
28 I think his star has occluded, we are as before, alone and in the dark. 8/27/2016 11:24 PM
29 They went more mainstream by setting up a non-profit. Jeff Weaver has worked with Bernie for a very long time. If the 8/27/2016 10:49 PM staff members start a new group my preference will be with the new group they create.
30 Money for influence is the problem, not simply money from the wealthy or corporations. If corporations want to donate 8/27/2016 10:19 PM money to support an anti corporate agenda ( ditto billionaires to support an anti inequality agenda), why refuse their support? If Citizens United is removed, why would this be a problem anyway?
31 I don't know what you are talking about. Bernie is out of the race and hasn't ask for a penny. I wouldn't give a dime to 8/27/2016 9:34 PM actblue for anyone.
32 I'm concerned about the development but continue to hold Bernie Sanders in very high regard. 8/27/2016 9:32 PM
33 I'm a woman and want more women elected, but I want the best qualified person, regardless of gender. Dark money, 8/27/2016 9:13 PM even coming from "the good guys", is a mistake. In CD 1 in NY a true progressive lost the primary by about 5o votes after Emily's List poured $3/4 mil into the campaign at the last minute to elect a woman. And rather than learn about the candidates, women just followed Emily's List and we ended up with someone whom environmentalists would rather have Lee Zeldin over her, and her biggest donor was Republican Mike Bloomberg. WTF.
34 I definitely will not donate to "Our Revolution." I am very critical of Bernie in that he has fallen in line with the corporate 8/27/2016 8:08 PM democrats who are helping to ruin this country.
35 Bernie, is a man of integrity...compassion....The rest is pure bull shit. 8/27/2016 7:47 PM
36 The main reason to allow 501c4 donations is to provide Tax Deductablity- Congress could change this part of Citizens 8/27/2016 7:41 PM United w/ simple legislation.
37 My concern is that Sanders is on a provisional kill list and is not at liberty to act as he would prefer. 8/27/2016 7:34 PM
38 I am going Green Party. I do not take orders from anyone, not even Bernie, on how to vote. I wholeheartedly 8/27/2016 7:07 PM supported Bernie during his campaign, but I'm not a devotee and he's no guru.
20 / 31 What's Up With "Our Revolution" SurveyMonkey
39 It is definitely a bad development. My suggestions is that you put a ceiling on corporate donations, irrespective of the 8/27/2016 6:46 PM SCOTUS decision. You can do it: It is YOUR revolution too, like a private club(?)
40 Bernie Sanders is an honest and ethical politician and these "criticisms" are uncalled for. If anyone is unethical, it's 8/27/2016 6:42 PM DWS and the DNC along with Hillary Clinton. We need more progressive candidates and we need to take our country back.
41 very much so 8/27/2016 6:23 PM
42 Again, getting rid of Citizens United is the key. 8/27/2016 6:18 PM
43 It is beginning to look like spin 8/27/2016 6:17 PM
44 From what Bernie said, as I understand, was that he would not be involved because it would be a conflict of interest to 8/27/2016 6:15 PM his role as a state senator.
45 I hate corporation and their money spent to negate the voices of real Citizens. 8/27/2016 6:11 PM
46 Bernie is not a socialist and this is not a "revolution". So sometimes I just don't expect that much. However, if it's true 8/27/2016 6:11 PM that "dark money" donors begin to get involved I will probably not continue working with this.
47 I know Bernie has always been far more of a 'dealer' than he is portrayed by those who dislike him, but this was a deal 8/27/2016 6:09 PM too far. Even if, at this point, Hillary is actually forced out by WikiLeaks revelations and the Party ends up running Bernie as the nominee, I suspect I'll be voting Moorehead/Lilly in 2016.
48 I got an email an wrote to Bernie stating that the $150 I gave him would like a refund-unless-he UN-ENDORSES 8/27/2016 6:09 PM Hillary Crooked Clinton. PERIOD I also told him that until he does THAT, Bernie voters feel he GAVE up and abandoned the people of America. He's as crooked a politician as ANY other because he said he would NEVER give up. He may have done what did because he was told he'd be JFK'd if he continued fighting Hillary. If so, he SHOULD have stated so on LIVE Criminal Meanstream Media.
49 Only UPSTANDING corporations can be allowed to fund YUGE donations. NO COMPANIES IN THE DRUG & 8/27/2016 5:54 PM FOSSIL FUEL industry.
50 I explained my thoughts above. Bernie has his reasons. We have to be practical, pragmatic, realistic. I myself can't 8/27/2016 5:42 PM give give give so if some like-minded wealthy Dem wants to stoke the fires with a generous donation, good.
51 Bernie proved that HE can do it without PAC money, but the political reality is that not everyone can do that... and they 8/27/2016 5:23 PM shouldn't have to. It should not be this hard to run for office and win.
52 I admire Sanders 8/27/2016 5:18 PM
53 So many progressive organizations are making a difference already.will Bernie's revolution be able to raise funds 8/27/2016 5:06 PM 27.00 or !ore at a time. Already common dreams who struggles raising $$$ was threatened by big donors because they were not covering enough HRC and mentioning BERNIE so they stop their funding .if you accept $$$ from big donors will it be the same.
54 nothing on Bernie since he's not actively participating in/running the organization. 8/27/2016 5:05 PM
55 it is more about Jeff Weaver and how he would operate this organization...will it be a 'top down' model or a 'bottom up' 8/27/2016 4:55 PM model. I know Bernie Sanders would opt for the later!
56 Who knows what part Bernie played in the decision. 8/27/2016 4:46 PM
57 I trust Bernie's judgment but I worry that he will co-opted. (I believe he was chiseled out of a legitimate win by the 8/27/2016 4:43 PM way).
58 Unfortunately, we cannot keep them completely out. They can be helpful if we work with them and make sure they are 8/27/2016 4:43 PM held accountable for how they try to influence other public policies that negatively affect voters.
59 As of now, the true full story of this is undetermined and SOME of the information "out there" is incorrect. I require 8/27/2016 4:42 PM more information and will not be prejudicial in my response.
60 I don't understand Bernie - what has changed with him - was he threatened? 8/27/2016 4:40 PM
61 I am unconcerned about Bernie Sanders himself, but therefore have reservations about Our Revolution. 8/27/2016 4:37 PM
62 United States, LLC. That's what Bernie is up against. That's what puttied Obama's sharp points. We need to keep the 8/27/2016 4:37 PM dark money elite in the light. We have to deal with them because they are in every system so deeply intrenched we can't even see that their parasitic presence.

65 He has utterly betrayed my support. Nothing he says now matters. 8/27/2016 4:31 PM
66 Bernie will do what he has always done and has a record to prove. He will outlast fly-by-night critics who aren't getting 8/27/2016 4:24 PM their way and don't like Jeff Weaver. Jeff Weaver has been with Bernie since he was 18 years old. The critics say he can't manage a campaign, yet somehow they've managed to win 13 or 14 times over the years. Sounds like all the problems stem largely from personality conflicts. I love most Progressive ideas but Progressive political activists have a little difficulty tolerating any of us who don't see everything exactly their way. They are young and valuable and it will be their world, but it would be foolish not to realize there is more than one way to skin a catfish.
67 I am concerned about the "dark money" issues, and other issues as well. I am disturbed by the influence of the 8/27/2016 4:22 PM "Move-On" organization on former Sanders' supporters. I strongly oppose Move-On's strategy of disrupting Trump rallies, etc.--often violently! Such tactics will have major repercussions, including strengthening Trump's support, and, in the event of a Trump loss, a terrible backlash against the Establishment in the Democratic and Republican parties! We shall see real revolution and acts of violence, even terrorism, such as we have not seen in the US since the 1890s- -with the Haymarket riot, the Pinkertons, the Homestead strike, etc. We need a lot more dialogue, and our Mainstream Media has abandoned the role of news-gathering and truth-telling in order to indulge in petty name-calling exercises, gross exaggeration and misrepresentation.
68 Let's hope he doesn't sell out to big corporate interests. I would be surprised if he did. 8/27/2016 4:19 PM
69 I don't believe Bernie has requested the dark money and will not allow it to corrupt him. He has made it 30 years in 8/27/2016 4:18 PM politics without being corrupted and will not be deterred from our forward goals in order to fund his Revolution.
70 A 501c3 can't get political, so they have to do it this way, as long as the organization is affiliated with the Democratic 8/27/2016 4:17 PM party, it is suspect to corruption anyway.
71 I don't understand how Bernie could have allowed Jeff Weaver to establish "Our Revolution" on the basis of dark 8/27/2016 4:14 PM money and the 501c concepts that seem to run so counter to Bernie's $27.00 campaign message to get big money out of politics. I long for an explanation from Bernie.
72 You have to fight fire with fire and Bernie and Our Revolution are doing the right thing. 8/27/2016 4:09 PM
73 The movement will inevitably be monetized, naive to assume otherwise. 8/27/2016 4:06 PM

16 I strongly believe elections, voters, and politicians are not relevant to how the global system works. It is what it is and it 8/29/2016 2:24 PM is time to understand "it" for what it is.Gene Sharp may be relevant in these times.
17 I am MOTIVATED! I plan on doing everything I can to support both movements by donating my time and what little 8/29/2016 1:44 PM money I have, canvassing, and calling my neighbors to motivate them especially in my black community! THIS Revolution is the ONLY one that is addressing the many racial issues WE face and not COMPLETELY IGNORING US!
18 Hell no. From now on Bernie can stay the hell out of the Democratic Party. Good riddance. 8/29/2016 1:29 PM

23 I'm not sure that I will directly participate in any of these programs. I will, however, do my best to promote and 8/29/2016 8:35 AM participate in truly progressive political goals. Bernie Sanders, despite rhetoric, is not a true progressive.
24 I am weary of many ways that the People's wants and needs are brushed aside wishes of the rich, powerful, and well 8/29/2016 7:31 AM connected moved forward.

25 Revolution is dead when Bernie supported a corrupted candidate 8/29/2016 5:11 AM
26 Some 8/29/2016 4:38 AM
27 I am still giving "Brand New Congress" a look/chance but have no interest in "Our Revolution" as I believe it is anything 8/29/2016 3:48 AM but.
28 I hope that our revolution will bring epic changes to our political system and eventually see the corrupt two-party 8/28/2016 10:42 PM political system eliminated where we will establish a government for the people, not for money
29 I am working on a concept I call Focused Crowd Funding, where a large number of some group like targeted teachers 8/28/2016 10:41 PM who are financially unable to defend themselves against LAUSD attacks can in the aggregate come up with enough money to litigate against LAUSD or other well financed public and corporate entities that until now can bleed longer than progressives in purposefully protracted legal actions designed to stall and bleed opposition to being able to bring about change. Whether or not our courts are still a neutral forum is a big question, but at the very least such litigation will serve as a mechanism to educate the public in a manner we can no longer depend on commercial or corporate dominated foundations at NPR to allow us unbias reporting.
30 I will continue to work for progressive political change in my city, county, state, and the nation. 8/28/2016 8:56 PM
31 I want to hear more from others who attended "Our Revolution" events and read comments from this survey. Thank 8/28/2016 8:26 PM you Dick and Sharon for doing this!

45 I'm time-limited but want to hear more what the young people want (I'm 70) in each of these groups and hope we can 8/28/2016 2:58 PM bring them together and coalesce into a political force. Unless we want an armed revolution, we need the political revolution to work. I'm hoping to have time to work to bring some coordination amongst the groups.
46 I will continue to support both groups in various ways. My reason for this is fear. By not doing anything to counteract 8/28/2016 2:43 PM the horrible condition we find our nation in, we have waved the white flag of surrender. I am not ready for that and don't think other Bernie Sanders supporters are either. I suspect we will keep attempting to make change, but am sad that the high energy of the primaries is no longer present.
47 Not as it is. Bernie needs to make changes or it's a bust. 8/28/2016 1:52 PM

63 I am currently giving small donations to progressives across this country. I will make phone calls. Since I am 69 I will 8/28/2016 9:26 AM not be doing any marches or sit-ins, but will help where I can.
64 I'm getting up there in age and have problems with mobility but I'll support all of these efforts financially and on line as 8/28/2016 8:32 AM much as I can.
65 Very involved. 8/28/2016 8:24 AM
66 Continuing to support the cause through social media & donations as I am able. 8/28/2016 8:20 AM
67 I won't be as passionately involved asI have been with Bernie'scampaign. I initially decided to roll my monthly 8/28/2016 8:16 AM sustaining contribution for Bernie into Our Revolution, but I am now considering pulling it out. I'll give it a little more time & watch more carefully, but the fire in my heart is gone, not because Bernie lost, but because he doesn't explain.
68 Marginally while working more from outside the system 8/28/2016 7:34 AM
69 Have and will continue to donate money Will look for ways to support progressive candidates across the country--local 8/28/2016 7:21 AM as well as national
70 I will watch for news and write or call on issues identified by OR as critical issues. I'm currently working to elect a 8/28/2016 6:56 AM progressive Democrat, not identified by OR for a congressional seat.
71 I'm an observer most of the time. When an opportunity to do something comes, I'll do it. 8/28/2016 6:55 AM

73 No 8/28/2016 6:12 AM
74 Not at all , I am done 8/28/2016 6:11 AM
75 I will give full support. I feel that your so-called "poll" is really a push poll. You are more interested in discrediting Our 8/28/2016 6:09 AM Revolution than in finding out what I think. I think, that in all probability, there is dark money behind your organization. Having said that, I appreciate your bringing up this issue. Money must be put back into its place. It should serve man, not have man serve it as is now done.
76 NEVER 8/28/2016 6:04 AM
77 I no longer trust it. My new hope is going Green. We can not make change in the corrupt Democratic Party. 8/28/2016 5:33 AM
78 I am for this. The news media has a big influence on who reads what, who gets elected, how things are presented 8/28/2016 5:26 AM negative/positive. They are biased and crooked at times. It, again, is all about the money. How many newspapers are sold. They care about nothing else except the money! I am looking forward to continued information from you.
79 I will support it in every way. 8/28/2016 5:24 AM
80 Wait and see 8/28/2016 5:20 AM
81 I will continue to support progressive ideas and those who espouse them. But I am disappointed in a movement that 8/28/2016 4:52 AM does not answer all relevant questions. Bernie’s capitulation was sudden and obviously not expected. What did they do to accomplish this? Why is eternal war and the MIC not addressed?
82 Yes I would like to do more to get more progressive elect to office. From the bottom up...But I also would like to the 8/28/2016 3:22 AM progressive break away from the DCC all together, The DNC know long has values of the DNC either, they have gone to far to the right and watches out for the wealthy and big corportion needs and wants and not of the people needs or wants or the country for that matter
83 As Bernie has said repeatedly, this campaign is not about him. This is even much more the case, now that he's no 8/28/2016 3:00 AM longer a candidate. The labels "Our Revolution", "Brand New Congress", etc are not to my liking. I think such labels do not do service to the movement. Nevertheless, it is a hyuuge challenge to keep the grassroots movement going, especially after November.I see myself participating to keep the movement going - on all the "big issues", each of which, to me, seems close to a tipping point.

86 If he leaves Canova out to dry, I'll take it as a sign that this is just this generation's version of DFA, i.e. a "reform the 8/28/2016 2:02 AM DNC from within" entity whose main purpose is actually counter-revolutionary.
87 Local resistance to Developer and City Hall destruction of minority communities was happening long before the 8/28/2016 1:49 AM Sanders campaign to win the Democratic nomination for President. So were local fights against toxic poison in disproportionately-affected minority communities. Most Bernie supporters are completely out of touch with these battles which predate most people even knowing who Bernie Sanders was and they STILL haven't caught up to them. And it was a glaring weakness during the campaign itself (not reaching out to local activists) In other words, nothing that Bernie does or Jeff Weaver does changes anything with respect to these local fights. I advocate true grassroots work, which is about empowering the people in local communities. Elections in and of themselves do not equal community empowerment.
88 Maybe 8/28/2016 12:44 AM
89 I plan to run for the Santa Monica Malibu school board in 2018. Our SED and children of color are failed by our 8/28/2016 12:43 AM system. Our bond money is mismanaged so our schools severe health and safety issues go unattended.

98 I will respond when I feel it will be a good thing, criticize when I feel appropriate, and observe to see what happens. It 8/27/2016 10:12 PM has to prove itself to me.
99 I don't have a lot of time to participate anyway. I tried to contact the woman who was on Democracy Now, but I doubt 8/27/2016 10:09 PM that I will hear from her. Bernie made a difference, but it will take a much larger transformation for his followers to become leaders and make the improvements that he talked about real.
100 I probably will support Jill Stein of the Green Party and forget about Bernie Sanders for now. 8/27/2016 10:04 PM
101 Financially, I'll donate to help elect progressives. 8/27/2016 9:54 PM

106 Not sure. Energy and money are pretty tight right now. Part of me feels like this is up to the younger people (I'm 8/27/2016 9:32 PM retired) and I would support it as I could from the wings.
107 We shall see... 8/27/2016 9:15 PM
108 We're all looking at how we can recreate the Bernie teamwork for NY candidates but if there is no access to Bernie's 8/27/2016 9:13 PM database of volunteers and donors, we realize will be spinning wheels, and I think that's already turning the activists off.
109 I am very supportive of Btand New Congressand will donate money and time; but I will approach Our Revolution with 8/27/2016 9:10 PM caution as long as Weaver is involved.

110 I don't believe I will participate. As tired as I am of the recurring offers by the two dominant parties every 4 years, 8/27/2016 8:50 PM which seems to amount to a choice of the lesser of two evils, I'm still deeply worried about Trump, the damage he has already magnified in the country, and my memories of how the Repugs stole the 2000 election for W, even as Nader supporting fellow liberals dismissed the difference btw Gore and Bush. Hindsight hurts my heart. Can we please put Hillary in office and then lean on her afterwards? No, that's not visionary, but I don't want my small child to grow up with Trump and his horrible appointees wrecking any small hope of a future. Bernie and co should focus on this election first and then seek revolution from the advantage of a reprieve from maniacal trumpism and all that it fosters.
111 I would like to participate, but feel that there is too little communication between OR and Bernie's former supporters. 8/27/2016 8:47 PM
112 Yes. 8/27/2016 8:45 PM
113 I'm not sure. 8/27/2016 8:37 PM
114 I'm interested in building non-capitalist economic institutions like worker cooperatives in parallel with other socialist 8/27/2016 8:32 PM cultural and political endeavors to eventually supersede capitalist society. In other words, I am not interested in saving capitalism by trying to put a human face on it with reforms. I want revolutionary transformation based upon a thorough understanding of the mistakes made to build a socialist society in the past that came up very short. But the point is, we can do better than capitalism and it's past time to make another attempt and get the job done..
115 Phone banking and organizing locally to get people registered to vote. 8/27/2016 8:28 PM

117 Not sure at this point. 8/27/2016 8:09 PM
118 I will not be very involved with "Our Revolution" but I will do everything possible to vote out all Democrats and 8/27/2016 8:08 PM Republicans. We need a new way in this country now. We need a "real political revolution."
119 I think that another well meaning Progressive has been co-opted or simply bought off. The energy invested in and the 8/27/2016 7:50 PM momentum created by the Bernie campaign should not be wasted. And so it is.. lost, dissolved, divided beyond further effectiveness, kaput. Jill stein's 100 house party goal is a gnat of the windshield of the Hillary-corporate-media-Wall St. juggernaut.
120 Personally, I see a GIANT CIVIL WAR COMING, not Bernie's Revolution but one which goes beyond law a claiming of 8/27/2016 7:47 PM our right from corporate fruitcakes. Since they break the laws with money our fight will be on the ground and merciless.

125 Working to elect progressive candidates. 8/27/2016 7:28 PM
126 I believe, like many, that the movement created Bernie- Bernie did not create the movement. He inspired more 8/27/2016 7:09 PM people, particularly young adults, to take notice. I attended the People's Summit in Chicago this past June. I was also part of Occupy. I voted for Bernie in the primaries and would have voted for him as president, but he is not a savior. I am not voting for the first time ever. I may never vote again. I appreciate everything Bernie brought to the table and his willingness to fight, but ultimately it is up to us to get off our asses. I'm ready for a revolution, but I'm not feeling very patient these days and too many have waited for equality for too long. Also, Bernie made some mistakes along the way that caused people of color to not quite feel the bern. I think that was fatal. I guess my opinion is on standby.
127 Probably won't participate, but will support petitions or other actions as long as the label of the Democratic Party and 8/27/2016 7:07 PM HRC are not attached.
128 I've signed up for both campaigns, but will have to read and hear a lot more before I do anything. I may just stick with 8/27/2016 7:04 PM my local anti-war and other such activism.
129 I will continue to stand for the progressive agenda on economic inequality, climate, war, education, health care, 8/27/2016 6:56 PM election reform and whatever else is needed.

PERIOD I also told him that until he does THAT, Bernie voters feel he GAVE up and abandoned the people of America. He's as crooked a politician as ANY other because he said he would NEVER give up.

171 A funny, evil genius is a joke~! A real evil genius is a joke on U.S.~! Vote Jill Stein, we know they're lying~! 8/27/2016 5:36 PM
172 I signed up with Our Revolution , donated, and am phone banking for Tim Canova this weekend, via the Run Bernie 8/27/2016 5:34 PM Run arm of PDA. I also sent in another contribution to Tim Canova.
173 Not just "Us;" YOU, Bernie. You articulated & gave positive focus to the lost hopes, injustices and future goals of many 8/27/2016 5:33 PM varying strata of the American electorate. Without the focus of your leadership, the structure will, I fear, fall back into a loose pile of diverging interests tht barely recognize each other. Even now, the people of this country would walk across the U.S.A. to demand that Sanders be given a chance in this election. He is the overwhelming electoral choice, and both Hillary & Trumpare crumbling like moldy cheese...
174 nada....NADA..ni una gota 8/27/2016 5:32 PM
175 Promoting and voting on down ballot progressives, networking with others, helping to wake people up. 8/27/2016 5:28 PM
176 I do not see myself participating unless a new party emerges soon and that party while liberal/progressive is not overly 8/27/2016 5:27 PM so. I do not agree with the intensity of the socialist values espoused by some of the more progressive advocates. Some positions simply go too far.
177 No 8/27/2016 5:26 PM
178 Wait and see attitude 8/27/2016 5:25 PM

199 Not sure 8/27/2016 4:53 PM
200 I will continue to support. 8/27/2016 4:53 PM
201 I am DemExit and will either write in Bdrnie Sanders for POTUS I attended a "Enough isEnough" demonstration that 8/27/2016 4:52 PM reinforced the drive to elect those candidates that address the above listed issues I will continue to support those whose focus match my oen being environment, judicial reform, education
202 My wife and I hosted an Our Revolution Launch Party in our home and plan to play an active role going forward. We're 8/27/2016 4:52 PM very excited about Bernie's movement!
203 Yes - keeping a wary eye on developments 8/27/2016 4:46 PM
204 Gone green, see ya! 8/27/2016 4:45 PM
205 I would write in Sanders if it was permitted in California's General Election. 8/27/2016 4:43 PM
206 Continuing to fight to stop the TPP - and helping promote and work for endorsed candidates and issues! 8/27/2016 4:43 PM
207 I will continue to try my best to be involved. Sometimes it just doesn't work for my schedule. 8/27/2016 4:43 PM
208 absofuckinglutely 8/27/2016 4:42 PM
209 I will concentrate all of my time and resources to elect Jill Stein prez 8/27/2016 4:40 PM
210 I am focusing on supporting Jill Stein and the Green Party now 8/27/2016 4:39 PM
211 so far doing voter registration and joined justiceserved.org, also quit the Dems and joined the Greens. 8/27/2016 4:37 PM
212 In the background cheering him on 8/27/2016 4:37 PM
213 I do not see myself as cooperating with our corrupt Democratic Party. 8/27/2016 4:36 PM
214 I expect to remain reasonably active in them - both financially and as a volunteer. 8/27/2016 4:36 PM
215 I will probably contribute money and attend events. I'm available for some volunteer work, but not very much. 8/27/2016 4:35 PM
216 ????????????????????????????????? 8/27/2016 4:35 PM
217 Alabama will always, in the near future, vote GOP (government oppressing people)-we have a brainwashed, bigoted, 8/27/2016 4:32 PM "fundamentalist" voting block.
218 No. I will pursue other paths. My energy will not be betrayed or wasted. 8/27/2016 4:31 PM
219 Not. I will find a like-minded group of past Bernie supporters and together we will try to compel people to take up our 8/27/2016 4:30 PM Progressive causes, without his help!!
220 IN IT TO WIN IT!!!!! 8/27/2016 4:27 PM
221 Not at all. 8/27/2016 4:27 PM
222 I was onboard at the beginning now unsure. 8/27/2016 4:26 PM
223 I will help the causes that help good causes. Our Revolution and Bernie are so obviously and strongly against Citizen's 8/27/2016 4:26 PM United that I don't really care where they get money as a means to an end, I have more faith in them than just about any other political organization.
224 I do not know if I will. 8/27/2016 4:24 PM
225 I'd be delighted to work hard for progressive values, but feel pretty lost about what to do that will make a difference. I 8/27/2016 4:24 PM feel a litle like a lonely voice in the wilderness.
226 I don't have any money and I am ill so that leaves me somewhat ineffective. I do hope to do some calling for them or 8/27/2016 4:24 PM writing, whatever I can do physically and financially.
227 Absent. I vote outside of Democrat and Republican parties because I want an opening up of the political process. I 8/27/2016 4:23 PM am voting for Jill Stein.

228 I have no desire to "build on Bernie's campaign." We need new leadership. But, most of all, we need a historical 8/27/2016 4:22 PM perspective and wisdom!
229 The Bernie campaign has ended. It's all over now. He supports Hillary & we should too. The goal now is uniting to 8/27/2016 4:21 PM smash Trump & fascist Republicans.
230 I will attend meetings 8/27/2016 4:21 PM
231 I'm done with these groups, and have moved on. I'm looking at the green party, and their groups. 8/27/2016 4:21 PM
232 I would like to be involved, but i want to hear bernie's response tothe staff resignations 8/27/2016 4:21 PM
233 Helping raise money. Working on local progressive issues here in northern California. Holding Hillary's heels to the fire 8/27/2016 4:19 PM if she wins the election.
234 As an extremely busy small business owner and mother of a large extended family, all I can do is opine where 8/27/2016 4:18 PM possible, and vote. Also creating videos to help sway the ignorant through comedy. Watch for the release in a few weeks of Redneck White House 2016.
235 By supporting Jill Stein and the Green party. 8/27/2016 4:17 PM
236 I'll follow and participate to keep the political revolution moving forward, if it continues to BA a grassroots organization. 8/27/2016 4:16 PM
237 No. Done with Bernie for good 8/27/2016 4:16 PM
238 Not unless the organizations and/or Bernie disavow support of Clinton and align with a unified Progressive Party with 8/27/2016 4:16 PM Green Party alliance and liberals under a unified Progressive Banner ...
239 I'm a grassroots organizer. I hope to build on what's happening. 8/27/2016 4:15 PM
240 I love the idea of carrying "Our Revolution" further, but I want to understand what Bernie thinks of the exit of key staff 8/27/2016 4:14 PM and of the appearance of dark money in this much needed venture.
241 Grassroots. Let's run for every office from Dogcatcher on up 8/27/2016 4:11 PM
242 I'm here .and present today..lets not push it..I'm a geezer on borrowed time..It's all a crapshoot but just ask ..you never 8/27/2016 4:10 PM know
243 Community organizing and outreach activities 8/27/2016 4:10 PM
244 Online social media support. 8/27/2016 4:09 PM
245 I will not contribute to Our Revolution until it is set up differently. 8/27/2016 4:08 PM
246 I have contributed once, but will see how it all shakes out before contributing more monetary support. 8/27/2016 4:08 PM
