If you are selected as the Democratic presidential nominee, we call on you, Hillary Clinton, to select Bernie Sanders as your VP pick, a true, joint unity ticket. This is what it means to "listen to the people."

::::::::

We are die-hard supporters of Bernie Sanders for president. We don't know what else we could have said or done to make that more clear.

But in light of the result in New York, and the states this Tuesday, the fact is that we have fallen short of the top slot this time. That's just the mathematical reality given the number of delegates left to be allocated. We have long said that whoever got the most pledged delegates, leaving any super-delegates aside, should be the Democratic nominee. And whether we like it or not, that person will now clearly be Hillary Clinton, absent some cataclysmic collapse.

So what do we do now?

And you can find the same action page on UTalk, where we have social media sharing fully leveraged.

Tell Clinton To Choose Sanders as VP (on UTalk): https://www.utalk.us/?a=choose_bernie

Here's what the action page simply says:

'If you are selected as the Democratic presidential nominee, we call on you, Hillary Clinton, to select Bernie Sanders as your VP pick, a true, joint unity ticket. This is what it means to listen to the people."

Let us be very clear about what we are not saying. We are NOT saying that Sanders should stop campaigning for president. NOR should he offer himself as VP. To the contrary, it is up to us to make the proposal.

In the meantime, everyone in the remaining states who thinks Bernie would be a better president than Clinton needs to continue to hold to that view and vote that way.

But let's also build the back up plan for the movement of the future at the same time. It needs to start immediately, a future we STILL, and will always, believe in.

Authors Bio:

The Pen is a real person, and the creator of UTalk, a revolutionary new internet radio interface, to make advocacy messages as facile and easy as possible. With this goal in mind we pioneered one click action pages in the political realm, now imitated by virtually all other action sites on the internet.

The premise behind the resource has always been twofold. If people are speaking out to their members of Congress in sufficient numbers one of two things MUST happen. 1) Either our representatives will heed the voices of their constituents and we will have the policy change we want, or 2) People will personally experience being ignored by their members of Congress, and then we have a base of people motivated to seek their replacement.

Last year we also added to its resource options fax sending capability, so that messages can be sent by fax to recipients who might not be reachable by web input form or regular email.

Besides our own action alerts and pages, many other activist groups have been set up with their own action page creators, including building this capability into the writer article submission interface for OpEdNews itself, to empower them in their own policy missions. And all of these services are provided for absolutely no charge to anyone, supported only by whatever kind donations individuals choose to make from time to time.
