The focus

Since the Sanders Group is all about the election of Bernie, why not concentrate on the Populist down ticket races here.

Senate, House, Governor, Mayor, etc all these need Populist attention, organizing and support.

Grass Roots could easily intertwine on all races up to the President.

support for his policies.

Maybe we could start finding out what seats are up for election in the Senate and Congress.

I think that people who vote for Bernie will also vote for the best Congressional candidates, but they need to know who they are.

So yes, we should not overlook those races by any means.
