In my dealings with other Democrats in person and on the internet, and as Sanders takes an increasingly larger role in shaping the future of the Democratic party, a lot of long-time Democrats take issue with the fact that Sanders himself is not a registered Democrat. I called his Senate office this morning to ask what his status was, and the office staff told me Sanders is currently a registered independent. It would help all of us to help Senator Sanders if he would register as a Democrat. Yes, I know he has caucused with the Dems his whole career, and I believe his agenda is the heart and soul of what Democrats should be, but for many Democrats, that's just not good enough. To them, something stinks about a guy wanting to control a party that he won't even register with. So let's urge Sanders to register as a Democrat, so that we can more easily help him to help America become better. Call the US Capitol Switchboard (202-224-3121), ask for the office of Senator Bernie Sanders, and ask him to be a Democrat.
