MAYDAY says "get involved in your district"

Today, the MAYDAY PAC Facebook posted

MAYDAY.US
Have you signed up to get involved in your district yet? It makes a HUGE difference (see our recent success??)
Now's a great time to do it! https://mayday.us/local-action/

I’m getting involved, and I hope you will too. Sign up to attend a meeting with your members of Congress or write a letter to the editor. Let them know that you want them to reform the way campaigns are funded. It’s easy, and it makes a difference.

For the past month, the amount of grassroots activity of MAYDAY supporters getting involved in their districts has been extremely small compared to the exploding grassroots activities of Bernie Sanders supporters. (A sense of this can be gotten by comparing the tweeting going on under the Twitter hashtags MAYDAY is using (#lead4reform, #maydaypac, #maydayus)  with the tweeting going on under Sanders hashtags (#Bernie2016, #feelthebern).)

In its pronouncements and social media postings, MAYDAY has been expressing satisfaction with how its campaign is going, it has taken no note of the fervidly expanding grassroots activities in the Sanders campaign, and it has not raised any discussion or posed any questions about how MAYDAY might more mobilize its MAYDAY supporters.

It is hard for this MAYDAY supporter to know what to make of this situation.
