Facebook: stop censoring and locking Bernie activists' Facebook accounts!!!!

The Issue

Countless thousands, even millions, of us, as grassroots American voters and Bernie Sanders for President activists, organizers, volunteers, and fans are CONSTANTLY having our Facebook accounts locked, blocked, shut off, for extended periods of times, effectively crippling our abilities to organize as part of this social movement and presidential campaign. Whenever our accounts are blocked, locked, or shut off, it takes 2-3 weeks to get our accounts properly working again. 2 to 3 weeks in a presidential campaign is an eternity of lost time, negatively impacting an historical presidential election. We INSIST that Face book STOP automatically or manually blocking our accounts on Facebook, based on simple reports filed with you from Hillary Clinton supporters or the GOP trolls. We are NOT spamming or abusing our accounts, nor are we not following the community guidelines. This is a huge movement, and we have tens of thousands, if not more, of Bernie for President Facebook groups and pages, and many of us who are higher level activists at a national level, must, by the very nature of what we do, copy and paste a single message into hundreds of Bernie groups and pages to get word out. This is the nature of loosely organized grassroots movements. Facebook is interfering with our constitutional rights to freedom speech, freedom of association, and freedom of the press. We are beginning to believe that this is intentional election rigging, manipulation and fraud. We are calling upon the US Attorney General, the honorable Loretta Lynch, to immediately investigate these practices being used y Facebook to silence Bernie activists, using all of the Justice Department resources available to her, including but not limited to the FBI. We demand a full investigation and audit, and we insist that Facebook CEASE AND DESIST IMMEDIATELY from blocking, locking, terminating, limiting feature use, or any and all other methods to silence Bernie activists on Facebook, which interferes with our constitutional rights to freedom of speech, freedom of association, and / or freedom of the press, since many of can successfully argue that we are indeed social media JOURNALISTS. Sincerely, Bernie Sanders grassroots activists worldwide
