Updates Greektown Casino-Hotel

Ok Reddit, Grassroots Leadership in Michigan is making our final push to put pressure on our Superdelegates to vote along with their constituents who chose Sanders over Hillary. At the very least, we are asking them to pledge to vote proportionally with our state's voters. Right now, we are not getting much reception from them, so we need SandersforPresident to give our Superdelegates the Reddit Hug of Death, flooding all of their offices with calls on Friday, the 25th of March (today). We need to put the pressure in advance for the Saturday, April 2nd Superdelegate Meeting at the Greektown Casino in Detroit. This meeting IS open to the public, and we're looking to flood it with Sanders supporters, so if you live in Michigan, or even nearby Toledo, mark April 2nd at 10 am off on your calendar to stand with us. We are looking for 500 - 1000 Bernie Supporters to show up and demand that our Superdelegates stand with their constituents. We'll post more instruction on this in /Michigan4Sanders next week!
Here's the phone script and the phone numbers. Please call as many as you can (or all of them for super awesome bonus points;). We put all of their numbers so that if the line you call is busy, you can call another office.
Script for calling offices of Super Delegates
Hi I’m calling to leave an opinion for (Insert Super Delegate name here). Michigan Grassroots for Bernie has created a pledge for all 17 Michigan Superdelegates to sign saying they commit to casting their Superdelegate vote at the convention in Philadelphia in July for whichever democratic candidate has more pledged delegates after the primaries are finished. I think it’s important for the American people to decide who the nominee is rather than a few party officials. For more info about the pledge or in order to sign it you can contact the Michigan Grassroots for Bernie leaders who will be also be contacting your office and leaving their information for you. I hope that in the interest of a fair and Democratic Party nomination process you decide to sign this pledge.
(If you’re not from Michigan or even the area the superdelegate you’re calling represents DO NOT LEAVE ANY PERSONAL OR CONTACT INFO. Feel free to leave this info if you live in the area they represent, but don’t feel obligated to.
These are the Superdelegates we are focusing on today while we hammer down the contact info for the remaining Superdelegates.

THINGS TO DO IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN Established in 1801 Detroit was home to many Indian tribes that you can see with some of the neighboring cities names and the best things I can say about a visit to the Motor City are it’s historical values. There are many places to visit and each one of them has lots of history behind it. If you travel up interstate 75 north for several hours you will come across many Indian reservations that they were awarded by the government for the effect they had on building this nation. Sports Teams You can begin with Joe Lewis Arena the home of the Detroit Red Wings since 1979 they recently opened Little Caesars Arena in September 2017, which is the home of the Detroit Pistons and the Red Wings. As you walk south down the famed Woodward Ave you will see the Home of the Detroit Tigers Comerica Park and just around the corner is Ford Field the Home of the Detroit Lions. In early 2018, all four major sports teams reunited back in Detroit for the first time in nearly 25 years, which has brought millions in revenue back to the Motor City. Theaters Further across the street you will see The World Famous Fox Theater, which has been a stage for many of the past and present superstar performers. It is the host to lots of thing such as, comedy shows, concerts, and kid events. Just about every entertainer from every generation has performed in this theater. Gambling Detroit is also the largest inner city that has legalized gambling. They have three hotel casinos, The Motor City, Greektown, and the MGM Grand casino. You can relax at either one of these resorts and have a great meal, place a bet, get a massage, listen to live music, or just mingle among the fabulous crowds that gather at any of these venues on a daily basis. Museums You can view first hand the lab where Tomas Edison had his first light bulb moment or even the workshop where the Wright Brothers reached the sky. These are some of the features of Greenfield Village. The facilities are over 80 acres wide with shops, dining, and events. Henry Ford Museum is another one of the attractions of The Metro Detroit area it has artifacts, exhibits, and some of the greatest innovations in American History. They have daily tours that include a guide through the Rouge Ford Factory. You get to see first hand Ford Trucks being made from the ground up until they roll off the assembly line and stored to be transported to dealers around the world. You can even view the first Model T or jump on a steam-powered locomotive to visit animals around the compounds. There's the Detroit Institute of Arts you can visit to see Priceless works of art. The Michigan Science center, the Charles H Wright Museum are two other museums in metro Detroit that house many works of art. Last but not least you have to visit the Motown Museum where all of the Motown artists started their entertainment lives. Berry Gordy is one of the most famous names in the world of music and he started his label right there on West Grand Blvd. in the heart of Detroit. Some of the artists that started there were Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Jackson Five, and The Four Tops. There are daily tours that take you into this historic building to see where these sounds all began. Restaurants The first class dining in Detroit is one of my favorite parts of the city. You can start off by strolling to Mexican town just down interstate 75 South to Clark Street. Or you can head to the downtown area to Greektown and enjoy some of the best Greek cuisine in the world. Once again there’s the three casinos where you can have breath taking meals at also. In my opinion I would say that there are great places you can dine at after nearly every turn of the steering wheel in Detroit. Image Most of all I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I have resided in the same home since I was four years old and every one of those years have had it’s share of ups and downs, but I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything in the world. This city has taught me so much about growing into a man and how to turn a negative into a positive. The men and women of Detroit each have a saying that to do anything means that it must be done correctly and this applies to every part of life. Detroit is full of blue-collar workers that go into the factories of Ford Motor, General Motors, and Chrysler on a daily basis and has helped to build this country into what it is today. Each one of these motor companies have a slogan that has Detroit in it's saying. Starting with Chrysler's "Imported from Detroit", General Motors "Detroit's Strong as a Rock", and finally Ford's "Detroit Raises the Bar". A few years ago, when President Obama was in office the three auto companies got into a financial jam and they were bailed out by Obama's Administration to save these American jobs. That turned out to be one of the best things that any modern day President could have done. He was apposed with strong opposition from most Republicans in office, but at the end of the day the loans were paid back and in record time by all three auto companies. Best of all those factory workers jobs were saved by this action and the Motor City was kept alive, well, and still prospering because of this action by a revolutionary President.
