1. K&R.

Bernie Sanders is with the American people. He and Elizabeth Warren seem to be the only ones who know what is really going on.

I remember a time when Marcy Kaptur was pretty helpful to us, but I have not heard from her lately.

2. Let's not forget Alan Grayson.

And I've been supporting Rob Zerban in his quest for Paul Ryan's seat. I'm just a wee little guy in California who's donated a C-note to Zerban's campaigns a time or two.... And Rob has called me THREE times to thank me and chat casually. THAT has impressed me and made me think he might prove to be in the same league as these other three. These four - and there ARE a few more - give me at least a glimmer of hope.

3. Thanks for your contributions. We are not able to do so much, but if either Bernie or

Elizabeth Warren runs in California's primary, I will volunteer to table in my area. I am very good at talking to voters. Very patient. Very friendly. Very good at informing people on the issues. That's one reason I visit DU. So I can understand the issues better.
