please post what they said at your meeting. I assume it's just preliminary stuff but I would like to know if I need to do something.

Pretty much what was said about people doing something outside of any organized activity is to promote Bernie via social media or with family and friends and wear a button if you want to and be prepared to talk about Bernie's stances.

I would have liked to go but it would be about a 2 hour drive and cost.

Sometimes I'm thankful for the internet.

I think he did it for about a minute as most politicians fumbled around for their image and get "handled" a bit. People want to see him pissed off. We've had it up to here with the baby kissing crap.

It is amazing to me the people that are paying attention now, the previously uninterested… and I am not talking about Democrats exclusively.
Thx for posting the vid

I had no idea what her political leanings were, just assumed she was probably Republican like the rest of my neighbors. She's always been a favorite and now I know why! She's a "Berner," a new term I learned today watching the live stream.

Fun times.
