I'm just back from Sanders' event in Stockton, California.

[CentralCoaster]

He came out at 10:00, I was there at 6:00 am as volunteer working the crowds outside, pumping them up and available in case anyone qualified for a move up to the ADA entrance, easy gig.

His comments were just so outstanding and he speaks to the specific needs of each audience, I think. For Stockton, comprehensive immigration reform, health care, affordable college, drug law reform and others are major issues.

I was delighted to see Jane, too, and very happy that at least 100 secret service were there in addition to the state and local police.

Bill Clinton came once to this city, just a short stop at the airport then back on his plane.
One of the Bushes came to a school named in his honor.

Nothing like this has happened since May 21, 1968, when my sister took me out to the Weberstown Mall to see Bobby Kennedy.



We must win this.

1. How big was the crowd?

[CentralCoaster]

4. Bernie at the podium said he welcomes 7,000 people to this event, so probably more.

Other staff said click counts at the screening entries added up to over 7,000.

On Sunday organizers anticipated 3-4 thousand.

2. I'm with you, CentralCoaster...

I'm phone banking all the way.

Notice the baggage being thrown around DU by the bots... This means they are trying not to be worried by displaying their worries as open hostility.

Love and a plan for a future we can believe in trumps blind ignorance any day!

3. I'm hoping he comes closer here.

L.A. and San Diego don't cut it. Riverside would be nice!

[bkkyosemite]

5. Great news and I just saw Sac..omg the people wow.

[CentralCoaster]

7. Bernies comes out at the 34 minute mark in this YouTube:

Hello Stockton! What a turnout, thank you Stockton.

It looks to me like Stockton is ready for a political revolution, this is a fantastic turnout and I thank all of you very much....

[thereismore]

6. Wow, you've seen Bobby Kennedy! nt

8. He's our next President!

We cannot allow TPTB to steal this from him. We just can't.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

9. But, but......

I just saw on the local noon news the general will be between you know who and you know who and it will be a very tight race. Apparently all us folks in this group are having a hallucination. There is no Bernie Sanders and never was!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Bernie who?

The corrupt corporate owned MSM's mistake, is believing we aren't getting any information unless we watch their corrupt corporate owned networks. NEWSFLASH! The Internet, Smart Phones, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc...gives us all the information we need! Just because the corrupt corporate owned MSM ignores Bernie and his rallies, doesn't mean we don't know what he's doing, where he is or when he has rallies! I have yet to miss a rally I wanted to see!

They think they control the message, when nothing could be further from the truth! They're a bunch of corrupt, self-centered fools.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

It is so very moving to have an experience like this. A huge rally by a candidate you can believe in. A very special day indeed!

14. yes, we must win this

the people in stockton, fresno, and surrounding communities are primarily very hardworking people - i worked in community development across the valley and in the more rural communities during the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's. they have my heart.

17. He'll be coming to the High Desert in next few days!!

All these posts are getting me excited. I Can't wait. Thanx CC

[dana_b]

18. so glad that you got to see him and Jane!

I really wanted to go but my daughter could not make it due to work and I couldn't get there on my own.
Stockton hs been through SO much and I'm glad that he visited your city.

You're right -we MUST win it. I get so excited when I see little things like a Bernie sticker on a wall outside of the Trader Joes that I went to today. It makes me realize that there are others who feel like we do.

[Lodestar]
