We have just entered the third step in the path Gandhi described for populist uprisings, and have no doubt, Bernie Sanders' campaign for the Presidency is a POPULIST uprising.

pop·u·list

noun

noun: populist; plural noun: populists

1. a member or adherent of a political party seeking to represent the interests of ordinary people.


adjective: populist

1. of or relating to a populist or populists.



because we have only a couple months to win the primaries for Bernie, every one of us must grab a potential voter, make sure he or she is registered and able to vote in the Democratic primary, and see that the trip to the polls (or the absentee ballot) is made in a timely fashion.

It doesn't take much to "sell" Bernie to an ordinary person....the advantages are obvious.

May fortune favor us! Whether we are considered foolish, or fearless, we are not allowed to give up.
