Is America About to Have “YUGE” Democracy Spring? The Big Picture RT
Published on Mar 31, 2016
Kai Newkirk, Democracy Spring/99Rise, joins Thom. Over the next few weeks - activists from all over the country will join together in massive march on Washington called the Democracy Spring. Their goal? To get Congress to take action on getting money out of politics - and to ensure that the world's most powerful democracy is once again a real democracy - and not just the best democracy that money can buy. Thousands of people are expected to participate in the march and the sit-in that will follow it - which could end up being the largest civil disobedience event in decades.

My first negative reaction to my bumper sticker today.
I pulled into recycling center a truck was behind me.
I was taking out 2.5 gal. water bottles to recycle.
This truck had turned around came back through and the driver
yelled out his window "F***you, you communist b*tch!"
The few people around looked confused. The guy who works
at the center yelled at the guy and ran after him. He didn't understand
what just happened. I told him I think it was due to my Bernie sticker.
He said "what's a Bernie sticker?"
I said "Bernie Sanders bumper sticker." He still couldn't believe it. I almost
said well he's probably a Trump supporter but I looked around and some of those
people looked like Trump supporters. So I didn't say much else.
I put my Bernie bumper sticker on my car last fall. So it took a while. I'm not surprised
because I live in a place where there a lot of low information voters, namely
the So. Cal. mountain area.

Wyoming democratic caucus changes for larger than expected crowds
Democrats in six counties are moving their April 9 caucuses to bigger venues that can accommodate a larger turnout than originally expected. Including a location change in both Laramie and Albany Counties.
Wyoming Democratic Party executive director Aimee Van Cleave says that the venues were switched because they are expecting a huge turnout comparable to 2008.

MA Sanders Voters File Suit Against Bill Clinton for Campaigning Inside Polling Stations
Claiming the harm suffered was neither "trivial nor inconsequential," a group called MA Sanders Voters and Volunteers Disenfranchised by Bill Clinton has announced they have officially filed suit against former president Bill Clinton and MA Secretary of State William Galvin for "vote dilution" on the day of the Massachusetts Democratic primary.
The complaint has been filed by a plaintiff member of the group in Boston Federal District Court. The suit asks that the judge award all MA Democratic delegates to Bernie Sanders as a remedy and a deterrent to the alleged violations of voting law by Bill Clinton and the MA Secretary of State, who allowed Clinton's activity inside the 150 foot boundary declared by MA law as off-limits to campaigning by candidates and their supporters.

Official Results of Utah's Democratic Caucuses: Sanders Gets 77%
After counting and verifying all the ballots from last week’s caucuses, Utah Democrats have released their party’s official results. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders came away with 77.19% of the votes and Hillary Clinton had 19.80%.
Chair of the Utah Democratic Party Peter Corroon says that outcome is reflected in the allocation of Utah’s 37 delegates.
“The ultimate delegate count will be 29 for Sanders and 8 for Clinton,” he says. “And that includes the four super delegates which are split two for Sanders and two for Clinton.”
