Feb 2016

I was in the Navy in 1969. After I got out, I joined the antiwar movement, and spent a lot of time with Yippees!.

I remember in Jan. 1973, we spent a couple of weeks in DC gearing up for Nixswines second coronation. Our Madison, Wis chapter brought down 13,000 dead lab rats, and when his motorcade passed us, he was caught in a waterfall of flying dead rats.

Such memories. The smell of tear gas in the morning.

Bernie is the candidate I've been waiting my entire life for. It could be my last election, and I'm not going to waste my vote on another New Dem corporate toad.

FEELIN' THE BERN!!!!!! finally.
