Phone Banking for Bernie Tonight - Gem of a Call!!

I'm in Texas, and I had the pleasure of speaking with an 88 y/o hispanic woman who lives in the Valley.

She loves Bernie and is definitely going to vote for him in our primary on March 1. Now I know his chances here are slim, but it's calls like these that make my heart sing.

This wonderful lady told me that she's wanted a woman president her whole life, but not Hillary. She said she's lived through a lot and seen a lot, and Bernie is what this country needs right now. Then she thanked me for volunteering, reminding me that it's the people who move mountains.

I won't ever forget that call.
