Beyond Lawn Signs: Castro Valley Man Paints Bernie Sanders Campaign Logo on his Roof

For some people, professing their political allegiance with a lawn sign just isn’t enough. A man in Castro Valley painted his roof with the Bernie Sanders campaign logo.
“It’s bold and it’s big. It gets people’s attention. It gets people to talk and think and go home and go, ‘Why did he do that?’” said Daren Wilkerson, a high school English teacher, as he touched up the baby blue and red paint on his roof on Monday.

as if I would if I had wandered into the protected DU Bernie Group. It feels great frolicking with Bernie supporters.

far from the road for anyone to see it.

If I painted the roof, only people in planes, helicopters, and hot air

balloons would see it.

grew up on one. In my minds eye, I can picture your Bernie message on your barn roof as I view it from a hot air balloon. That thought puts a smile on my face.

I have a love of hot air balloons too. I skydived from one once.

Last Fall, one was done with pumpkins. I wish I'd saved the photos; they were charming.

Never heard of anyone doing that for Bernie's competitor, though.

"READY FOR HILLARY!"

Truth in advertising!

What ever happened to "Billionaires for Bush?"






http://billionairesforbush.com/

I looked up "Billionaires for Hillary" and, ugh, there's a rightwing one. So ironic. How can they not know that billionaires love Republicans and Hillary equally and oppose Bernie completely?

and I hated them. Makes my thoughts turn to pitchforks. This is soul stuff.

Anyone who understands what's going on and still backs Hillary in this primary is complicit.
