O'Malley on July 4th parades: “Unlike some places at home people waved with all 5 of their fingers"
CLINTON - Former Maryland Governor and Democratic Presidential Candidate Martin O’Malley fondly recalled his time in Iowa, especially the way the people reacted to his ideas.
“I’ve been in a lot of 4th of July parades, I did the parade in Independence, Iowa today — and it was great,” he said. “Unlike some places at home people waved with all five of their fingers.”
O’Malley said that in light of it being July 4, people have been given the gift of a great country, but there is a duty to leave it in a better place for future generations.
During his speech, O’Malley touted his history as Baltimore mayor and Maryland governor and his presidential plans, including getting the United States to 100 percent renewable energies — including solar, wind, and water— by 2050.
“We can square our shoulders as a nation to the challenges ahead and one of them I’ve been talking about over these last three days in Iowa where I see so many windows that were not here 10, 15 years ago is the fact that the red, white and blue calls us all to be green,” he said.

Thanks for this bigtree! 
and probably pretty nice up there this time of year!
People can go to his site and find that he has plans for fixing things, jobs, climate change, infrastructure, etc. I think that come the first debate things will change and he will start getting a lot more attention. It's still early, and the media is trying to make this a "Clinton Sanders" race so they ignore the rest of the candidates running in the democratic primaries. Unlike the clown car race of the GOP, democrats actually have a great group to pick from come the primaries.
The GOP has to figure out which one of the dozens of clowns running is less crazy that the rest, and that isn't going to be easy.
for the media and the dumbed-down electorate to handle. 
Gotta make some NOISE, I guess.
