What we need is "A CONCERT FOR BERNIE" in every state....

Get all the musicians from that state to take part. Maybe even tour the largest states (CA, Texas, Ohio)... Get the LA bunch, the SF bands...

The SF concert would be amazing. Green Day, The Dead, Michael Franti, Joan Baez, Future Ukelele Superstar, Emily Yates....
So how do we get this done?

I've tried contacting Bernie campaign and they don't respond (The regular portal). I will try to hit APE concerts and some of my musician friends...
