The People Are Speaking

Spent Monday afternoon at the DFL booth at the Minnesota State Fair. It was amazing. Signed up lots of people on the email list, and many asking questions. The most often asked questions were "Where do I get a button?", "Where can I get a bumper sticker?",
and "Where can I get a t shirt?". Meanwhile one very nice person had a Hillary table and very light traffic. The young, the old and everything in between were equally excited. These are the kind of people who actually show up at the caucus. In my own precinct I am looking at about 80% for Bernie from my samples.Hoping once this precinct is solid, we will be able to work on some others, that need help. Street teams, phone banks, whatever it takes.
This campaign is speaking up speed and rolling like a main line train.

so to speak! Gave Bernie another $50 today. That makes my total $675 to date. I have health issues (kind of serious) this time around so I won't be walking door to door like I did for Obama in 2008. But hopefully this can buy some pizza or something for the folks who can give the time. We can do this!
