I went to one of the March's for Bernie!

It was a wonderful experience. I was walking next to a young woman and her boyfriend, she was just beaming and chanting. I looked at her and told her how happy I was to see so many young people and I almost started to cry. My heart felt so full, I felt so hopeful. I can't feel to bad about South Carolina after that. In the bigger picture it doesn't mean much, a state that won't be blue in November anyway. So what did I see there you ask?

I saw every color and that was just the hair. All the colors of the rainbow including purple, blues, greens and pastels!

I saw young, old, families, gay, straight, physically challenged and all were smiling with faces full of hope.

I saw lots of dogs, a guy brought his cat and someone had a pet goat!

I saw children from newborns to rambunctious toddlers to serious older children who seemed to sense the gravity of our times.

There were chants and signs and lots and lots of laughter. This is the America I want. This is our future. It was beautiful.

Ever since they woke this country up from its slumber with OWS, they have moved us forward to where we are today...supporting a Democratic Socialist for President! The best candidate this country has had since FDR! The young are our future! The least we can do is fight with them and give them one worth having.

It sounds like you had a great and diverse crowd yesterday! That's how Bernie will win. He's bringing together in a movement of young, old, white, Hispanic, blacks, poor, middle class, unemployed, working class, Progressives, Liberals, Conservatives and Independents. He's going to win this!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
