Easily 100 people here already and it's only 3:30 and the event doesn't start until 7:00 so I'd say this is a good sign.

He's excited. Funny because he works on immigration and to keep people in the country, against ICE. I heard Bernie is terrible on immagration on this site...

My brother is very politcal, so I am sure he is informed.
Have Fun!!

Bernie2016.tv just said that their pre-speech show on YouTube didn't work out (something about phone lines) BUT they said they WILL be showing the speech.

I will continue to check their site as well as Bernie's site...as soon as I see a new link, I'll post it.

Also saw a post on Bernie2016.tv that says it won't be covered live by any of the Los Angeles stations but the site will have "reporters" on hand!

I was at the Moda Center last night, which was absolutely exhilarating ...

I am hoping that Los Angeles can bring even greater numbers to their rally ...

Where is this rally?

at Exposition Park.

This arena seats about 16,000+ (From Wikipedia).

Shockingly, ABC7 here just now (5:11P) had a reporter at the entrance and showed the LONG line waiting for the doors to open...and then ran "her" talking at a "rally" (looked like a handful of people) in NH, talking about TRump, which of course they ran clips of. Oh ya...the Bernie event. SO, they are supposed to have another report in the 6P hour...let's see if they can focus on Bernie for more than 2 seconds.
