"Enough is Enough" Rally Needs your support

There is a FB post trying to
put together a Bernie rally in DeeCee

They are at 47,000 RSVP

Imagine if 100,000 of us all traveled to Washington D.C. to hear Bernie Sanders speak! Think of the message that would send! 100,000 people already gathered for Bernie across the nation on July 29, 2015. We can do it again, this time together in D.C.!

What you can do to make this happen:
1) RSVP by clicking Join and select 'Going'
2) Click on Invite to invite friends you know
3) Click on Share to spread the word about this Bernie event!

NOTE: This is only an IDEA at this stage. If we get enough RSVPs (100,000) we will submit to Bernie's campaign team for endorsement and coordination.

Seems Team Bernie is taking notice and has reached out to the FB group

UPDATE: Heard from the campaign. They seem enthusiastic about the idea. Have said they will contact in the next couple of days with finer details. VERY EXCITING. Keep the RSVPs and invites coming. You
Bernie Backers are all amazing! Hope to see you all in Washington DC in the not-too-distant future!

Patriot Ctr. in NoVA at GMU which holds 10,000. After that the largest is FedEx Field/Redskins in Landover, MD holding 74,000 seats or RFK Stadium in DC where Nationals baseball games are held, former home of the Redskins, with 27,000 seats.
Outdoor DC for political events is best and historic. I would love to see Bernie speak at the Lincoln Memorial to thousands.
What a hope!
