Yesterday I attended a PDA meeting for Bernie

There were about 130 people there. The issue was
volunteering with flyers, door to door,etc.

The point, which interested me the most was
the suggestion to "infiltrate" ones own precinct
party, just as the tea baggers have done. I know
that T. Hartmann suggested the same.

I found out when they meet, and have decided
to participate. The point was driven home not
to push for Bernie, since the party is supposed
to be neutral during the primaries. Instead to
talk about the issues in a clear way.

So wish me luck for doing it the right way
without cursing the establishment!

The worst thing will be to keep quiet about
our (D) senator, who approved fast track as
well as congressional oversight on the Iran
deal.
I think during the first meeting I will only try
to listen.
