3. K&fnR!

. . . but will they vote?

[Depaysement]

4. There are 14 Bernie events in NY

That is just for today.

[Luminous Animal]

7. It's amazing and many of them no longer have room to squeeze more people in.

[Uncle Joe]

5. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Luminous Animal.

6. I am not certain I recall

ever seeing a group of people this long waiting in line, in the cold to volunteer. Ever. For anything. I like the mix of age, still mostly young and that is encouraging. Wow just really really wow!

If he does not win it will not be because there wasn't anyone trying. I don't recall seeing this much excitement in a long time. We have had excitement over candidates and Obama really pulled in a lot of people but this has an energy that I have not felt for a long time.

This just really makes me feel great.

8. How's the volunteer situation in Iowa?

If I still lived in a Arkansas I'd drive up and volunteer there.

[Luminous Animal]

11. Very healthy numbers and high enthusiasm. People all over the country are also phone banking...

concentrating on IA, NH, and NE for now.

The organization that I work with most closely, People For Bernie, are doing amazing volunteer organizing.

[EdwardBernays]

13. That's fantastic

I actually made a couple calls in 2008.... From Ireland.

I'd consider doing it again. It's just so expensive.

24. Are those volunteers registering new voters?

Ya gotta get them registered. Strength in numbers. Thats what I'm doing is registering new voters. And I love it!

[jeff47]

26. You can register at the caucuses in IA. (nt)

15. Well, this is heartbreaking:

"MariaIsabel Sepulveda Caesar Vargas es cierto que ya no se puede cambiar de partido? mis hijas son Independientes pero quieren votar por #Bernie en las primarias ..hay posibilidades aun?"

Translation:

CV, is it true that we can't change our party affiliation? My daughters are independents but want to vote for Bernie in the primary. Are there still possibilities?

[hopemountain]

16. I'm all for Bernie, but....

that is a line to the ticket office (entry) at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. They do music, poetry slams, theatre, and fundraisers and that may indeed be a line of volunteers for Bernie but that is not where his office is or where his office will be.

[Luminous Animal]

17. That is where the volunteer event took place.

18. Too cool!

Love to see this! Really makes me believe the tide will turn.

[Plucketeer]

20. Wait a minute!

Isn't the "chosen one" from New York???

[SoapBox]

25. No...I think she's from Wall Street.

[Plucketeer]

27. I stand corrected

New York is just a territory of Wall Street. <-Plucketeer

21. Interesting comments under the photo! (nt)

[in_cog_ni_to]

28. Wouldn't heads explode if Bernie won NY, HIS actual home state? Hillary is just a NY squatter-

Carpetbagger. Bernie grew up there! HRH didn't. She's from Illinois.

Winning NY would just be so, so sweet.

Go Bernie!

Peace
Love
Bernie

29. I believe I heard of a carpetbagger who lost her way and ended up there. Decided to

stay for a spell.
