The Latest from Democratic dinner: Sanders marches

6 p.m.

Bernie Sanders is firing up supporters in Iowa before the state Democratic Party's big fundraising dinner.

The presidential contender led cheering supporters on a bridge across the Des Moines River in a march to the dinner hall. There, some 2,000 supporters were entertained by a student drill team. There were chants from the crowd, like "Hey, hey, ho, ho, the oligarchy has to go!"

At a pre-march rally, Sanders vowed: "This country belongs to all of us, not just wealthy campaign donors."

In fact, having so many average people donating to his campaign, volunteering, and performing at events makes average people feel like they are engaged in the political process. Is there something wrong with average people?

sticker on your car, put us a yard sign. Make flyers and pass them out. Organize overpass signing (be sure to recognize the local requirements).

I have given out a number of bumper stickers to friends and acquaintances with the promise that they would display them.
