Athens (Ohio) residents 'Feel the Bern' for Bernie Sanders
(snip)
About 70 students and Athens residents convened in the Athens Community Center, 701 E. State St., Thursday night to express their support for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
At the third Athens for Bernie Sanders meeting since the group was founded this summer, local Bernie Sanders supporters gathered to hear about campaign plans, meet with local activists and discuss policies and ideas.
“It’s important that we come together and concentrate our efforts on a variety of issues,” Nate Wallace, a recent OU Ph.D. graduate who founded the group, said at the meeting. “It’s important to go out into the country and rural areas to get people to know who Bernie Sanders is and what his policies are.”

Wallace said the group plans to march in the university’s Homecoming Parade Oct. 10 and encouraged residents to wear “Bernie gear” to the Ohio Pawpaw Festival in September.
