Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumI am going to see Bernie tomorrow!
Oh and I am driving to another part of Arizona in the morning to pick up a friend who started out supporting Hillary because he didn't think Bernie could get elected being a socialist and all....well, he has come full circle and now feels the Bern and is really excited to go. He is a major influencer and very religious and I think the fact that Bernie Sanders gave a speech at Liberty University as well as hearing about the crowds and enthusiasm, along with reading Bernie's platform, well that got him. You see, my friend SHOULD be solidly in the middle class, but he isn't because he happens to be a teacher in Arizona. Arizona does not pay teachers enough to be considered middle class if they are the sole earner in a family.
I know this event will be important and will be focused on latino outreach, but all of us have this thing in common regarding economic fairness. The only person to crush the new gilded age is Bernie and US. Shout out if you will be there!

(592 posts)but it might still be late. I am going to guess a crowd of about 5,000 based on sign ups, but you never know.
It would be totally cool though if Tucson can beat the crowd from Phoenix (11,000) from earlier this year...certainly possible. Super cool the Dem Clubs are coming too! Bernie is going to energize this State and we need it badly.
