Man on the sidewalk... handing out bumper stickers [View all]

I came out of the co-op grocery tonight and there was a lone man with a Bernie button standing there handing out a stack of Bernie bumper stickers he had bought.

He engaged people in conversation about the March 1st caucus. Not one of the people knew how to caucus or what to do. I joined him and we taught people... one-by-one. People were grateful. They wanted Bernie, yet their wish would mean nothing unless it was turned into action.

Many more people will be caucusing March 1st because of one self-motivated man. I was inspired and will do this at my library tomorrow.

I invite each person that reads this to teach 5-people how to caucus or/primary and spread democracy.

For me, my vote is Bernie

Go Bernie!
