Ted Lieu conference call is really interesting

I got a call and am participating in a telephone town hall meeting with Ted Lieu.

Very impressed with his manner and policy ideas.

I signed up for emails and can add it later.

He is excellent on climate, very liberal and supports Apple on encyption (he convinced me), against TPP, etc etc.

since I voted for him.

I think he might be good on the national stage someday.

A humanist and colonel in the military, potential there.

I think he's in his forties, so there's plenty of time.

Listing allies and enemies explicitly.

We all know the other side does this which is why the super deligates and DNC members are scared to change.

Now we are at the crossroads for a huge change in this primary...

Those people who might end up on the wrong side of history will have pause .

Sanders has given permission for Democrats to speak their minds, their liberal minds if they have them. They're not afraid to be unequivocal and passionate. Which side are you on is going to matter going forward.
