Thank You Michigan!

Bernie Sanders has taken the high road again by thanking everyone in Michigan for voting for him. He also thanked all the volunteers who canvassed, went door to door and made phone calls. He is a 'Total Class Act'. I suggest we honor him by thanking everyone as well. This is my first time creating a thread and have not seen this yet. Keep The Faith, this is just starting to get good!

It isn't just about Sen. Sanders. It is also about getting the Revolution started.

Thank you, Volunteers, for opening eyes and hearts!

candidates only to lose to the 'predetermined' candidates. It is blissful to see it actually work!

having people slam doors in your face or see you coming and run to their back yards to hide. New Mexico, summer-95 degrees. The people who can go door to door are to be honored but we all do it for the cause because we know it will benefit ALL of us.

I haven't actually done any door knocking since '08, but still remember how uncomfortable it felt to show up at people's doors. You just push through and go to the next. Ever since, I always try to take time for people who show up at my door!

I'll try to stand it and do some here in Washington State next week. (Or I may chicken out and just do phone banking.)

Be well!

thing. Barking dogs, it always made me so uncomfortable but you are to be admired for actually doing it.
Hang in, friend, and do whatever is comfortable for you. And i never went inside anyone's home. I did it alone. The phone banking is working. Thanks!

to win by double digits.

Bernie's win in Michigan was quite an accomplishment.

Way to go Michigan volunteers!
