Related: About this forumBernstormin' in Raleigh, NC (Rally for Bernie)
by Igualdad (reposted by moi) from DK
Bernies motorcade headed into downtown Raleigh, NC today around noon to be greeted by a YUUGGE crowd of people!
An overflow crowd gathered on the plaza and was amped to hear Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as she introduced the Bern! Bernie graciously spoke to us first as we cheered him under the blazing sun and our beautiful Carolina blue skies.
With only 24 hours notice for the Bernie Raleigh rally, the response was incredible. The line downtown Raleigh was 7 blocks long.
For anyone in NC, if you have not yet registered to vote, go to an EARLY VOTING SITE AND REGISTER no later than tomorrow at 1 PM and do the right thing! For everyone already registered VOTE!
GOTV for Bernie in NC!
