Bernie Sanders Fires Up Connecticut Crowd

(snip)
He spoke for about an hour to the energetic crowd with only one pause to help direct medical personnel to a person who passed out in the crowd.

Sanders began his speech to the packed Green by ripping the current system and the concentrated wealth.

(snip)
State Sen. Gary Holder-Winfield spoke at the podium and said campaign finance reform in Connecticut allowed him to run against the New Haven political machine and win. He worked on several prominent issues including abolishing the death penalty in the state and said many people told him he was dreaming when it came to his political goals.

"Dream tonight for a win in Connecticut for Bernie Sanders that they say can't happen."

Thanks for those fabulous insights! It's a much-needed reminder of the importance of this fight and perseverance. Call me a Polyanna but I suspect that CT's campaign finance reform will improve Sanders' odds in the Constitution State.

determined and more fierce in his delivery of his stump speech. He was very, very good and the crowd loved him!

We can't allow TPTB to STEAL THIS ELECTION FROM HIM AND US!

If they are successful in stealing it, this country is finished. We all know Bernie is the candidate who is legitimately ahead in the pledged delegates. They hacked the evoting machines all across this country to give the wins to Clinton. There's a reason Bernie wins CAUCUSES by 70%-80% - because they don't use evoting machines! We need to rise up and STOP this election fraud or why bother voting in the first place if we're going to ignore the elephant in the room? It's just another DOG and PONY SHOW!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
