Interestingly, I am have seen several Bernie

[Live and Learn]

yard signs and bumper stickers in my (California) city and none for anyone else. Hoping the trend continues.

1. YAY!

[BrotherIvan]

2. He's the perfect fit for California

Apparently he does quite well in fundraising from here as well. But I know the big money is going for Clinton, which is not a shock.

We voted in grumpy old Brown and booted Whitman and Fiorina. Money doesn't always win here, which is surprising in some respects.

[Aerows]

11. I'm in Mississippi

and he's actually doing well here, too.

He's a breath of fresh air. I think everybody is sick of "Horrible person I can't vote for" vs. "Barely tolerable person I guess I have to vote for."

[BrotherIvan]

18. I hope so

But I'm sure after the red scare the other campaign has planned, people will fall back into their safety zones and vote establishment. I have no doubt that is why Iran has been added to her stump speech.

[emsimon33]

14. That we voted for the meh guy over the womens' tens of millions gives me hope.

The lack of enthusiasm for Brown was impressive; however, we elected him and refused to be swayed by Meg's hundreds of millions.

We are the canary in the coal mine too often. The rest of the country may be catching up, tired of choking on the money.

[merrily]

16. Like any other state, California has deep red pockets, as well as deep blue pockets and everything

in between. The whole state is not Los Angeles and San Fransisco by any means--which is why Republicans have been striving for years to apportion California's many electoral votes. And, if national Democrats don't do something about it, as national Republicans have been doing, I wouldn't be surprised if the Republicans succeed one of these days.

[BrotherIvan]

17. But to be honest

Some of the coastal areas that were red are changing. Yes, you do have old money and new money there and they will vote Republican. But their children who are growing up now likely are not Republicans. It is very declasse to be an open Republican these days. The culture of California is so liberal, you'd have to be a fundie whacko to be an open Republican these days. We do have those inland and in pockets here and there, it's true. But we also have a huge population of PoC and the racist comments coming from Republicans means this state is locked up. No Republican will win this state in a national election for a very long time. That's why Regan was so lethal.

[Le Taz Hot]

29. As one of the "inlanders"

I'd like to say if the California Democratic Party had made ANY effort at all in the inland areas we would be represented by Democrats. Even with the majority registered Democrats in Fresno County they can't get a Democrat elected. Why? Because there is NO money being funneled here and it's too bad because if a REAL candidate ever challenged Costa (DINO) or Nunes, or Valadeo, we could actually have some progressives in there. But Costa runs unchallenged (thought that may change since he voted "yes" on TIAA, etc.) and Nunes and Valadeo either run unchallenged or with a sacrifice candidate. The last time it was a challenger that held $100.00 fundraisers (a high dollar amount for an area largely made up of farm workers) in the foo-foo section of town and never once did I see a yard sign, not a bumper sticker, nothing. Her "campaign" didn't even contact volunteers except to say 1) vote for me and 2) send me money. She lost in an area that can be won. But the CDP can't find the Central Valley with GPS and a map so we languish. And the local party machinery is so busy jockeying for position that little real work gets done. It's why I only volunteer for causes and candidates and try to stay clear of the local party machinery. There's already two rival Bernie groups.

[BrotherIvan]

30. I hear you

Why the hell Democrats let those areas stay red is strange. You would think they like it like that. I also meant areas by the Nevada border down here that do contain a lot of Republican demographics. Mega churches are springing up and red politics is trying to keep a foothold there.

[genwah]

3. Your title, on Dagobah, correct is -Yoda

[jwirr]

4. I suspect we are buying them ourselves and putting them up.

[Aerows]

12. I suspect one will be in my yard soon even

here in Mississippi.

[jwirr]

20. Me to. We are a real part of this campaign in a way that I do not remember ever happening before.

[passiveporcupine]

5. I asked for a bumper sticker a few weeks ago

They sent me an e-mail saying it will be couple of weeks. They are too busy and late on getting them out. When they finally do, you will see a lot of them cropping up all at once.

I still have to order a yard sign.

[1monster]

6. You can make your own on the computer if you have a half way decent

printer. They sell the bumper sticker blanks at office supply stores.

I've made my own yard signs that way.

[passiveporcupine]

8. Yeah, but if I buy one from Bernie store, most of that money goes to his campaign.

[1monster]

9. Well, of course! The home made one is just to hold you over

until the your order from the Bernie store comes in.

[cui bono]

15. Is there a way to print a large sign on a printer that just prints normal size?

Like have it print in 4 pages that together make up one sign? My house is almost right on the sidewalk with just a planter in front, no real yard and I'd like to just put big signs in my windows.

[1monster]

21. That's the way I do it. For larger signs all on one page, you have to have a printer

that prints larger sheets of paper.

[cui bono]

22. Is there certain software you need to use that breaks up the pages correctly?

So that it looks right when they are put together?

[1monster]

23. I just use MS Paint. If you click on "Print" and then click on "Page Set Up"

Then on "Centering" and click both "horizontal" and "vertical," then click on "Fit To" and choose however many pages you want (probably 2 x 2) Then click "Okay" you will be ready to go.

The print out will be centered on each page and you will need to trim the margins and tape together, but your proportions will be correct. Since my signs went outside, I also taped (with clear packing tape) the entire surface of both sides to protect it from the elements.

[cui bono]

24. Great, thanks!

[NJCher]

7. I know

I made my own 'cuz I didn't want to wait. Hokey and homemade looking, but I think that's good. It just shows this is a true grassroots movement and not some slick Madison Ave. campaign with which we all fall into line.

I taped them on the back of my station wagon window.

When I get the professional ones, these will go. In the meantime, make no mistake about it:

I AM FOR BERNIE!!!

28. The volunteer group I met with yesterday were making their own stickers and signs

But I'm looking forward to receiving an "official" one

[SoapBox]

10. I got my Bernie store order on Friday.

A T shirt, mug and two of his stickers.

I put the blue sticker on my car immediately...I'm gonna get some enlarged, color copies of the white one...I should be buying from the store but the delay (and shipping) is too much for me and I want to get signs in my front windows ASAP.

[emsimon33]

13. Rats, I ordered mine weeks ago

But only the yard signs have arrived.

[Scuba]

19. Same here in north-central Wisconsin. Ten Bernie stickers for every Hillary one.

The tide has turned.

[Live and Learn]

25. That is great news. nt

[Le Taz Hot]

26. I haven't seen any Bernie yard signs yet.

I've seen one Hillary yard sign; however, I've seen 4 or 5 Bernie bumper stickers and no Hillary bumper stickers.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Saw a guy wearing a Bernie t-shirt in Minneapolis

a couple of weeks ago. No lawn signs yet but I expect they'll appear soon.

[Warpy]

31. I haven't seen any in NM yet

but that's probably because I've been a homebody lately. I need to go out for some health food later on, will probably see at least one in their lot.

Once the university starts up in the fall, I'll likely see a lot of Bernie shirts and stickers.
