Einstein said - The most powerful force in the universe is ...

Compound interest.

Think about it.

Sanders has more that 175,000 people who have joined his campaign.

By the end of June, if each gets one person to join we are 350,000.

If all people who join will find one other each month that can keep adding to the total...

By August 700,000

September 1.4 Million

October 2.8 Million

November 5.6 million

December more than 10 million...

Six months of finding just one more person each who will work for Bernie Sander 2016.

What happens in six more months!!!

January 20 million

February 40 million

March 80 million

That is more than has ever voted for any president.

Just find one person that will do the same each month - Get to work

We will have a couple of BILLION votes for Bernie!



Seriously, the more we muster, the more we can defend ANY attack from the Right. People are getting fed up with their bovine fecal matter, and want someone who is steady, and stands by his word. Bernie is that man. The cons have NOBODY who can rise up to that!

She is going to tell her parents. And so on...

Actually, that's more of a geometric than exponential. But still, I see this going viral.

Viral Bernie!

Word of mouth. Get it out early, before the attack ads begin. Get him a good head start and pray he wins some early primaries. People power.

Neither knew who he is.

One was at the end of a tech support call. A young African American kid. My enthusiasm is getting them to actually take notes in order to follow up.

I'm really stoked about this.

We used to throw a frisbee on the lawn there at Cal Tech.
While I never heard him say it, he did wear a t-shirt that
said: "Compound interest, what a concept!"

which he stripped down to when we played frisbee.
Oh, he kept his pants on.
But no shoes. He used to say,
"I can feel the green in the grass,"
and then he'd go on about the nature of chromography or something
while we played.

One that has looked his economic writings would never doubt that he certainly thought this.

"Einstein said" is a cheap way to add credibility to anything, or make the obvious seem deep.

Both Einstein and Sanders are Jewish, socialist, and thoughtful.

Verified or not the quote opens the discussion to what could happen if people will work on this campaign.

Be well and I hope you find something more constructive to with your time.

Einstein was a physicist, perhaps the most brilliant physicist since Newton, not an economist.

IN these countries, the Oligarchs owned ALL of the Media.
The People ousted them through Word of Mouth and Local Organizing.

It CAN happen here.

VIVA Democracy!
We outnumber them by a million to one.

overwhelmingly.

This election will be:

Goldman Sachs, the Koch Brothers, Wall St Investment Bankers Versus The American People.

In the past there was no real candidate for the American People.

This time the people have their candidate.

And enthusiasm is catching. It's free, but more valuable than their Corporate Dollars.

Bernie and WE can do this.

They (PNAC), due to their obsession & lust for Iraq,
took their eye off the ball (of absentee fascism) in Latin America
long enough for The Peoples to elect their own representative governments that work for their people.
