[haikugal]

14. Me too!!

It feels like coming home doesn't it?! Finally!!

[roguevalley]

38. Oh my god, yes. I feared I would die in a fascist country but this is real.

I get premonitions. This feels like one that feels good, all the way. Take care, haikugal. You are awesome.

[haikugal]

58. *BIG smile!!!!!

You too my friend....

[NorthCarolina]

42. +1

Very moving and motivational introduction indeed. I'm more confident now than I ever was that Bernie Sanders will indeed be the next President of these United States.

I'm glad I didn't die before ever getting to see this historic moment in America, when the voters rose up and cast the bankers from the temple.

[roguevalley]

43. What you said, North Carolina. :D:D:D

[appalachiablue]

61. Agree, so glad I've lived to see this movement, and I never wanted to die in a fascist USA!

This great event calls for some more celebration with what I view to be BERNIE'S CAMPAIGN THEME SONG!

~ BERN BABY BERN DANCE WITH BERNIE- DISCO INFERNO, IT'S HOT!

[sabrina 1]

62. THAT is a fantastic video! Thanks for posting it!

[rhett o rick]

3. k & r. Thanks for posting. nm

[sabrina 1]

4. You're welcome, his next event should be starting in about ten minutes!

[MrMickeysMom]

5. Thank you, sabrina!

I look forward to each new pair of eyes opened to the issues…

… as they continually are presented by Bernie Sanders.

[WillyT]

6. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[SoapBox]

7. Great picures.

Ya know, just saying, I really like Symone Sanders.

Go Berners!

[cal04]

8. Thank you sabrina 1

Great pics

[magical thyme]

9. K&R Get in on the Love Train! nt

[jwirr]

11. I love that old phrase.

[magical thyme]

13. ...

[jwirr]

15. Yes

[sabrina 1]

34. 'It's time to get on board'! Lol, yes it is!

Good song, I like it! 'Tell all the folks in Egypt', well we know there is someone in the UK who is watching Bernie's campaign closely and there are groups 'for Bernie' forming in other countries too.

[hedda_foil]

12. Wonderful and wonderfuller!!

I was sure he'd resonate in the south, and I k ow I'm not alone, but how thrilling to see this reception at an HBC.

[Marty McGraw]

16. kinda like a super hit

Rock Band, taking a break, and opting for the nostalgia of a smaller club venue. Only a class-act with the confidence of Legendary Proportions can play this off so well.

Keep up the Energy Bernie! We'll keep feeding it to ya!

[sabrina 1]

32. Lol, yes, he definitely is a political rock star at this point. But I have a feeling he kind of

likes these smaller venues where he can talk to the people personally.

[relayerbob]

17. The event was fantastic

Was just next to the steps he used to get up to the podium. Got to shake his hand an meet his campaign manager. Great time!! Enormous energy!!!!

[sabrina 1]

21. Wow, lucky you! Did you take any photos?

[relayerbob]

24. Yes, he was moving a lot so it was hard to get good ones.

Not sure how to post them here, though

[sabrina 1]

26. I'm not good at that either, unless someone has already prepared the url. I'm sure

there are a few people here who could tell you. Try asking Mary, I've seen her post photos she has taken at events, she just did a great op today with photos she took.

Would love to see them, but know what you mean re uploading them.

[marym625]

31. hi, relayerbob

You have to use a place like Photobucket

It's free and easy. You just upload your pictures to Photobucket then use the link choices to post here.

Once you upload a picture, you can click the icon that looks like a link in a fence. Four choices come up, email, direct and I forget the last two. Use the information in the "direct" choice. Copy it and paste it in the body of your post.

Hope that made sense. Let me know if you need anything further.

[sabrina 1]

59. Thanks Mary, I had a feeling you would be able to help!

[marym625]

60. you're welcome.

Hope it helps. I know that there are other ways but that's how I always do it.

[artislife]

46. Yippee for you!

That must have been a rush!

[merrily]

18. Nice!

[DocMac]

19. A K and A R

[Indepatriot]

20. Whole lotta melanin in those shots.... for an Old White Guy who can't attract minority voters....

Clintonian Meme #14 bites the dust....

[sabrina 1]

22. Once people get to know him, THEY will decide for themselves. Up to now, they've been told who they

support. Now we'll see. Too much talking FOR and AT people. Bernie talks to them and he listens to people. He hears what they are saying and he responds, thoughtfully.

[Indepatriot]

23. sabrina 1 - THANK YOU for the power passion and intelligence you bring to DU.

(pardon lack of commas keyboard is busted). You excel at keeping us up to date on Bernie's campaign and rarely a day goes by that I'm not grateful for your efforts.

Peace Love and Bernie Sanders!

[sabrina 1]

25. That is very kind of you to say, Indepatriot. I do feel passionate about this candidate, I don't

believe I ever have felt more trust in a politician before. Obama came close, but there were nagging feelings about how he would be after his vote for the FISA Bill Amendment among other things. Still I wanted him to win and am glad he did, even though there were some disappointments, I do believe he was not all that enthusiastic about the war machine he was pushed to constantly use.

If Bernie wins he can build on the good things Obama accomplished, eg, the Iran Peace Deal and HC reform.

But Bernie's long record as a public servant is pretty much unprecedented in a candidate running for the WH and so consistent, which tells us he believes in the things we have always, as Democrats, claimed to believe in.

I think we won't get a chance like this again, not for a very long time.

But he needs a good Congress also, and for us to remain engaged even after he wins.

I think we can begin that process also starting in 2016!

Thanks again for your comment, and it's a pleasure to be with so many great people in this battle.

I thought the meme was that Hillary is the only one that LISTENS? I always found that one particularly hilarious seeing as Bernie's whole career is built on listening to the people.

[sabrina 1]

30. I think the difference is, not just listening but RESPONDING as thoughfully as he does when

people tell him what is bothering them. He ACTS on what he hears, but even better, he seems to know a lot about what is going on with ordinary people.

And that, I feel certain, is because he never much cared about enriching himself as a result of his political career.

Eg, he donates any money has made from speeches to a children's charity. It wasn't much, but still, it shows the character of the man.

[smokey nj]

40. Hillary doesn't listen because she thinks she already knows.

She's a master of condescension.

[Lorien]

35. That's what I say to trolls who attack Bernie

I don't hit them with anything other than "you wouldn't say that if you heard what he had to say and knew his record. If you really knew who Bernie Sanders is and what he stands for, you would be supporting him." I believe that if enough of us are consistent with this message we will win over a good many more supporters.

[Report1212]

27. I lived in Georgia most of my life

And I've never seen a fundraiser -- this was a fundraiser, u had to pay 50 bucks to get in -- that is so diverse, that had so many types of people. Political fundraisers are usually old rich people. Bernie is reinventing politics.

[sabrina 1]

29. Yes, he really is. He is teaching future candidates that they don't need big money to run

a good campaign, as we have been told so often.

Taking that money ties the hands of those who take it.

Bernie's money is coming from the people so he will be responsible to THEM.

We know for sure now why our Reps do not listen to us. Why all those petitions with tens of thousands of sigs were ignored. Why even when over 90% of the people WANT something, food labeling eg, Congress ignores them and does the opposite.

If Bernie's campaign does nothing else, it is highlighting the reasons why Government no longer represents the people in this country.

[Babel_17]

33. Just amazing how people are becoming part of the campaign

It's about we, the 99%.

[DirkGently]

36. Great pics! n/t

[appalachiablue]

37. K & R. Great Op and photos. Bravo Bernie and Hot Atlanta!

[NorthCarolina]

39. Hot Dam, Brother West was ON FIRE!!!

I can't even begin to describe how much I enjoyed watching that clip of Cornel West at Benedict College in Columbia, SC.

HE WAS ON FIRE!!!!!



Thank you for your post sabrina.

You made my day.

[sabrina 1]

45. Yes, he was!

Bernie is on Fire also, but most of all, the PEOPLE are on fire with determination to end the takeover of our country by greedy, selfish, corrupt Corporations.

Love the Fire picture!

[NorthCarolina]

55. Now, more than ever before,

I really think we can make this happen.

[sabrina 1]

56. It's possible, it really always was but we were scared into thinking

that only 'establishment' candidates could beat Repubs. Bernie is proving that to be wrong.

[NorthCarolina]

57. I never really prescribed to the notion that

only "establishment' candidates could win, but I did subscribe to the notion that only "establishment' candidates were permitted to play.

[zentrum]

41. Love the Bernie reports!

Keep 'em coming.

Hope his health and energy stay good. The campaign trail is known for being brutal.

[Paka]

44. Love it.

It's so energising to see people all over responding to Bernie's message.

[retrowire]

47. And tomorrow...

Greensboro, NC feels the bern! and I'll be there!

[sabrina 1]

48. Fantastic, don't forget to take photos and five us a first hand report!

[retrowire]

49. oh you'll get a report alright!

I'll write a retrowire article!

[sabrina 1]

50. Great, looking forward to it!

[senz]

51. This is a wonderful OP. Love the photos.

So glad these good things are happening for Bernie! Thank you, Sabrina.

[noiretextatique]

52. I see black people

pretty good black crowd for someone who is not speaking to or connecting with or whatever. Excellent!

[Enthusiast]

53. Kicked and recommended to the Max!

Wow! Bernie love!

[Scuba]

54. Must be photoshopped. Everybody knows blacks don't like Bernie. Read it right here on DU.
