Now for the rest of the country! Keep up the good work! We NEED this man in the White House!

Ignore the talking points and the useless pundits and political experts.

See how WRONG they've been so far?

Follow Bernie's example and just keep CLIMBING when they are nipping at your heels, don't wast time that could be spent spreading the word about one of the best candidates we've seen in a long time!

Let them waste all that Corporate Money on negative campaign dirty tricks. At least someone is being employed, even if it is just a temporary job! Lol!

But remember that when the 'People are United, they cannot be defeated'!

And as Bernie reminds us so often, don't let them divide us!

?w=512

DUers have been a part of all this so we should be proud of how much this little place is doing to help get Bernie elected.

Omaha Steve eg, with his daily and weekly reminders to donate to Bernie's campaign has helped raise a few thousand dollars right here on DU.

And I just LOVE what DUer retrowire and his beautiful wife did yesterday.

He told us they was going to see Bernie in NC and live-blogged their trip starting with when they left their house, even sending us a pic of the Mexican Food they stopped to eat along the way. Lol!

Made us feel like we are all going to hear Bernie speak!

They were hoping if they got there early enough they might get up close enough to Bernie to get a selfie! Lol!

We were rooting for them!

So I just have to post these wonderful selfies of DUer retrowire and his lovely wife, with Bernie and HIS lovely wife!

With Bernie:



And with Bernie's wife:

2. I'm just spreading this for anyone who hasn't seen it yet

I was right in front against the rails! I shook his hand and my wife and I both got selfies with him and Jane.

3. I was going to include that in the OP but wanted to ask you first. Would you mind if

I did so? Because DUers, like you, are who I am thinking of in the OP!

[retrowire]

4. you go for it sabrina 1

I am only here to help.

[sabrina 1]

6. Great, will do it now! I love it, you must both be so thrilled!

[retrowire]

12. we totally are!

my wife and I had a blast and there's just so much to say but I'll save it for my op this afternoon! stay tuned!

[sabrina 1]

8. Okay, done. Thank you so much, both of you for keeping us involved

the way you did yesterday.

[senz]

24. Great photos of rw, lovely wife, Bernie, Jane, and many, many Bernie supporters.

Thanks to retrowire for taking them -- I felt like I was there! So glad to hear it went well and they had a good time. Bernie was totally into it, as always!

[zeemike]

7. Wow and those are great selfies too.

Keepers for sure.

[mountain grammy]

11. Thanks so much for the picture..

can't wait for Bernie to get back to Colorado. I missed him last time.. my spirit is photobombing you.

[retrowire]

13. hahaha spirit photobomb n/t

[sabrina 1]

40. I just noticed, there seems to be some security in the background.

People wondered if Bernie has any security at these events. Looks like regular police.

[retrowire]

43. I was going to mention that in my op later today!

there is more security than just that! I'll elaborate more later.

[sabrina 1]

44. Okay, great, looking forward to it!

[NorthCarolina]

5. The storm gains momentum

[sabrina 1]

9. That is impressive, a tsunami headed towards the worst of the

corporate propaganda machine! Lol! Can't happen soon enough!

[SmittynMo]

10. The beginning of an F5 tornado is about to happen

And this is after 5 months of campaigning. Wow, quite impressive. When the tornado eventually becomes that F5, the result will be the destruction of the GOP. I'm looking forward to it.

14. Hugs for retro and his beautiful wife...

Last night was so much fun because of them including all of us in their trip! It was like I was there. Thank you, retro!

This weekend my sister and I are doing a river cleanup for our beautiful local river. We'll be joining hundreds of people to walk the bank to clean up garbage and debris. Our plan: don our Bernie t-shirts and buttons, I'll wear my Bernie bucket hat and take some Bernie fliers and spread some Bernie LOVE! I plan to park my car in a prominent spot too so people will see all my Bernie bumper stickers!

Hundreds of people do the river cleanup, so it's going to be the perfect opportunity to spread the word!

Go, Bernie!

[retrowire]

16. and hugs from us to you! :) n/t

[sabrina 1]

18. That's sounds like a great day, doing something wonderful for

your environment and helping to get Bernie elected.

Let us know how people react!

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. I will! n/t

[Dustlawyer]

15. +1!!! Thanks.

Cannot wait for Bernie to come back to Houston, I missed him last time.

[MerryBlooms]

17. rec & kick

[ejbr]

19. Ok

[Enthusiast]

20. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

[Zorra]

21. We. Are. Mighty!

The pics of retrowire and Mrs. retrowire are awesome, thanks!

[SmittynMo]

23. OMG - just watched him at Liberty U

The closing remarks brought me to tears. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE can hold a candle to him. He is the real McCoy, sent to us to save this country.

[senz]

25. I'd love to see the Liberty U. speech.

Do you have a link, or were you there in person? If there's a link, could you post it? Thanks!

[SmittynMo]

27. It was a live local broadcast

I'm trying to find it elsewhere on the web, to show others.

[sabrina 1]

28. I watched it on Bernie2016TV's stream and it was just amazing.

I actually cried. Watching how Bernie can disagree with people, avoid any kind of pandering, yet, respect them as they did him.

Of all the speeches I've seen so far, this highlighted how sincere he is and the audience though they asked some touch questions where hugely respectful of him and he got a lot of applause. What a great teacher he is.

I don't have a link to the event yet, but I'm sure it will be on Utube and someone will post it.

[senz]

32. He is just the right person to do this.

I can't think of any other presidential candidate who could. Criminy, I'm getting teary reading your and SmittynMo's comments while thinking about what this man can do. He's so unassuming and yet so amazingly effective -- both at the same time. We are fortunate, the country is fortunate, maybe even the world is fortunate, for what this man is doing.

Hope the video/audio of the Liberty U. speech will be made available soon. Thanks!

[arcane1]

31. I hope it gets posted here, I can't wait to see it!

[senz]

33. Let's keep an eye out for it; this one's not to be missed.

Bernie walking into the belly of the beast -- or one of the bellies of one of the beasts, anyway.

Love his courage.

[arcane1]

34. Here it is:

[senz]

35. Wow. Thank you, arcane1!

I see it's a transcript, which is good for getting all the ideas and his intention in writing it. If it comes out in video/audio, we can catch the emphasis and emotion -- and audience reaction, which should also be interesting.

You're very sharp-eyed; I appreciate it!

Now to read the transcript...

[arcane1]

36. Keep scrolling, the video is at the end

[senz]

41. Found it; the video is better than the (partial) transcript.

He made it sound more like a sermon than his usual speech. Very appropriate and probably more effective, too.

[sabrina 1]

39. Here's a direct link to the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=21&v=bLNt2_bChK0

[senz]

42. Thanks -- his delivery was wonderful, excellent.

I'm so proud of Bernie. His courage alone would make him stand out from the field.


(sotto voce) -- I wonder if Hillary's advisers will be preparing her to deliver a speech to another Bible college/hotbed of conservatism?

[sabrina 1]

30. I just said the same thing, I cried watching it, how deeply respectful both he

and they were despite their disagreements, finding common ground where they could. It was moving. And you are right the man is so sincere, it just simply shines through and I believe he won some hearts there today.

[stage left]

26. Congrats to Retrowire and his wife!!

Great photos!! I wish I'd been able to shake Bernie's hand when he was here in Greenville.

[L0oniX]

29. Most excellent.

[SoapBox]

37. K & R for your post.

All this is so exciting!
