2. Me too! It was his campaign that brought me to the Dem Party in 1992

I worked on his campaign in Calif and had a political awakening that year. It ranks high up there as one of the greatest years of my life.

It was a revolutionary campaign in a lot of ways - the first campaign to refuse corporate & lobbyist contributions, $100 max contribution limits from individuals only, first campaign to use a 1-800 number for donations. Jerry drove around in a little mini-van. 1992 was before the "internets" as we know it today but we unofficially organized ourselves on an on-line email list.

I'm with you, I miss that campaign and I miss Jerry Brown - a lot! Thanks for posting that little reminder.

3. Yes thats right! I met him in Phoenix..

He was excited about my Greenpeace magazine that I was carrying. His campaign was great and he outlasted everyone. I wish I could find this nightline video of him confronting Bill Clinton. I thought Bill Clinton was going to jump out of his seat and pop him. His head turned purple, it was great!

5. This is great. It should wake some folks up. Politics has always been a contact sport
