If the people who believe in Bernie and his vision...

who are committed to standing with him as he runs for President, are joined by just half of those who admire his vision but fear it is unachievable, then Bernie can win in a landslide. And Bernie winning in a landslide is how mountains begin to move...

A chance like this is rare, it would be sad indeed if we didn't seize it.
