Bernie HQ open house tonight in Winston-Salem NC—I was there with my camera

A stenciled image to get us to feel the Bern



A cutout of Bernie to make us feel he is with us in spirit


A shot of the Audience—maybe 350 people / I’m totally guessing but the large room was standing room and sit on floor only


People from the audience got up to speak, we had 4 spontaneous and impressive speakers




A couple of friends of mine posing with Bernie




And finally a closeup of the young 22 year old local leader of it all "at home" after a hard day's work. He is staying with me.

We had a state wide leader of the efforts for Bernie here, and we were told that our efforts were more impressive those of other cities.
The speakers we had were unplanned, extremely knowledgeable, 2 of them were University professors, one of economy, one a lawyer saying she had just celebrated her college debt falling below six figures.

I've done some hiking in that area, and love to soak in the history, and hit the W-S restaurants. And of course, enjoy Moravian cookies!

Really empowering for you to show this and a demonstration that others can do wonderful things as well. GREAT!!!

Soon Bernie2016.tv will have many feeds to select from! (But I really like Bernie2016.tv and i have it on a lot, such as exercising.)

Go Bernie!!! Again, wonderful! This is really people powered and springs from all of us, not just the 1%.



Go Bernie!!!!

These people need to be shunned for "real" Democrats at Goldman Sachs.
