I just drove 300 miles to see Bernie in my hometown of Pittsburgh!

It was absolutely worth it. When I drove into the city, the first thing I saw was a huge red sign that said "Bernie is not for sale". I saw a bunch of Bernie bumper stickers too and got to talk with a lot of people while waiting in line. Anyways I finally got to see him and I'm proud to have been a part of history, I'll be telling my grandkids about this someday.

I loved the ones I went to. It was nice seeing some many people with a hope for the future and not just a hope for power. I couldn't go the the Hillary one here, it was in a closed meeting with Boeing (you know the place that is about to fire a ton of their workers here).

Towards the end, the secret service had to rush someone near the front out because they went down. I guess Bernie makes people swoon. haha.
