Pic post from Dallas - Volunteers stand with Bernie

We were fortunate to see Bernie speak at the Sheraton and Ms. 7wo7rees offered to volunteer.

Just a couple photos, but this one shows the youngest volunteer we've seen in some time. She is the hope for the next century.

We have proof he likes to smile!

In the 2nd pic was the attorney for OWS in Dallas.
It was a very diverse, energetic group of people.
I feel hopeful, and I have not for a long time.
Thanks for checking in.

He is huge with the under 40s in my circle of acquaintances. But I have to admit, the over 40 crowd is starting to post Bernie quotes,too.

It may be progressive Seattle, though.

I like seeing these photos from Arizona, it is hard for me to remember good people also live there. Such the news I get, I never intend on going there. I should re-evaluate my own bias.

...projection of the demographic he's resonating with too. It looks pretty broad so far to me. Nice to see.

You're right to guard against slipping into the mindset that Arizonians are racist, it's an easy trap to fall into given the news that comes out of that state. Living in Texas, as I do, It's not like I'd have any room to do that anyway given the shit that goes on in this state.
