Check in if you attended a Bernie Sanders event last night and say where......

......and say whether you've signed up as a volunteer!

Kansas City, MO for me. I was helping people sign up as they entered, and I'm going to Iowa in August.

The Iowa caucuses will be the major early milestone for the primaries.

I'm going to try to post pictures later.

FYI, People for Bernie is going to register as a PAC. I think I'm going to stick with that org and help them with structure.

Small town but a pretty good showing at about 30 people total. I was quite pleased with the response.

I am a volunteer, and have signed up to take the UTTERLY RIDICULOUS class to become a voter registrant. Not easy to register people here. It was a great night!

We had about 350 people attend our event at the Democratic party headquarters. The door was jammed from the outside so I stood in the foyer for most of the event, opened the door and directed people to the various places they wanted to go. I'm usually very shy and it was an amazing experience to personally greet almost every person who attended.
