So the Tulsa County Democrats had a booth at the Tulsa State Fair.

I went there to correct my voter registration card because the address got slightly messed up. I noticed they had Bernie stuff there I donated what I could $15.00 to the Tulsa County Democrats and got a Bernie 2016 shirt and two Bernie pins. The people there said the Bernie shirts were popular which I thought was pretty cool. So they couldn't find a medium sized shirt for me but it turns out the large fit me almost perfectly. Anyway I have to say it feels pretty good to advertise Bernie and at the same time help keep Republicans out of office as best as you can in OK anyway.

Meaning can independents pick a D or R ballot to vote? It is open in NC, so independents can vote for Bernie in the primary.

Anywho, what is important is that Bernie wins the OK primary. We need as many delegates as we can get in the primary, so it doesn't matter if there are just 100 D's as long as 60 of them vote Bernie.

That seems to be inherent to the Tea Party movement.

that the Republicans are pretty free to vote for useless, unconstitutional bills that will of course result in the States Attorney General wasting taxpayer dollars to lose in the inevitable court cases. And then the AG will waste more taxpayer dollars in the inevitable appeal. I have seen a few good Democrats but they just get into a position to create positive change. The inmates truly run the assylum here.

With all the Christian booths and junk and some pushy proselytizing. It's Just a big Ford advertisement with fried whatever on a stick anymore.

Well Done!

I've lived in solid Blue states and cities like Minneapolis.
It was easy being a Democrat there....just follow the crowd.

Down here behind the lines, sometimes we have to stand alone,
and risk damage to our property or selves by doing stuff like this:
