So bummed

Just found out Bernie is coming to Ypsilanti Monday and I can't go. Stupid student teaching!

I hope a thousand people take my place.

Just down the road from Ann Arbor, which is where I live.

My friend, who is related to Granholm, just told me she's going.

My sister and brother-in-law live in Fenton...when I casually mentioned Bernie to her a couple weeks ago she said...who?

My BIL is one of those types that stays in the basement and watches FuksFakeNews.

Hoping Bernie can get some attention in the state!
