Can we get 100K to go to DC for Bernie?

Imagine if 100,000 of us all traveled to Washington D.C. to hear Bernie Sanders speak! Think of the message that would send! 100,000 people already gathered for Bernie across the nation on July 29, 2015. We can do it again, this time together in D.C.!

What you can do to make this happen:
1) RSVP by clicking Join and select 'Going'
2) Click on Invite to invite friends you know
3) Click on Share to spread the word about this Bernie event!

NOTE: This is only an IDEA at this stage. If we get enough RSVPs (100,000) we will submit to Bernie's campaign team for endorsement and coordination.

(ACTUAL DATE TO BE DETERMINED)

Bernie has three days on the West Coast coming up. Seattle and Portland will have over 10,000 a piece. Los Angeles is on the 10th.

This is building.

In Oct? That is possible. I think it will happen, if people spread the word around.

Very exciting. Bernie has some great volunteers working for him.

Imagine if there was a 100K person rally in DC a week or two before the first debate in Nevada on Oct 13!
