Did you volunteer for Barack Obama's '08 or '12 campaign, and are you a Sanders supporter?

Are you interested in some grassroots organizing for Bernie while the campaign gets rolling?

Window sign for Obama in 08.

I plan to get more involved for Bernie Sanders after I retire next month.

was a state convention delegate, poll watcher--all except the first for the first time. In 2012 felt betrayed and did none of the above (did vote; always have).

Damn right I'm a Bernie supporter.

08...data input, donated, donated billions of 8.5 X 11 window sign copies, had signs in all my windows and stickers on my car, contributed money.

12...don't remember...don't think I did anything as I was caring for my Mom and had just returned to work.

Support Bernie? Bloody hell yes!

I so want an office in my area eventually but understand that this campaign is different as compared to all others...it will be worked online and with social media.

I knew both were corporatists (Obama being slightly better on the war, and Clinton being slightly better on health care), and both were vastly superior to Republicans.
