Teamsters and electricians came from Minnesota with professionally made signs.
One gave me his sign. I remember it fondly. And kept that sign. I drag it to every event that calls for a sign.

Hubby and I are both retired union.. and we cannot get up there.. You know I have the greatest Biden sign story.
When my son was 19 he was all for Biden, and hubby and I were Team Obama in 2008.. Well he signed in everyone for the Biden team at caucus and he did not get the 15%... but he saved the sign from his desk...forward to 2012 and VP Biden was in Sioux City, and I took that sign from his room (he was off to college) and drug it down to where VP Biden was speaking for their 2012 run.. I took it up to him and he signed it, and we gave it framed to our son who has it in his office now.

So hang on the that wonderful Teamsters sign..they look great framed and you will keep you memory forever

I did see Biden speak in the front row of the reserved section. I knew then he would run, that I’d support him and he will win. With the help of unions.
