Used to live and work in DC; retired in MD now but have been to Press Club several times, and many who are in town SHOULD go.

And hearing Bernie Sanders speak there would be a real thrill.

I went to a black tie dinner there a couple of years ago when my son, an investigative journalist, received a Sigma Delta Chi award from SPJ (society of Professional Journalists). It was a great experience all the way around.

Yes, it's very good that he caucuses with Dems. What integrity & character, a true man of the people. Rare these days.

Will contact CSPAN if nec. If they can film Joe Scarborough at a bookstore event in DC last year they definitely should film Senator Sanders here in 2 weeks!
