Sanders' Flint campaign office delivering free water

http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2016/02/bernie_sanders_flint_campaign.html

The campaign office in Flint was the first location opened by the campaign in Michigan and the only site by a presidential candidate in the city.

"We've had people coming in from around the state and the country," said Hughes, with residents looking for volunteer opportunities, as well as dropping off bottled water donations for residents to pick up.

Check out the comments following this article for photos of campaign office and yuuuuge stacks of water
being given for free and/or delivered for free.

Bring your own water!

@MFan Actually, we did... and we pass it out, WITHOUT ASKING QUESTIONS or REQUIRING ID. If you live in Flint and want to come in, the HQ is located on Harrison and Third in downtown Flint, across from the bus station.

A friend of mine brought a half pallet, the rest he will bring next week. We deliver water to people who cannot make it to downtown. If you or someone you know are in that situation, message me on facebook and I will drive some water to you.

Old senior that I am, I lack the knowledge to do that. Can you also post the other picture from my link showing the inside of Bernie's Flint office with the yuuuuge stack of water bottles?
Thanking you in advance, I remain your humble & obedient servant, etc.

you can hold your mouse over the picture, right click it, and if you see something like "Copy Image Link", click that, and then just paste the link into your post.

On a sterner note the lousy Republican fucks that are allowing this disgrace to continue need to be brought up on charges. According to the US Census, there are 102,434 people in the City of Flint. In my opinion the US Justice Department needs to bring these shits up on 102,434 individual charges of attempted first degree murder. This is because the crime was premeditated - they wanted to save money even though they KNEW the effects of lead in water.

The doctoral theses which will be written about their lifetimes of deepening greed, grifting and self-dealing; the psychoanalyses of their respective personalities and how they fed off of and enabled each other; revelations of the intricate and exploitative connections between corporations and the Clinton Family Foundation - with Haiti being the textbook example/Harvard Business School case study; the future Shakespeare who will write a chilling tragedy/trilogy about the Clintons and Medvinskys - what a cast of complex supporting characters.

Paging Dr. Who and the Tardis!
