Sanders supporters at Reddit organizing large rally in LA before California primary


Fun Fact: The rental fee for the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is $25,000 and holds over 130,000 people. It also happens to be available on the 3rd of June ... self.SandersForPresident

So the question really becomes, do we try to organize the largest Bernie rally in the history of Bernie's campaign, maybe even the US Presidency?

I decided it would be fun to email the people who run the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and ask the rate and availability for the 3rd, it's available to rent

Since I am an expat in Europe, I'd like some ideas on who to approach to help make this a reality. I'm thinking very much a "if you build it" field of dreams type of event. We do the ground work and convince Bernie to show up.

I gave $250 to the campaign today, but I'm sure willing to drop $500 into a gofundme to help make this happen.

Thoughts, ideas?

Shown a viable plan to pack the place, I'd add a C-Note to the GoFundMe page.

Do this? It sounds like a fantastic idea but maybe they already have something going then.
