Houston/Dallas - THIS WEEKEND - Bernie's national campaign staff holding meetings

Here are the times/locations:

Dear TBF,

The revolution starts now!

Bernie's success has been a huge shock to the establishment. Bernie has given us a real shot at taking our country back from the billionaire class. Now the only question is: will we, Bernie's millions of supporters, actually do the work that wins presidential campaigns?

Come answer that question with national campaign staff in person in these cities: Austin, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Oklahoma City. (Details below and more cities to come!)

This coming week, we are coming to Texas to talk to you in person about the plan to win and ask you what role you want to play in the victory.

For President: Convict No. 9653

On Nov. 2, 1920, Eugene V. Debs received one million votes in the U.S. presidential election while in prison. He was serving a 10 year sentence for his speech in Canton, Ohio against the war. Here is an excerpt from that speech: "And here let me emphasize the fact—and it cannot be repeated too often—that the working class who fight all the battles, the working class who make the supreme sacrifices, the working class who freely shed their blood and furnish the corpses, have never yet had a voice in either declaring war or making peace. It is the ruling class that invariably does both."
