May 2016

I remember reading and watching videos about him. This guy is the real deal. Very talented and a terrific Progressive activist. The Iowa Staff spoke very highly of him, as if he was a legend.

He seems like the perfect man for the job. I feel better all ready.

I have no idea what happened. This man may have decided that he was burned out on politics. However, if the Sanders camp had any reservations about him, it is good that he is gone and Becker and others are heading up CA.

I feel like Bernie is on fire!! Making changes. Pressing forward and making it happen. Awesome!

If I find that video, I will post it.
