48. You missed a great house party yesterday!

"That Hillary Group wouldn't know the truth if it hugged and french kissed them." LOL!

There were so many people there that we could hardly move. Yes, in wealthy and conservative Arroyo Grande (I had never been up in that area before and was astounded at the homes--$750,000 and up wouldn't you say?) There were so many cars parked along the street that it was a real hike to the house. There is certainly a movement when you can get that many people out on a Saturday afternoon--a bright and warm afternoon after all the rain and clouds--to hear Bernie speak and to volunteer (Did I mention that the house was huge so there must have been at least 75 people there!!!! And there were several other house parties in SLO yesterday, all over the county!)

By the way, there were 3 people there from the South County Democrats and no one has been showing up for the meetings. I explained that between all the work we are doing to stop the Phillips 66 spur/oil trains, to fight Freeport Mcmoran in their attempts to poison our aquifer, and to elect Bernie...and all the grants right now that I am writing, we have just been too busy but that we will be there for the February meeting.
