believe frankly. They spend so much money polling and figuring out what their chosen candidates can and cannot say and the very fact that they HAVE to poll to try to figure it out shows how far removed they are from the people.

Our job is to get to those people who have given up on the entire system and tell them about Bernie.

Once the learn about him many of them ARE becoming enthused again not because of what he is saying NOW but because he has a long record that assuages their fears that this is just more campaign rhetoric.

Once in a lifetime! Yes, and if we don't take this chance, then we may as well just sit back and watch as it all continues to go downhill for average people.

But I think we CAN do it. I think there is enough anger among the people that they are willing to become active in getting it done.
