7. All dog's children will feel the Bern!

I've been sporting a Bernie bumper sticker on my car for a few weeks now. No one has trashed my ride. No one has confronted me in a shopping center parking lot. {yet}.

Today I carpooled to a social event with a couple I had pegged as right-wingers (if not downright nut-jobs, (benefit of the doubt)). On the ride back we got into the "conversation." The couple told me they were just as disgusted with recent political events as I was (i.e. The RNC debate and its aftermath). I think I actually turned them.

This is what it is going to take:
• One or two voters at a time.
• One-on-one (or two) conversations.
• Step by mother-fuckin' step.

Considering what's at stake, can we afford to do anything less?
