Planning on arriving early to be one of the first in line, I cycled to the Minneapolis American Indian Center to see Bernie Sanders. Needless to say, I was not the only one who biked to this event. By the time I arrived (an hour early) the line was already long. As I changed out of my cycling shoes, I chatted with people in line. Soon it was a group of us talking and feeling excited. Someone mentioned it felt like a Wellstone crowd. I think that says a lot and maybe even says all. Sanders feels genuine and intelligent. Once inside, space filled quickly and even standing room was sparse. As an older couple from my church came over to say hi, I gave one of them my chair and sat on the floor. Everyone in the group did the same. The crowd seemed kind and generous, my kind of people. Without going into specifics, today made my resolve stronger. I will stick with Bernie until he wins presidency or gives up the good fight. Bernie Sanders is what's right and good in politics, and by "right," I really mean left!
