6. THANK YOU BERNIE ONCE AGAIN...

I bought some T-shirts and bumper stickers along the way before CA. I've saved a little money for some extra items. Have been giving $25 a month for almost a year and haven't stopped.

I loved listening to him again and want him to fight as hard as he can to have these issues put into the Democratic platform and am waiting to see the success he may have. Despite ALL odds he actually HAS made THE CURRENT DEMOCRATIC PARTY see what true grit is by never giving up on WE THE PEOPLE!"

I'm a BOOMER who is so glad that I've been able to witness what he's fought so hard to show me AGAIN and why I joined the Democratic party over 40 years ago. It's in THEIR hands as to whether I'll remain a Democrat!

I FERVENTLY hope that his leadership has been able to excite enough of the younger generation to continue what he started. I've never had any pipe dreams about him actually winning the nomination because I think many of those who have done so much to ignore us has let this country slowly fall apart. They need to finally understand that WE are the GLUE that made America what it once was! Perhaps they will FINALLY be exposed for who they are and THEY will come to understand what he's been about since DAY ONE!

I know I can't be one who will get behind those in power who turned against us and used their power to enrich themselves and have been able to fool so many who are unwilling to see!

But, there is a part of me who deeply wants to see HIS CHANGE work and go forward. I have no illusions about the fact that CHANGE takes time and it all starts with "baby steps" despite what far too many think his supporters represent. Those of us who have been activists for so many years DO understand this and can only hope that the younger supporters realize that there is NO instant gratification!

Never forget his name and never forget his cause!
