I've been listening to Bernie Sanders in his one man filibuster. it just got real hard. Because he is reading letters form Vermonters and they could be from my mother, from the people I grew up among. They describe my childhood...plasticing the windows, shutting off parts of the house to save on heat, selling off whatever you can to pay for the heat...
Bernie Sander's office numbers: DC (202) 224-5141 and Burlington (802) 862-0697.
I called; the DC number was busy but I spoke with someone in Vermont who actually talked to me for a bit. she was obviously very proud to be part of his crew right now.
Here's where you can watch:

Fuck Yeah, Bernie Sanders.
