Farmers
market tabling will soon end, but we shouldn't stop! Where else are
there crowds we can hand out info to? Would anyone be interested in
handing out flyers at UWL football games? High school games? Where
else? Who can set up tabling at local COLLEGES???
IMPORTANT
NEWS > The latest Marquette University Law School poll shows that
Clinton leads Sanders in Wisconsin by about 12 points among registered voters with Biden included in the mix. Without Biden, Clinton's lead
would likely be greater. MORE THAN 36% SAY THEY DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT
BERNIE SANDERS TO FORM AN OPINION! This is where WE come in!

REPORTS
ON LACROSSE4BERNIE EVENTS
TORCHLIGHT
PARADE – At least eight Berniacs walked with the La Crosse County
Democrats in Thursday night's parade. The weather was beautiful and
the route was packed with people. Throughout the route we could hear
inspiring shouts of YEA, BERNIE! Because of the darkness, crowds, and
wheeled parade participants weaving among the marchers, we didn't
hand out flyers but we will on Saturday. Thanks especially to Wayne
who drove all the way from Winona to march with us!
