ok, i just delivered my very biggest huff and puff to bernie sanders sails.

quite accidently stumbled on a local appearance by bernie sanders.

$15 at a local irish saloon. srsly

so i hopped on it. another member of my local ward committee was there.

now, not bragging, but this particular committee has a long time relationship with a skinny kid with a funny name.

i have the enormous privilege of being represented by jan schakowsky, and she has one of the most amazing campaign machines ever. even tho she wins by 70%, min, every time.

we got cred. no brag just fact.

well, as fate would have it being one of the last into the room put me a few feet from the podium.
 
i was in a very good mood. i was so happy to have drifted in there.

i was a little noisy.

i would have been a lot noisy, but fortunately my whistle was a little dry.

i fouind a moment to holler that the smile was awesome. which brought another smile and a quick explain about the rachel bit.

and i showed myself to be a noisy jan fan. a couple times.

so, my friend and i decide that we must get bernie.

he must come visit us.

we are at his beck and call.

get ready to pounce i tell him.

and
and

at the end of his remarks, tho he was going to cut to questions,
i
i
i pounced

i popped up in front of the podium, told him that the 49th ward dems had to have him

i told him to point at a staffer.

he was a tad flustered, but clearly flattered.

i ducked out

and i went back to the sign in table and asked to talk to the senior there.

had a nice chat with his finance director. got the card. got the email.

i was happy.

then, he exits right past me.

and my favorite state representative, who was part of the planning, and my fellow member.
 
i gleefully shook his hand, introduced my friend, reiterated the invite.

he told me that we need to keep up the good work. he knew us.

so, i huffed and i puffed and i bleeewwww that little trial balloon up a little higher.
 
all for $15. (did drop a little more than that, to boot.)

we want bernie. we gonna get bernie if he runs i GUAAAARRAAAANTEEEEE.

Mo must've been drunk.  At least it looks that way.

Reads like Nads has been helping her with her writing skills.  How does this tie in with her other post where she lost her ward healer seat. 

I have no sympathy for Bernie the commie but, I can envision his panic when assaulted by the drunk, fat, tattooed DUmmie.

When reading the ward healer thread, I Nadined the 49th ward and her stumbling into the Irish pub popped up.

I am not...repeat...NOT stalking that slug "mopinko".  I am mostly familiar with her from back in the days that I lived in the Chicago area.  I was very civil with her under my DU long-term "mole", always thought she lived in Oak Park.

Which is nowhere near Jan Schakowsky's district.  I should know, I was subjected to living under being "represented" by that crazy woman...however briefly.

And Schakowsky's House District doesn't even wander into Chicago proper, not to mention the 49th ward or whatever.

I'll let y'all investigators delve further.  Me thinks she is telling lots of lies.

Interesting. Kudos to Dori and Coach.
