I will be the guy waving the two foot tall, four foot wide banner with this on one side..




and this on the other...






The Bernie 2016 one is slightly different, but not much. 2016 being offset to the right.

Let me know if I make it onto TV. Either way I will try again tomorrow at the town hall.



Edit to add

State police have the whole area closed off. Regrouping at nearby rally point but this looks like it may be a bust.

1. I love the enthusiasm of my fellow Bernie supporters

[Siwsan]

2. I want to welcome all of tonight's debate attendees to my home town, FLINT!!

Fortunately, it hasn't snowed, today.

4. Do you know if there is an exact point that Bernie supporters are meeting?

There is a facebook page but it just says to be outside of Whiting.

I plan on just going and driving around a little until I see other signs.



(Leaving soon. I have an hour plus drive to get there. If I don't respond right away, that is why.)

7. His headquarters are downtown in the Capital Theater Bldg, but I'd head right to the Whiting

Which, by the way, is a beautiful venue.

I'm not going because I'm avoiding all crowds to protect my health, as I am finally going to meet my Grand Niece in Asheville, this week. Don't want to risk catching anyone else's virus!

18. The Whiting is beautiful

As is the Flint Institute of Arts. The whole Cultural Center is amazing. And the Capital Theatre was owned by a friend of mine from high school's family, not sure if it still is or not.

What a great town it was to grow up in!

20. I got to perform at the Whiting, once upon a time

It was a wonderful experience. I've been to so many plays and concerts, there, I can't even keep count.

Flint is an amazing city. I hope people will pay attention to the positive aspects, too!

24. Michael Moore did a real disservice to the city with his movie

He really made Flint look horrible and I think it did more harm than good for people's views of what at one time was a city that others looked to as a model.

If you haven't yet, check out "Teardown", a book written by a friend of mine, Gordon Young, about the great history and eventual hardships Flint has seen over its history.

25. To be fair to Michael, Flint DID look like that, in the 80's

It has only been recently, within the past 10 years, that Flint has re-bloomed. Downtown campuses of Flint University of Michigan and Michigan State University have really revitalized the city. Kettering (formerly General Motors Institute) and Mott Community College are also in the down town area. Down town is chock a block full of students, now.

ALL of the department stores that once lined Saginaw Street (our beautiful stretch of red brick road) are gone and many of those buildings were empty/derelict at the time that Michael made 'Roger and Me'. Now there are smaller businesses, restaurants, bars, and loft apartments filling those buildings.

The Flint Farmer's Market is now down town and it is one of the top ten Farmer's Markets in the country.

So, 'Roger and Me' was a snap shot in time and we are doing everything in our power to re-invent our city from an industrial town to a college/service related town. Which is why this lead crisis is even more disastrous, happening when we were FINALLY making such amazing progress.

19. Ha

I just walked in from walking the dog in my shorts:p SC
But I know what is like I am from Upstate NY

21. We were hit with 10 inches of snow on Wednesday. Tomorrow it will be in the 60's

And close to 70, on Tuesday! From day to day, especially this time of year, it's anyone's guess what the weather will be. My daffodils have been poking up for about a month, now, but this weather has them in a state of suspended animation.
