Good luck to us all!

I spent the afternoon canvassing in my rural county in PA today with my 12 year old daughter. I'll be working my butt off to try to win PA for Bernie, but I know it's uphill. Canvassing takes a lot out of me. I am extremely shy, and knocking on the doors of strangers does not come easily to me. It takes Senator Bernie Sanders to inspire me to do it at all.
What is unbearable is the crap on GDP that is so insulting, snide and just plain nasty that it has become unbearable. I think I can be most helpful to the campaign if I tune it all out for the next few weeks, and concentrate on the nuts and bolts of (in my small way) helping to win PA.
Good luck to the campaigners in NY, and good luck to us all! See ya in a few weeks!
