And speaking of 'Grass Roots' efforts -- have you all seen the 'Boat for Bernie' ?

Pete Anderson from Marin, California is taking a modified one-man dorie boat down the Chicago River to the Illinois River to the Mississippi River -- traveling from Chicago to New Orleans in a two-month trip -- by himself -- to promote Bernie Sanders for President.

More here on their Facebook Page where they post stories of where he is and who is talking to along the way: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Boat-for-Bernie/785997428164146?sk=timeline

He started September 1 from Diversey Harbor in Chicago and is currently somewhere in the Peoria, Illinois area-- If you are on Facebook, please 'like' it and share!

I enjoy reading where he's at on a given day -- two nice Illinois people pulled him off a sand bar yesterday.
