Bernie Rally, Speech and 'People's March' to the J-J Dinner in Des Moines, Iowa Saturday, WOW!

Last edited Tue Oct 27, 2015, 07:36 PM - Edit history (1)



After a large outdoor campaign rally in Des Moines yesterday, Bernie spoke to and then led 2,000 supporters on a PEOPLE'S MARCH over the Women for Achievement Bridge to the evening Iowa Democrats Jefferson-Jackson Dinner.
The MARCH was making a BIG STATEMENT Bernie told the crowds:

~ "This March will not only get us to the event tonight, it is a SYMBOLIC MARCH.
It makes me think about the great marches for civil rights, immigration reform, social justice and environmental crises.
This is a march which will end up in a year when you join me in the WHITE HOUSE.

What this CAMPAIGN is about is not just electing a president. It is TRANSFORMING AMERICA- that's what this campaign is about." ~ Bernie Sanders, Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 24, '15.

Go Bernie!

the biased, corporate-owned mainstream media headlines/stories. The truth, facts and power of Bernie's message are circulating all over any way!

It's about People Power and "Transforming America" like he says!
