In less than a week, on July 1st, Bernie Sanders is hoping to fill up the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Madison Wisconsin with 12,000 supporters. Let's spread the word and make this happen! As you are all surely aware, Bernie Sanders got a lively crowd of over 5,000 to show up for him in Denver on short notice, so we can do this! People are starting to notice Bernie. It's hard to ignore him when he draws the big crowds. After the Denver event, I noticed the change in the media coverage. They are taking him more seriously. Some more links and info under the squiggle.
Here is where to RSVP
The Details

1919 Alliant Energy Center Way

As I write this, over 1,500 people have signed up so far, since the announcement yesterday. Please do not RSVP unless you can actually attend the event. It will not help to falsely inflate the numbers.
Check out the 50,000 strong group supporting Bernie Sanders on Reddit. By comparison, Reddit also has two groups supporting Hillary Clinton here and here, but they each have less than 300 members.
And check out these shiny new Bloomberg poll numbers! Bernie Sanders is taking a chunk of support directly from Hillary Clinton in both Iowa and New Hampshire. In Iowa, Sanders is at 24%, Clinton at 50%. In New Hampshire, Sanders is at 24%, Clinton at 56%. Compared to the previous polls by this same outfit, Clinton is down 6 to 7 points, and Sanders is up 7 to 8 points. O'Malley and Chaffee barely register.
Exercise your democracy and Feel the Bern!
