Retired. Registered Dem just for Bernie. Colombian ancestry big time history buff going back to before the Knights Templar. Lone wolf. I mentioned Henry in my recent diary Enough with the proclamations and ultimatums.

The revolution ......

Its about Henry from Yonkers NY. A self described lone wolf. Henry was our Yonkers Canvass Captain, he created 6 canvass events in 6 days in Yonkers, each event in a different part of the city. From all those attendees he recruited enough people to host canvasses, the next week they had 6 canvass events hosted by all new recruits in Yonkers. SO henry moved into another town and did the same thing. All the while driving into the Sanders HQ in NYC to pick up lit and swag for the canvassers, and delivering these materials to all the different towns in Westchester, 2 to 3 times a week.

Henry hosted a canvass in Chappaqua NY. Yup Hillary's home town, he launched 37 canvassers at 10am the Saturday before the primary and was interviewed by the press. At the and of the day 60 canvassers had volunteered to go door to door. Henry plans on running for office.

Henry is one of those that took the loss in the NY Primary to heart, but he showed no let down. The next weekend he organized a car pool to Connecticut to go canvassing in Ct for Bernie. After Ct voted Henry made 2 trips to a week to NJ to host canvasses, bringing with him Westchester NY volunteers, and recruiting new volunteers in NJ. Henry made 8 trips to NJ to canvass in NJ over 5 weeks.

Henry touched peoples lives in 3 states.

When we decided to launch a canvass event in Chappaqua NY, and to make it a press event, Henry was the person for the job. We were going into Hillary Clinton's home town and we needed the best there was, and Henry delivered. I made sure to skip the new conference, the video cameras, the reporters. and let Henry take the lead. And he was golden.

Henry is the revolution, he is the campaign. Henry will not stand down. At the Yonkers Bernie office one night, about an hour before we closed, he made a confession I haven't felt this alive since I married my wife. That started the stories, everyone had their own version of how great it felt to be empowered, to be empowering for others.

Our core leadership in Westchester is like family. From age 14 to age 87, they all have an equal voice. And they all know when to speak up and when not to. They are all like Henry, they all have a very personal story to tell.

And every single one of them will not stand down. These are the veterans of Chappaqua, Yonkers, White Plains, Mamaroneck New Rochelle & Ossining. There is no quit in any of these people. Not once did anyone say....well a volunteer organization has to function under consensus.... because no one violated consensus.

Henry keeps our flag, our colors. The colors of the 1st Westchester Volunteers. Its the blue flag with Bernies white hair and glasses seen in the video. Henry is my brother, the revolution is live and in his heart.

Gil Scott Heron was right, The Revolution will be no rerun brothers, the revolution will be live.
