Submitted by deSoul on Sat, 10/15/2016 - 7:51pm
After a couple of appearances on the campaign trail in Colorado, including one with Elizabeth Warren in Denver on Sunday, Bernie will be on the University of Colorado campus in Boulder to rally the students, the 5,000 ColoradoCare volunteers, the faithful and the interested to bring universal health care to the state. This rally is just for ColoradoCare and nothing else.

The last time Senator Sanders had a rally on campus the scene was electric.
This should be hip.

I have no use for this quisling.
He's just trying to get them to vote for Hillary. "Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
You've been fooled.

Yeah. Could President Trump be worse?

Just more sheep dogging for the shill
by Bernie, How about universal health care for the whole country!
for the whole country
Those of us who supported A69 before it even got to the ballot want Colorado to pass it for more than one reason -- including taking the leadership in universal healthcare as we did with access to cannabis. One reason for that is: when the rest of the Nation notices that Colorado's society didn't evaporate like smoke when we adopted single payer universal healthcare, they'll be more receptive to the idea no matter what Big Insurance throws in the way.
Again, an exact parallel to Colorado's experience with cannabis. Other States started legalizing once they saw that Colorado did it and no (unusual) lightning fell from the skies to destroy us when we did so.

I think you've got the right idea here.
Other controversial laws were started in a few states before they spread nationally. I am thinking of same sex marriage, but I'm sure there are other examples.
Bernie no doubt realizes how important this is...the alpha test site for universal health care. Work out the bugs there in Colorado before it gets rolled out in another state in the future.
Big Whoop! not
Sorry no can believe as far as Bernie goes regardless of his motives and intentions. He's really useless as a vehicle for some real change. Hat tip top all of us who supported our movement not his and refuse to buy this shit. What a freaking boondoggle.
In other words a complete hornswoggle.
Oh yeah Bernie universal healthcare is just a kiss away from Killary's butt, not. He never fooled me as he refused to take her on righteously (nobody cares about your damn e-mails) and his foreign policy stance is from hell. So no thanks I don't give a rats ass what Bernie or Elisabeth Warren have to say. If the students in Colorado believe this garbage I hope they wake up and realize that there is no universal healthcare available under Clinton or the Hairball. Jeeze Bernie you have outdone yourself with your sheep dogging and lies.
I hope no one shows up to support this bogus remnant from his bogus political revolution. This includes those healthcare 'reforms' Killary will surely implement not. Right the most
oppressiveprogressive platform ever. Gimmie a break deSoul. Bernie please exit the stage and stop sheep dogging us. Elisabeth go soak your nasty two faced neoliberal heads. Neither of you are plausible or believable.I'll be driving past CU on the way home from work
right around the time the doors open. No intention of stopping to see The Sheepdog, but should be able to gauge the size of the crowd as I pass by - will try'n post at least a comment about it on Monday night or Tuesday.
You forgot 'hoodwinked'
As in Obama hoodwinked us all when he promised and campaigned for public option as a part of his health care reform package.
Love is my religion.
Who is
this Bernie you talk of?
Mouthpiece.

Amendment 69 - ColoradoCare
NOTE: Despite everything I say below, I'm still voting for and advocating for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party for President in 2016. The mainstream parties can take their crap cereal and shit cereal and eat it themselves. That being clarified and said:
I live in Colorado and always have. Amendment 69 is a great idea and it needs all the help it can get from anywhere it can get it. Yes, even from Bernie and Elizabeth. I'd heartily accept it from Donald Trump, too.
Here's why: Big Insurance is spending mucho mas dinero through their bullshit astroturf "Coloradans for Coloradans" organization (which contains almost no Coloradoans and almost no Coloradoan dollars) to defeat A69 and keep us in thrall to them so that Serf dollars continue flowing into their pockets.
Like it or not, people, we need the Hillbots (like Governor Hickenlooper) to get behind this if it is to have the slightest chance of passing. Like it or not, we need all Coloradoans to vote YES on Amendment 69, regardless of which oval they choose to darken for President.
Were I physically able to attend this rally, I would.
Seriously, we need Colorado to take the lead here as we did with legalization of recreational use cannabis. And I'd like to see Dr. Jill Stein solidly on board behind it, too. (I know she already is in principle, but pro-active backing of 69 itself would be really great, too!)
A question for the OP: Is the rally being streamed anywhere, for us homebound types?

Hope Amendment 69 passes
As well as Prop 61 here in California, which Our Revolution is also supporting, that will significantly lower prescription drug prices. Our single-payer initiative, California OneCare, seems to have got stuck in the mud, just when the Democrats got a governor (Jerry Brown) and a needed 2/3 majority in the Legislature and have no more excuses. If the marijuana legalization proposition passes, the state will have more money and even less excuse not to make a single payer system.
Beware the bullshit factories.
Good luck Colorado
Wishing you the best of luck in getting this passed. Be sure to let us know how the rallly goes. It is good to have a few states that aren't owned and operated by the brain dead.
