I was a very long time lurker at the big orange until the latest HRC mess, and was very happy to see caucus99percent start up. As I've also been on a long recovery from an illness that damaged the way my vision processes text, I don't post much since by the time I can interpret posts, the replies from others usually have covered anything I want to say, but I'm a very enthusiastic supporter of the open dialog that's happening here...and yes, especially the pro-Bernie/antiHRC stuff.

Anyway, as an ex-hippie, extremely Progressive-minded 64 year old who's been living in a deeply red state for many years (it's affordable!), it's quite thrilling to see so much openly enthusiastic support for Bernie Sanders in Idaho that includes signs and bumperstickers around town. During both Obama campaigns I saw few of these for him because this is hardcore Mitt country, and the local corporate, conservative news media refused to report on much other than Mittens.

The dominant network here is NBC and amongst the lead stories tonight was a great segment on this morning's Bernie's rally at BSU. Am hearing plenty of positive buzz around the neighborhood as well, something I never expected. The 5:00o'clock news report had some great interviews too - am still in shock that they're allowing Bernie supporters to speak on camera, without dismissing the issues or people's enthusiasm - unprecedented here.

Thanks so much for this forum and hello to all of you fine caucus99percent folk!
