I just plugged in the zip code for Waikiki, but that map shows numerous other meetings across ALL of the Hawaiian islands as well.

It sure looks like a 50 State campaign indeed.

Very impressive.

[Luminous Animal]

23. If you zoom out, you can see Hawaii and Alaska.

[wilsonbooks]

5. This is turning into a real revolution.

Go Bernie!!!!!

[Scuba]

6. I'm looking forward to it! Will report Thursday a.m. Find an event near you at ...

https://go.berniesanders.com/page/event/search_simple

[Luminous Animal]

7. There are 80 events within 10 miles of my house in San Francisco! Crazy.

[beam me up scottie]

8. K&R!

Isn't it wonderful to have a candidate we can be excited about?

I don't want to have to vote against the Republican in 2016, I want to cast my vote FOR a progressive.

You GO Bernie!

[azmom]

9. Been looking forward to it since this

Weekend.

Go Bernie

[Cosmic Kitten]

10. Getting PSYCHED!!!!

This time tomorrow it will be ON!


The Burn will be spreading like wildfire east to west!

Get psyched, grab a friend, meet up
and build this game changing movement!



Go Berniacs!

[magical thyme]

11. cool! my little, very red village has 32 RSVPs

40 chairs and based on response levels say they think they may end with standing room only!

21 meetings in Maine!

[WillyT]

12. Huge K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[Enthusiast]

13. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

[winter is coming]

14. 92K now. Wonder if they'll break 100 before tomorrow night. n/t

[tomm2thumbs]

15. 92,138 RSVPs and rising

I think so

[Cosmic Kitten]

16. Updated number from campaign!

[font size="12"]3344 Organizing meetings!

94,425 RSVP's!
[/font size]

[2banon]

40. And those are just the official RSVP's ! The one in my neighborhood is already fully booked but

I'm attending anyway. I have to imagine I'm NOT the only one of the "uncounted" RSVP's. it'll be interesting to see a total count of folks attending that were not able to rsvp.

[aspirant]

17. If everyone of us can reach just 10 people

we're almost at a million shoes on the ground.

If Bernie keeps opening up uncharted Repub states, there's no stopping us.

[Cosmic Kitten]

20. It's a helluva start,

It could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team.

[Luminous Animal]

18. This is a historical moment. Because RSVPs don't count the people the RSVPer's are bringing with

them. There will be far more than 100,000 people at tomorrows organizing event.

Nothing like this has ever happened. And all across the country. Blue, red, and in between.

[Cosmic Kitten]

19. Absolutely. This is a BIG effin deal ;~)

[WorseBeforeBetter]

21. Wow. I'm pretty surprised at the number in North Raleigh.

That's *very* encouraging!

[Cosmic Kitten]

31. Bernie's campaign transcends traditional boundaries

This nation is ready for the change
Bernie will lead us towards!

Lets help build a mass movement
of millions of people for change!

[WorseBeforeBetter]

71. I'm just bummed I couldn't make one... work.

But there will be more!

Ah, just found this from our Indy paper...

Why I'm supporting Bernie Sanders
By Bob Geary

[restorefreedom]

22. they provided the link to watch

for all the gatherings. so i imagine even if your gathering is a party of one or a few, there seems to be no reason not to be able to watch. live at 7.30 and 10.30 pm est. it will also be available to watch later

looks like SO and i will be having a very tiny party..getting excited!


wish i had picked up some doritoes at the store......

[aspirant]

24. Do they sell Doritos by the barrel

because in some places that might not even be enough?

[eridani]

25. I'll be joining 149 other people in a brewery

This IS the Pacific Northwest, after all.

[artislife]

28. I saw that!

It is full....have to do with my small one on the eastside.


across Lake Washington!

[Cosmic Kitten]

30. NOW THAT sounds like a great time

It will probably be more exciting
in that brewery than on Superbowl Sunday!

Pacific Coast hops....mmmmmmmm
Have an IPA for me pleeeeeze!

[eridani]

73. Had a diet coke--had to drive there and back

The organizers had an overflow, and decided to hold an event at 4pm as well. What happened was that they cycled the video through quite a few times from 4 to 8pm. That meant people coming and going all the time, so there couldn't really be an organized program in addition to the video. Still it was nice to be part of a really big crowd.

[LWolf]

61. A brewery would have been a great spot.

We've got a few on the east side of the Cascades, but it looks like we've got events in some homes and a different local business.

[SamKnause]

26. This is so very very exciting !!!!

I will be watching from Ohio at 7:30 ET.

Do I dare have hope that this country can change direction ???

It is time for the 99% to take control and silence the 1%.

[dreamnightwind]

27. I'm going with my son and my parents

We had to go to register for the 4th closest event, the other 3 had already filled up. Small towns, Sonoma county, northern California. One of the filled up ones had 200 people capacity, filled up way early. We'll be driving about 45 minutes each way. So happy my parents wanted to go, they rarely if ever go to political events but want to go for Bernie.

There is a lot of excitement out there!

[Cosmic Kitten]

29. K&R.... Get psyched, people!

Lets get this mass movement rolling!



So far this is turning out to be an
unprecedented turnout for an
Organizing Meeting!

We are going to have over 100,000 participants!

We will get the attention of over a MILLION people.

You just can't but this kind of exposure or enthusiasm!!!

WE WILL WIN!

[Cosmic Kitten]

32. Catch the Bern TONIGHT live stream

38. Hey, I'm a Bernie fan myself...

Just not one of those Bernie fans that are pissing off and harassing Black Lives Matters activists.

[Android3.14]

41. <sigh>

[Cosmic Kitten]

43. LULZ you just called 90% of DU the worst persons on the interwebz

and didn't get a hide!?!

UN•BE•LIEV•ABLE

[raouldukelives]

35. K&R for grassroots reality. nt

[Cosmic Kitten]

47. Reality is exactly right! This isn't a phone "poll" of 500 people!

This is the REAL WORLD and 100,000 people
have said YES to Bernie's call to mobilize!

[BainsBane]

37. Now you just need to see how many actually show up. nt

[Cosmic Kitten]

48. Hopefull more than the 500o that attended Hillarys BIG Campaign kickoff!

A megalopolis of 8 million+
and a paltry 5000 show up...
on a weekend!?

[BainsBane]

49. You think this is about a social event?

The park was full to capacity.

She's got 60 percent of Democrats in the polls. You get this is about votes, not likes on facebook or non-scientific pols on DU? No, I don't think you do.

You all threw away the votes of most loyal voting block in the Democratic Party. You're going to have to work overtime to get Republican and independent votes to make up for that. Luckily for you, it seems to be working.

Hillary 57% overall support
64% identifying at very liberal
58% identifying as liberal
59% identifying as moderate
37% identifying as somewhat conservative
27% identifying as very conservative

Sanders 22% overall support
26% identifying at very liberal
19% identifying as liberal
16% identifying as moderate
31% identifying as somewhat conservative
42% identifying as very conservative

[Cosmic Kitten]

50. Percents are meaningless without raw numbers.

Bernie and the People are showing
what real commitment looks like.

Responding to a poll requires nothing
but a desire to express an opinion.

Getting out to an Organizing Meeting
is a whole nother thing.

I'll take 100,000 activists over
60% "of those polled" ANY DAY, ALL DAY.

We won't need to "weight" the results
to account for demographics either!

[ismnotwasm]

51. Well conservative is as conservative does.

I'd certainly care if I was a Sanders supporter.

[Cosmic Kitten]

52. M'Kay My conservative neighbors REALLY like Bernie!

These gun toting, 4x4 driving, working folk
know the real deal when the see it.

They aren't even considering the republicans
and Hillary... pfft

SO as for the "conservatives"
outside the beltway, Bernie is a lock

[Agony]

53. I'l take Sanders Republicans over Reagan Democrats any day o' the week

[Cosmic Kitten]

62. Crazy world, eh?

[Agony]

68. ...

anecdotal, yes but in my little corner of the world I am talking to people who I know are R's that are expressing surprising (to me) support for what Bernie stands for and the way he is doing politics in an honest and straightforward way that they feel has been missing… imagine that.

Cheers

[Luminous Animal]

56. A huge chunk of people who self-identify as conservatice actual hold liberal views.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2014/03/06/why-most-conservatives-are-secretly-liberals/

A recent book by two political scientists shows that liberal may be a dirty word, but liberalism is alive and well — even among people who call themselves “conservative.”

In Ideology in America, Christopher Ellis and James Stimson describe a striking disjuncture. When identifying themselves in a word, Americans choose “conservative” far more than “liberal.” In fact they have done so for 70 years, and increasingly so since the early 1960s.

But when it comes to saying what the government should actually do, the public appears more liberal than conservative. Ellis and Stimson gathered 7,000 survey questions dating back to 1956 that asked some variant of whether the government should do more, less, or the same in lots of different policy areas. On average, liberal responses were more common than conservative responses. This has been true in nearly every year since 1956, even as the relative liberalism of the public has trended up and down. For decades now there has been a consistent discrepancy between what Ellis and Stimson call symbolic ideology (how we label ourselves) and operational ideology (what we really think about the size of government).

Looked at this way, almost 30 percent of Americans are “consistent liberals” — people who call themselves liberals and have liberal politics. Only 15 percent are “consistent conservatives” — people who call themselves conservative and have conservative politics. Nearly 30 percent are people who identify as conservative but actually express liberal views. The United States appears to be a center-right nation in name only.

[artislife]

54. Gosh, we get to meet local people

This is probably a lot like it was in 2008. We would feed off each others's enthusiasm. We learned how to do so much. Some of us could only take people to the polls on election days, others helped people get registered.

I feel a movement gaining energy.

Off to get my stuff done, so I can meet some of my neighbors later! hee hee

[BainsBane]

60. I provided the link to the poll

You can read the raw numbers. PPP has been the most reliable pollster in the past.
It also makes sense in terms of the issues Sanders focuses on. The Tea Party began with anger toward Wall Street. It makes sense that some might be drawn to a candidate, particularly one who has avoided membership in the Democratic Party, who speaks to that frustration. Also the fact that Sanders supporters are overwhelmingly white increases the probability of conservative support. Whites tend to be more conservative overall, statistically speaking.

Activists are a self-selected sample, but even so polls of activists show support for Clinton. A recent posting on DU demonstrated that. I'll find the link and edit my post to include it, not for you but for those who don't claim scientific sampling is less valid than their own wishes.

Naturally you don't care about polls. The only view of society that matters is your own. It's all about you. Polls capture the views of a broad range of people, and those people cannot possibly matter in comparison to you and those who live and think exactly like you. That is the nature of entitlement.

[2banon]

39. Bummer! I couldn't RSVP (officially) becuase my event is already fully booked and it's just 2 blocks

from my house! I'm going anyway! so add ONE more to that total! Even if I have to hang outside!

SOOO HAPPY to know a local Bernie organizer is just two blocks away in my own neighborhood!

[RoccoR5955]

42. Multiple meetings in each of the 50 states

THIS is the way we organize and the way we eventually WIN!

[Cosmic Kitten]

44. UPDATE: 3,520 Organizing Meetings 100,886 RSVPs

3,520 Organizing Meetings 100,886 RSVPs

[font size="12" font color="green"]This is HUGH![/font]

[winter is coming]

45. C'mon, this is DU.

Everyone knows it's supposed to be "HUGH"!!

[Cosmic Kitten]

46. Mah bad

Will edit

[George II]

55. Hefner?

I wonder if we'll hear about actual bodies showing up - 100,000 RSVPs won't translate into 100,000 people being at the meetings.

[Luminous Animal]

57. At every Bernie organizing meet-up that I have been to, more people have shown up than RSVPd.

[Cosmic Kitten]

63. +1 True, this isn't some Hillary "intimate gathering"

These are excited, and motivated people.

Bernie may be a onec in a lifetime candidate.

It's go time, let's make this happen!

WE WILL WIN!

[George II]

69. You'd better let Bernie Sanders know. He was just on the Ed Show and HIS numbers......

....as of 5:12 PM Eastern time are 3,146 "meetings" and 82,853 "RSVPs". Oooops!

[Luminous Animal]

70. Perhaps Bernie hasn't had time to check his website.

http://map.berniesanders.com/

Give it a try.

[LWolf]

58. Tonight's the night.

Here in my area, the "overflow" meeting, scheduled because the first local meeting at a private home filled to capacity instantly, is now at capacity as well.

And another meeting is scheduled to the north to take THOSE overflows.

[Cosmic Kitten]

64. Woooo Hooooo !

[AtomicKitten]

59. That's a breathtakingly staggering amount.

[Cosmic Kitten]

65. It is! I would guess even Bernie is in awe of this response.

He asked for a Mass Movement...

We are going to deliver!

[AtomicKitten]

66. Shut the front door! I do believe it's a political revolution.

I am astounded (and happy beyond belief) at the power of social media.

I'm feeling the Bern.

[Cosmic Kitten]

67. W0ot W0ot!

Need a shower, food and hit the road!

Hope EVERYONE that can, gets out tonight.

Those that cannot, enjoy the Live Stream!

Go Bernie!

[Cosmic Kitten]

72. We met our RSVP numbers, and better yet...!

we started a network!.

Lots of skills, talents, and diverse people.

From local political leaders, professionals,
student and retirees, we have an amazing
pool of resources to build a monster!

The opportunities and potential of our group,
and many others, could break the mold
and unleash a whole new breed of citizens.

Bernie wants a revolution...
I just hope he and all of us are ready for
what's about to emerge!

OMG, it's gonna be a beautiful monster!
