Bernie Sanders in Rochester, MN

Coming to Rochester with Bernie is Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan. They will both be speaking at the rally which is on Saturday, May 2nd at John Marshall High School.

Doors for the event will open at 3:30 PM and the speaking program will begin at 5 PM. The event is free but they do request that you RSVP. I'm sure that's to make sure if you need a chair, they can provide enough for the those who need it.

Bernie Sanders Fighting Oligarchy Tour

Bernie's 'Fighting Oligarchy: Where Do We Go From Here' tour has taken him all across the US. As KTTC writes, the tour is "in support of standing up to billionaires, corporate-backed super PACs, and President Donald Trump."

KAAL writes that the tour mostly focuses on the corporate-backed super PACs (Political Action Committees), "which raise and spend money on certain political candidates in elections".
