It's been a long and very exhausting first day (with record high temps) so the writing will come later. For now, enjoy some photos of some of the excitement we witnessed on the streets and in FDR Park today.
We witnessed the Clean Energy March and some of the rally in the park. Alas, Bernie wasn't there. Word on the street says that we could see him Monday, so we're holding onto that hope.
DemocRATS are making this "rat" angry. He says "Write-in Bernie." |

Here's an update from Ohio Delegate Dennis Slotnick:
My friends and political activists.
A Berner who brought his llama to talk about the treatment of farm animals. Yes, that's an actual llama in the middle of downtown Philadelphia... Berners go the extra mile to get their message out! Feelin' the Bern indeed!
Receiving this message from me means you made it to the select list
of those who will be getting regular feedback from the delegation. As
unfiltered the mainstream media. As a Bernie delegate I will do my
best to convey what I see and hear during the DNC convention. As a
scientist I will do my best to be objective ( but that is virtually
impossible in the political realm).
If at any time you would like to not get these or comment on these, let me know by reply.
Here we go! already we have
challenges going in: VP pick is not sitting well with many Bernie
people. superdelegates may not be eligible to vote, TPP is hottest
issue, may get minority mic time.
Attorney general just got notice that
Clinton campaign interviened in the election process, biases in DNC in
Hillary leaks are breaking news.
Realize anything can happen here. Especially with information technology like never before.
Feelin' the Bern
Dennis Slotnick, CD #5 delegate, Ohio
It was quite an experience. The sheer energy and enthusiasm for Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein amazed me. We'll take it the next step. The GOP may have its racist, misogynistic fascist candidate, the Cl!nton party its criminal corporate tool, but we have Bernie and Jill, and we're going to shred the old way of doing things. #StillSanders
