Bernie Sanders speaks in Missoula and Billings on Wednesday
Bernie Sanders has scheduled two campaign stops in Montana on Wednesday, 11 May. The first begins at 1100 in Caras Park in Missoula. The second, in Billings, starts at 1700 in the Montana Pavillion at the METRA.
They want you to RSVP. Admission is free, and you can just show up, but Bernie's campaign encourages RSVPing. Go to http://map.berniesanders.com/, then click on the marker for Missoula or Billings to bring up event details and the RSVP link.
Security will be tight. Here’s the advisory from Paul Van Tricht in Billings:
For security reasons, please do not bring bags and limit what you bring to small, personal items like keys and cell phones. Weapons, sharp objects, chairs, and signs or banners on sticks will not be allowed through security.
It’s probably best to leave your selfie-stick at home, too.
And remember, all security agents, from the Secret Service to the lowliest village constable, are suspicious, humorless, and hoping to make names for themselves by apprehending a would be assassin. If you RSVP, I suspect your name will be run through a database of people thought to be dangerous.
If you’d like to show your support for Bernie, attending one of these rallies would be a good way to do it.
