Sarah Parrish Bernie Delegate

Thank you very much, my name is Sarah Parrish I'm from Merriam, in Johnson County Kansas. I have been inspired by Bernie Sanders for many years.  Since the first time I saw him on The Daily Show years ago,and I asked myself who is this wonderful human being?  I was inspired then, to go back and see that then, and now, Bernie has been fighting for people like you and me since before I was born. 

I have been inspired by my fellow Kansans,  Missourians, and the other wonderful humans that have crossed my path in cultivating a way towards a better future for us all. 

I am an At Large Delegate for Kansas and the Bernie Sanders Presidential Campaign, going to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

I will be driving from Kansas to Philadelphia with other Bernie Sanders Kansas Delegation, as well as staying in a Hostel and Delagate housing to keep cost low.

I have been volunteering for the Bernie Sanders Presidential Campaign since May 2015. I am a grassroots co-organizer in the Kansas City Region for Bernie. Creating Phone Banks early on in the campaign and canvassing trips to Des Moines.

For the first time, I have been participating in local Deomcratic meetings and in the process. I have also filed to run for Precinct Committee Woman, and help local Kansas candidates. I have also helped to encourage others to come into the folds of the Democratic process, in volunteering,  participating, and stepping up to run for local offices. 

I helped to coordinate the one of the thousands Nationwide Bernie Campaign Kick Off Event,hosted a Bernie Birthday Bash, co-organized a huge Debate Watch Party for the first Democratic Debate, as well as other local events to get the word out about Bernie.

I volunteered and worked closely with the Des Moines Campaign office to phonebank and organizing volunteers all over Kansas, to phonebank and canvass into Des Moines from August up until the Iowa Caucus in February.

I have coordinated with campaign staff for Bernstorm events in Johnson County. I have hosted Debate Watch Parties, Phonebanks, volunteered at the Organizing Kick Off event for the Kansas Sanders Campaign as well as assisting in bringing the office to Northeastern Kansas.

I was the Authorized Campaign Representative for Bernie in Kansas in preparation for the Kansas Caucus. I volunteered for Kansas Democratic Party the day of the Kansas Caucus. I was a part of the organization and coordination of the Congressional District Delegate meetings in Kansas. I was then selected at the State Convention to be an At Large Delegate.

I want Bernie Sanders to be the Democratic Nominee for President. I will not conceed my support, my enthusiasm, my vote to any other candidate. I strongly believe Bernie is our nation's best hope for all, and is the strongest candidate in defeating the Republican Nominee Donald "Drumpf."

I will continue to fight for the political revolution I so strongly believe in and have worked for. Helping the seeds of the grassroots movement that is taking place in this country, gaining momentum all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. I will work tirelessly to ensure that the Democratic Party platform is the most progressive in party history.  

I am grateful and honored to have this opportunity to represent Bernie for Kansas in Philadelphia. Any little bit can help, and is greatly appreciated. Your donation will be put towards gas and tolls, and accommodations in getting to and from the Convention, as well as food, groceries,  Hostle accomodations, public transportation and offset any additional costs. Thank you for consideration.

In Solidarity,
Sarah
