""Look it's not about me, it's about us, and when we stand together we can do anything,"" Bernie Sanders tells the volunteers at the Reno Rally in December 2015, pointing his finger directly at me, Kacey recalls, urging all of us to do more. ""At that moment, Kacey says, ""I feel the Bern."" Soon, he is co-leading 300 people from 30 states to go to Iowa for the first Democratic Party caucus to begin a journey traveling around the country and the world. My Journey with Bernie is an adventure and reads like a ""roller coaster ride"" with incredible highs, steep drops, and lows with inspirational, uplifting stories about the people who are bringing enthusiasm, hope, and leading a new political revolution."
