CHEYENNE — In Wyoming the “Berners” are small in number but big on passion.

They are the supporters of Bernie Sanders, a U.S, senator from Vermont and a Democratic candidate for president.

A couple dozen of the Berners faithful met recently at the library in Cheyenne to organize a campaign and to plan for the Democratic county caucuses in Wyoming April 9.

Sanders, the most liberal of all the candidates for president, has about 300 known supporters in Wyoming.

Their goal is to get as many Berners as possible to the Democratic caucuses.

Currently they have no state organization. They find each other on Facebook.

One goal is to get people registered at Bernie Sanders.com so they can get campaign information.

During the Saturday meeting on the top floor of the library, the volunteers discussed the need for someone to come to a meeting and explain how the caucus system works in Wyoming. One recommendation was that they register early in the morning on caucus day.

Sanders, according to his campaign material, has made a lifetime commitment to common Americans, the 99 percent.
