Middle Class Action Project endorses Bernie Sanders

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- a pro-union group on Staten Island has just given Sen. Bernie Sanders, the independent from Vermont, a self-described Democratic socialist, his first public endorsement from a group here.
...
"It has been the longstanding policy of The Middle Class Action Project to endorse legislation and not legislators," according to a statement from the group. "We believe that people should support policy and not policy makers. There are so many issues that affect the working class that it is very difficult to find a candidate that is focused on addressing the majority of them, let alone even half of them. We are making an exception in the upcoming Democratic primary."
...
"Rarely do you find a candidate so in tune with the needs of the working people," the group states. "Even within our own group we rarely find so many on the same page with a single candidate. It is for these reasons that we endorse Bernie Sanders for president."

endorsements from countless groups like this "Middle Class Action Project". It's groups like these that represent the People and have influence on them that can catapult Bernie into the nomination and the WH.
