Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumI thought I'd drop in and share my first blog post:
And I mean this out of love and commitment to a strong and relevant Democratic Party that can be a force for good.

And I think how many of the problems we face today had their birth in the Clinton administration, especially the corporate media stranglehold on the American perspective, what information we are allowed to have, what interpretations we are allowed to entertain. There's a reason the First Amendment is first. A healthy democracy depends upon independent journalism. And which Republican's legacy has been worse than the one Obama will leave if he signs the TPP, and multinational corporations can sue American taxpayers in international tribunals officiated by corporate lawyers for projected lost profits as a result of environmental and labor protections or buy-local policies?
I hope to see you again.

I just want to do what I can to be part of it.
I know I haven't been here for a while, but I haven't checked out. I even donated my house as a temporary Sanders Campaign office before our primary and trained volunteers to canvass. That was awesome.

The Democratic Party ignores us at their own peril! They've been warned, so they best heed those warnings or they're headed for a landslide loss in November and the collapse of their Party in 4 years.
Thanks for posting this! That was a great read!
PEACE
LOVE
