Email from Bernie: I will be damned if we let the Republican Party win the working class

[Playinghardball]

We had some amazing election results last night. We won the Oregon primary and came to yet another virtual tie, this time in Kentucky. That's 21 victories for us so far, plus three more virtual ties where the margin was less than one percent of the vote.

Now some people say that we have a steep hill to climb, and that is absolutely true. But together we have been climbing that steep hill from day one of our campaign. And let me be clear as I can be: we are in until the last ballot is cast.

This is the beginning of the final push to win California. But we are going to fight for every last vote, because every delegate we win is a statement of public support for the values we share.
You've already made a contribution to our campaign. Adding another contribution today will help us win California and ensure we have the resources to continue our fight all the way to the Democratic Convention.

I come from the working class of this country, and I will be damned if we allow the Republican Party, who represent the rich and powerful, to win the votes of working class Americans.

It is my belief that the candidate best prepared to stop Donald Trump from winning the White House is the candidate who supports a $15 federal minimum wage, who stands on picket lines with striking workers, and who will fight to take our democracy back from the billionaire class.

Make a contribution today to help us win California and take our campaign all the way to the Democratic Convention.

In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders

2. Probably just Hills bullshit propaganda. nt

3. It's the kind of thing Republicans say all the time, and lately

Republican talking points and Hillbully talking points are indistinguishable from one another--all that talk of commies and free stuff and damn lazy kids who won't get off my grass, and so on.

8. huh?

After finishing college in 1964 with a degree in political science, Sanders lived on a kibbutz in Israel before settling in Vermont. He worked a number of jobs, including filmmaker and freelance writer, psychiatric aide, and teaching low-income children through Head Start, while his interest in politics grew.

7. That was a great speech. Son of an immigrant to US President.

Even getting close is a tremendous statement for the working class...he walks the line, the picket line. He has my admiration and support.

(I think his parents came from Europe)

9. A great, rousing speech; saw it live. No Dem. pres. candidate

has talked this forcefully and sincerely about the concerns of the working class for decades that I remember. Bernie's father came from Poland at age 17, alone and with no money. In the 1920s I believe, maybe later. I think his mother's family was from New York.

10. Amazing. He is a working man's candidate.

I feel so privileged to be just a part of this time.
