Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumSouth Carolina, baby!
We are thrilled to have such broad enthusiasm among local women for Sen. Sanders, State Director Christopher Covert said Wednesday. Sanders has fought for womens rights and economic fairness throughout his life and the support in South Carolina reflects the national movement of American women joining our campaign.
Christale Spain, the South Carolina Director of Political Outreach, said that as a black woman and a single mother, it was crucial to support a candidate who has demonstrated a commitment to advocating for me and the issues that impact my community. Sen. Sanders has been a champion of civil rights and economic equality for women for thirty years, and I am proud to endorse him.
Dr. Gloria Tinubu, the first African-American woman in the state to win the Democratic nomination for Congress, believes that Sanders is in the tradition of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who lead our parents and grandparents through one of the most challenging times in our nations history. Like President Roosevelt, Bernie is fighting to protect our democratic way of life and our four freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
A new Clemson University Palmetto Poll shows that nearly one in two South Carolina Democratic primary voters remain undecided about whom to support in the February primary.

What a DAMN shame that so few of "our" elected Congresscritters had the guts to state this truth and endorse Sanders.
Best of luck to Dr. Tinubu. We need Democrats like her in Congress so very badly.
