Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumIf you have any money left after donating to Bernie, you might want to consider:
"Today, we begin a political revolution."
With these words, Senator Bernie Sanders, the longest serving independent in congressional history, launched his run for the U.S. Presidency in 2016. Most pundits predicted his campaign would be a progressive candle in the party establishment wind. How wrong they were!
By focusing on the economic struggles of main street America, Sanders is drawing huge crowds, raising competitive amounts of funding despite swearing off Super PACs, and voicing concerns held by a discontented majority.

Something important is going on all across America. There is a powerful sleeping giant that is now stirring, an emerging political movement deeply concerned with the widening collapse of the middle class and the growing concentration of wealth and power in the hands of billionaires and industry giants.
"There is a sleeping giant of political anger and love that is in some ways waking up right now."

Looks like an interesting film, but the team needs funding.

Welcome. It is better to have questions than to be someone who thinks they have all the answers.
