*Set the tape to beginning for Mike's Intro.

Symone Sanders, Press Secretary for Bernie Sanders presidential Campaign welcomes activist, rapper and business owner Killer Mike Render who delivers a powerful, motivating introduction for the Vermont Senator in the heart of the south, Atlanta, Georgia.

A proud Atlanta native, Mike speaks of the aspirations and achievements of another Atlanta son, Martin King. Mike emphasizes, "I have no time to relive the Reagan years, no desire to see us elect our own Margaret Thatcher". Killer Mike fired up the full audience with thousands of enthused supporters who packed the Fox Theater on Nov. 23, 2015.

"Healthcare is a right for every person and working people and poor people deserve a chance at economic freedom- and not to work 40 hours a week and live in poverty. In my heart of hearts I truly believe Senator Bernie Sanders is the right man to lead this country. I believe it because he, unlike any candidate I know wants to restore the Voting Rights Act, wants to end this illegal war on drugs that disproportionately targets minorities and the poor, and believes education should be free for every citizen in the country".

Mike urges people to "stay encouraged, stay invigorated and stay bold. Confront bullshit at every turn. Make sure wherever you go you take the name, the ideas, the beliefs and philosophy of Bernie Sanders. And make sure when you leave they are on fire because they have FELT THE BERN!

4. Bernie wants to fulfill Dr. King's dream.

We are witnessing history in the making.

Civil and economic rights.

5. A tour of him and Nina Turner would do wonders for Bernie with the AA community...and...

also win over a lot of whites too, methinks.

The depth of their passion and belief in Sanders and his goals is a much need antidote ot the politics of "We can't."

7. 12 weeks maternity leave. That sounds like something civilized.

I laugh at times as I listen to things I never thought I'd hear in an election.
