Dear citizens of the great State of New York:
I am a voter from Washington State. For years I have watched as our democracy slid away, as our government became up for bid to the highest bidders. I have also watched as Senator Sanders railed against this usurpation of our democracy. When he was asked on Thom Hartmann's Brunch With Bernie hour if he would run for President my heart leapt with hope. Bernie responded that his office was investigating if there was enough voter dissastisfaction out there to make such a run viable. Bernie warned us back then that it would take a revolution in order to make the changes that we so long yearned for. He warned us that we would have to put partisanship aside because our problems crossed those boundries. Then last year he told us that his research indicated that the citizenry were ready for the revolution, Bernie Sanders announced his run for the Presidency...and we went to work.
This past year the voters have learned who Bernie Sanders is. He fills arenas and stadiums across our nation exactly as Barrack Obama once did, he gives us an even clearer message of hope. For example, as a veteran, I am well aware how the GI Bill changed my life by offering me a chance for a better education, how it changed the lives of millions of vets and the tremendous boon these better educated vets were to our nation. Bernie wants to do this for our kids right now! Friends have asked me where the money for such an ambitious program would come from and I ask them to tell me where America's financial wealth is currently sitting-that's where it and most of Bernie's game changing plans will be financed from. Sanders wants to make Social Security stronger, not harder to gain access to, he wants to break up those 'too big to fail' banks, he wants to put a stop to our government being for sale to the highest bidder, he wants sooo much that our country needs but....
Bernie can not do this alone.
Those who oppose these changes ignored Senator Sanders' run at first. Then they told us that Bernie could not even get close to winning the nomination. Bernie IS getting close to winning the nomination but now they scare us with polls stating that New York may fall to Hillary Clinton, their pundits say it would be 'all over' for Sanders should this happen. Well we who share and support Bernie's dream of a better America have fought hard to get him here....the fate of our efforts is now in your hands. A Sanders nomination truly IS within reach. My questions to you, citizens of the Great State of New York, do you share our dream, will you join us in the revolution and vote for Bernie Sanders?
