I Love You, Bernie Sanders!

I love you for pulling the dialogue to the left. I love you for making the primary exciting, the way it is supposed to be. I love you for never going negative. I can't wait for the debates. America will be forced to consider some important truths---like how little Congress and their Post Citizen United Selected representatives represent them. Due to the tremendous amount of interest which a presidential election generates and the boosted voter turnout (which favors the people and the Democrats) this is the closest we ever get to a real election in this country. So, let's make good use of the Democrtatic Primary!

I love paved roads, public schools, municipal parks, and hundreds of other things we just take for granted. I like elderly people getting Social Security, disabled people getting at least a little to live on, children not having to starve, and hundreds of other programs we take for granted. Now I want those programs expanded so no one has to be food insecure, no child has to sleep in a car, and I don't get my heart broken when a lady in a wheel chair is homeless and has MS and has to hold up a sign just to get by.

I just donated on the $50 monthly program so he has more donors under $100.

If you recognize the problem, you have the power to stop it. There is always room for self betterment.

Remember this reality check from the Primaries in 2008?

"Obama Triumphs in Iowa Contest as Clinton Falters..."
