Georgetown Univ. To Host Bernie Sanders Talk On Democratic Socialism in America, Th. Nov. 19, 2 PM

Last edited Wed Nov 18, 2015, 05:45 PM - Edit history (1)

Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has chosen Georgetown University in Washington, DC as the venue to talk about what it means to be a democratic socialist in America.

The talk, which takes place on Thursday, Nov. 19 at 2 PM ET in the university's historic Gaston Hall, is sponsored by the university's newly created Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service at the McCourt School of Public Policy. Following his remarks, Sanders will engage in a Question-and-Answer session with the university community.

"This speech is one of those defining moments in a presidential campaign," said Mo Elleithee, the institute's director and a 20-year veteran of national politics. "For weeks Senator Sanders and his team have been signalling that he intends to have a thoughtful discussion about what it means to be a democratic socialist. We are psyched he chose Georgetown as the place to have that conversation." 'GUPolitics to Host Bernie Sanders For A Talk on Democratic Socialism in America'.

Bernie has many intrepid supporters we know and what he's doing for this country is the work of 100 leaders, maybe more! (Discounting Rep. 'courage' Grayson and a few others, hah! ).

any of the CORRUPT CORPORATE OWNED MSM will cover it?

Should we place bets on not one will bother? Though, if it was the Wall St. Candidate or Sarah Palin, they'd be knocking themselves out to get it on their network first.

PEACE
LOVE BERNIE
