Visited my farm today to highlight a program that he has helped to fund. At risk youth who find conventional school difficult can participate in the Twilight Program in our local high school. Several kids in this program have been coming to our farm over the past few years to do a variety of projects, from weeding to harvesting. In exchange, we donate some of the food they harvest to local food shelves. In thew fall, they will help harvest a few thousand pounds of extra food for them. Bernie is an american treasure, and we are very proud of his work for Vermont

and in Vermont, there is no reason that every person could not have his ear one time or another. Our state government is truly a citizen government, where the governor and on down are very available. Just met tonight with my state rep to discuss local issues.

for the local paper asked him where was Obama's passion? We all know that Bernie has passion and compassion to share, but Obama seems to have settled on cruise control. Frankly, Bernie is too old to run for the big office. He is healthy, but I would prefer to keep him for ourselves. This country is not ready for his mojo.

So glad to hear good works reported instead of always the negative.
Continued prosperity to your farm and your good works.

7. Bernie Sanders thank you for caring about other people... I'm so fed up with this swarm of locusts |
|
in Washington eating everything in site, and not replenishing anything and leaving so many to suffer from their reckless behavior.....
