Yesterday, the nation's largest nurses' union, National Nurses United, endorsed Canova at a 1 p.m. news conference as well.
"Our goal is to get people into elected office that will stand up to people and not corporations," union President Deborah Burger told New Times via phone. "So far, what weve seen is that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has utilized the DNC to promote a certain candidate [Hillary Clinton]. That candidate has taken billions, billions in corporate donations."
Her union, she said, is backing both Canova and Sanders due to their support for single-payer health care and environmental protection laws. Nurses, she said, are often forced to deal with patients harmed by government policies.
Interesting story about Canova. I knew he was an attorney but that was all I knew.
The main stream politicians etc. have written him off just like they did Sanders!

As for the analysts who say he can't topple the entrenched Wasserman Schultz, he says, "A lot of the academy are very establishment-oriented. They can't envision an insurgency when it's happening.
"Leading up to the financial crisis, people thought it was impossible to have a financial collapse. If all you do is look in the rearview mirror, you're going to miss an awful lot of what's coming down the pike."
