Bernie Sanders is for a brighter future
As the banks and billionaires place their bets and race to buy the next president, only one candidate is giving us a rare chance to stand up for democracy.
The corporate media will stop this if it can by ignoring events all around the country, like an event held in San Luis Obispo.
Of the 100 or so people who marched for the Bernie Sanders Revolution, many were in their 20s. Faced with sickening debt and poor prospects for finding meaningful work at living wages, this generation is demanding a future to believe in.
But they were joined in late February by many elders like myself who are sick of an America bent on perpetual war, bled by grotesque economic inequality and governed by “We the (corporate) People.”
You can vote for Goldman Sachs, Haliburton, Exxon and the Kochs. Or you can join this unprecedented Sanders Revolution. You can also spread the word about the great “Democracy Awakening” in Washington, D.C., April 16 to 18.
