San Luis Obispo Tribune should endorse Bernie Sanders
There is one huge thing that has gone wrong in America: big corporate money buying and then manipulating our elected leaders. Not democracy! We have a monumental opportunity now to carefully transform America with a new president. An opportunity so transforming, it would set America on a long-overdue new path leading us to a government by the people and for the people. That opportunity would be to vote for Bernie Sanders.
He has not sold out. He is not beholden to anyone except us. His ideas are transformative and workable. We can trust him; he has been fighting this fight for years. He would be a responsible leader, and that is important.
America is the custodian for an enormous amount of power. We the people need to decide how that power should be wielded.
To the Editorial Board of The Tribune newspaper: Please take this rare opportunity to be able to endorse Bernie Sanders with his plan for all to thrive. He won’t let us down. How wonderful it would be to have The Tribune be the first in our great state to endorse a man of such integrity, another monumental opportunity not to be missed.
