Everyone gripes about the weather and the corrupting influence of money in politics, but no one does anything about them. Well, Bernie Sanders’ run for president gives us an opportunity to do something about both problems. Despite decades of experience in Congress, he still turns down big money from special interests, including those that profit by keeping us from addressing global warming.
Bernie wins by running reasonably funded campaigns, powered by small donations and big citizen involvement. Visit www.berniesanders.com to see exactly what he believes and what he proposes. The other candidates will sell your government to the highest bidder to pay for misleading attack ads. Bernie will not. And as president, just as he has done in Congress for decades, he will be an outspoken, common-sense representative of the interests of ordinary citizens.
If you want a president that will represent your interests after 2016, you must represent your interests now by attending his rallies, buying a T-shirt, and talking to others. Bernie wins by body count not bank account. And your body counts just as much as any billionaire’s.
Bernie will be rallying in Seattle this Saturday, Aug. 8. Get information at Bernie’s website and show up to help drive the big money out of politics and maybe even to improve the weather.
