Related: About this forumMichael Moore Endorses Bernie Sanders
EDIT:
"I first endorsed Bernie Sanders for public office in 1990 when he, as mayor of Burlington, VT, asked me to come up there and hold a rally for him in his run to become Vermonts congressman. I guess not many were willing to go stump for an avowed democratic socialist at the time. Probably someone is his hippie-filled campaign office said, Ill bet Michael Moore will do it! They were right. I trucked up into the middle of nowhere and did my best to explain why we needed Bernie Sanders in the U.S. Congress. He won, Ive been a supporter of his ever since, and hes never given me reason to not continue that support. I honestly thought Id never see the day come where I would write to you and get to say these words: Please vote for Senator Bernie Sanders to be our next President of the United States of America.
I wouldnt ask this of you if I didnt think we really, truly needed him. And we do. More than we probably know."

(41,600 posts)Michael Moore is a TREASURE. He pretty much, single-handedly, exposed the Bush regime and all their filthy lies about WMD and the illegal invasion of Iraq that YOUR candidate voted for. He opened the eyes of millions of people to what Bush/Cheney did and flipped the Iraq war dialog on its head.
PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
