Bernie Sanders is an American Hero

I doubt that Bernie has wanted to be president before this election year, but he saw what was coming and felt like he had to do something.

Bernie knew that America and the Democratic Party are basically heading off a cliff, and he has been trying to do as much as he can to save us. He can only do so much, but at least he is trying his best.

That it's possible to find a politician who cares for the common people and can't be corrupted by big money interests.

Unfortunately, I don't think America is smart enough to elect him.

Fighting past the entire Democratic, Republican, media and corporate establishment is a monumental and exhausting task.

We owe him our support....down to our last breath. He is a 74 year old man taking this on, for god's sake.
