Bernie names Native American activist Deborah Parker & a Muslim to DNC platform Committee

Along with well know environmental activist Bill McKibben - BIG woot!!!!

Along with James Zogby. Think about this. Here we have a Jew and an Arab that agree on a 2 state solution. This is historic, imho.

And love him or hate him, Cornell, who will not be silenced.

That is a very diverse and interesting group - showing that Bernie is ready to practice what he preaches.

You see, he only picked 2 women. Hillary picked more. She wins. Not good enough, Bernie.
