Bernie Has Been Talking Up Education From Day One...

he includes free tuition in his plan and is doing something in Congress as we speak to make things happen.

What is galling me is that he is not getting much airtime or kudos for that - and Hillary today comes out with an education plan that in my opinion is just appealing to focus group polling and the cable news stations are touting it and hailing her plan like she has just invented the wheel.

The focus groups tell her people that Bernie's message on education is resonating with the voting public - so Hillary has to follow and make news here. That's what it looks like to me that is going on here.

I guess in some respect - I'm happy that Bernie drove her to do this now - but I'm pissed that Bernie isn't getting any accolades for his plan.

Into working harder for Bernie. Tell everyone you meet about him.

I am so passionate about his campaign, I love talking about him. People respond to his message. He is the leader we need right now. He tells the truth and that is more powerful than anything they throw at us.

Latinos for Bernie!!!
