Support and Thoughts from New Zealand. reddit group see link below

I am a 22 Year Old University Student from Wellington, New Zealand.

I Love Bernie. I speak on behalf of my generation when I say he is our last hope. We need to combat climate change with an international initiative. Bernie can and will do this.

Futhermore, I see your country suffering under repression from the 1%. Let it be known BERNIE"S POLICIES WORK.

We are one of the countries that has many of the things that Bernie talks about: Universal Free Healthcare. Public Funded Elections. A Decent (Rougly 11-12 USD/Hour) Minimum Wage. Well Regulated Banks. Paid Sick/Holiday/Maternity/Family Leave. Etc. And my taxes are abut the same as yours.

I will tell you right now, these things are worth fighting for. And nobody in New Zealand would give them up.

If you achieve your goal, and Bernie wins the election, people nationwide will see an immediate increase in the bottom line, and your country will never go back.

Please, for the sake of our generation, don't lose sight of the objective. You are fighting the most powerful people and institutions in the world. They will easily, EASILY exploit your mistakes.

Don't degrade yourselves to abuse, or anger, or hatred. Please spread Bernie's ideas out there with respect and integrity. Bernie is setting an example on this. He has fought the 1% for longer than I, and most of you have been alive. He has always been courteous and respectful. LET THE POLICIES AND IDEAS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

Thank you for all the work you are doing. Always remember that there are millions of people around the world relying on you all. You are doing an incredible job but don't forget: The journey will be tough, long, and difficult. And it has only just begun. Keep up the good work.

Thank you. From New Zealand.
