Americans for Democratic Action Endorses Bernie

ADA is America’s most experienced independent liberal lobbying organization. In the spirit of the New Deal and ADA founders Eleanor Roosevelt, renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith, and former Senator and Vice President Hubert Humphrey we lobby through coalition partnerships, through direct advocacy, and through the media. Our lobbying philosophy is based on democratic action – motivating our grassroots members to lobby their senators and representatives as constituent-advocates. With 65,000 members nationwide, numerous state and local chapters, and its headquarters in the District of Columbia actively engaging in the political process, ADA continually strives to push for democratic and progressive values and ideals in American policy. Our founders included Eleanor Roosevelt, labor leader Walter Reuther, economist John Kenneth Galbraith, historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, and former Vice President Hubert Humphrey.

organization, founded by Eleanor Roosevelt, John Kenneth Galbraith, Walter Reuther, Arthur Schlesinger, and Reinhold Niebuhr on to discuss Sanders and FDR and the New Deal?

HAHAHA - Barney Frank who was a Chairman in 1984-1986 - must be livid at their endorsement. But I'm sure Paul Wellstone would have been proud.

with our differening opinions - but they are just that . . . opinions on who will win. Right now, all indications are that Sanders would do better in the GE than anyone else. Could that change? Absolutely. We're all just speculating on that result - especially this far out.
