Bernie Sanders is a real fighter for Americans. He is on fire for us. How can we thank him?
I'm watching and thinking - when was the last time we saw this passion for average working people?

1. I would like to do something to thank him. Yesterday I called his office (and got
through!) and said "I have a question - Does Senator Sanders know how beloved he is by millions of Americans?" Other sweet stuff, too, and asked that our appreciation and gratitude be passed on.

But I'd like to do something else.

2. Call your senators and tell them to follow Sanders lead?
This is what he has been asking us to do.

4. You're right. He is unfortunately destined to fail. . .but he still deserve our respect
and our thanks for trying!
Especially when he fails after all that truly hard work!

I'd love to know how to thank him!

7. I'm sorry! You are absolutely correct! He will have done the best he could
to stop the bill, and in will have succeeded in many ways, even when this bill eventually goes through!

He is a great man and totally worthy of ALL our respect!

8. If the MSM has the guts to broadcast just a piece of his stand, we may see some change
in how people view the republicans.
