Senator Sanders has all the qualities of a true leader! Bernie is fair, kind, honest, humble, energetic, authentic, intelligent, experienced, and passionate about helping our youth reach success, thus building a stronger and brighter USA for future generations. Bernie’s long record as a public servant can be viewed on you tube. His health care for all plan, according to physicians and top economists, will save the average family approx $5,000 a year. No more high deductibles and insurance premiums! Bernie will increase the min wage to $15 an hour which is long over due! When people are paid fair wages they contribute more to growing the economy then more small businesses spring up keeping prices competitive. Bernie Sanders has received the top congressional award from the Veterans of Foreign Wars in his fight for veterans! He receives no super pack money and will put an end to the legal bribes and scams that go on among billionaires and our public servants today. Our ancestors warned us these money games will destroy our government! Democratic (by the people) socialist (for the people) programs built this country including our roads, utilities, national parks (which saved the buffalo), our US post office, our US military, our public library, social security, etc. Bernie Sanders is Jewish (not a communist) and speaks from his heart. Get involved in this very important election to save the middle class or move toward the middle class. Bernie will save social security for seniors! If possible, go to berniesanders.com and make phone calls, pass out flyers, and contribute $5, $10, $20! Be sure to register and vote which is taking place in many states today! Your vote counts! Bernie currently has 76% of the vote in his home state from democrats, republicans, and Independents! This tells us much about his character! Vote smart! Vote Bernie!

You’re clearly very devoted. And you kept it all about Bernie which Makes you a credit to Sanders supporters–gotta respect that. But let me offer gentle and probably familiar pushback for which anyone can blast me til the Ioway cows come home.
I know, and you know, that Sen Sanders is not some hammer and sickle clutching terror attempting to usher in some workers paradise out of a little red book. But isn’t it possible that, under the weight of half a billion $ of the Repub/Koch attack machine’s ads, a large portion of the public including many independents could be convinced of just that? I know that Social Sec and Medicare are socialistic in nature. But if the Dems nominate Bernie, how much of the enthusiam–And its equivalent in $$ and time—will we have to spend explaining and re-explaining that? “Socialist” is not “communist” to me, and many voters can extricate the former label from authoritarian dictatorships associated with the latter. But how many can’t? How many times will nominee Sanders have to say the words “I’m not a communist” on television? Even once would be very, very bad. Will he, in the next sentence, say how we should be more like Denmark like he did in, I believe, the first debate? I’ve only been watching US politics for 20 odd years but It seems to me a campaign that constantly has to explain to the media what it ISN’T is going to look defensive, weak, and way, way too easy for pukes like Morning schmoe and other mainstream media figures to Dismiss, distract and defeat.
& yes of course I will vote for him if he is nominated! Keep IA blue!
