Bernie Sanders is champion for people

The strength of United States of America resides within the power of its people. And yet we have been a multitude of sleeping citizens sitting quietly idle as the moneyed few in our midst have gamed the theft of our democracy. The time has now come for our turn to play this game and we will win.

With this election we have the opportunity to select an experienced presidential candidate who has worked long and hard to protect the power of the people. A candidate who will transform our present national dialogue of fear, intimidation and warring aggression into a new dialogue focused on courage, respect and peaceful diplomacy.

A candidate who will work enthusiastically to safeguard our social programs, our institutions of government and our life supporting environments from destruction and privatization for profit by the moneyed few. A candidate dedicated to returning Wall Street and the money movers back to the control of our governing representatives. A candidate committed to campaign finance reform.

This candidate will champion our efforts to regain our power but truthfully admits that this work can only be accomplished with our support, our political action, our pressure on our congressional representatives and our votes. It is time to acknowledge our responsibilities, support this leader and become strong again, building a better future for our next generations.

Bernie Sanders is not beholden to any self-serving, wealthy super PAC. His candidacy depends upon the support of all the American people.
