"...if a bank is too big to fail, it's too big to exist!...I am bringing forth
legislation, actually this week, which will break up these large financial
institutions and that will be a good thing for our economy. I would
appreciate Secretary Clinton's view on that issue....
....the USA's Patriot's Act is coming up for reauthorization. I have voted
against it in the past and voted against the reauthorization. Obviously,
we have to be strong in protecting our people from terrorism, but I don't
think we have to undermine the Constitution and deny our people basic
constitutional rights. That's an important position....
....In terms of Iraq, I was one of the leaders against going into Iraq, the
Secretary supported that war. So, I think there are some strong differences
of opinion...."

Bernie Sanders is a shoo in and I predict that with him will be a new America. An America where my 8 year old grand daughter will have a future not just an existence. Where all of our lives will improve by leaps and bounds. This man is the Real Deal and with a New Deal. HONESTY, INTEGRITY and love for our fellow man like none of us have seen yet.
GO FORTH BERNIE SANDERS and kick some rich asshole asses.

We can win this one and when I say we I mean all of us with Bernie as our leader. I like, no I love, my President Obama and understand fully what he was/is up against but he did what needed done and thats bust the glass ceiling that says anyone other than a rich white man can make the ascension to the oval office. The old mold has been broken and President Obama, along with many of our help did it. Now for a follow up we're going to have a honest to goodness good man at the helm. I can't wait to get started knocking on doors.
