[Faygo Kid]

11. Signed up to support him today

Got an email, and Hell yes, Bernie. Retired now, so can't contribute like I did to Obama in 2008 (and early on to John Edwards - oops), but Bernie speaks truth to power, and we've never needed a voice like his since FDR.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

31. We signed up as well

Like you we're retired, sent him ten bucks, the first political contribution we have sent since 2008.

18. Billionaires think that they can just buy America, that America is for sale

America is NOT for sale, America SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE PURCHASED!

This country is rightfully owned by the people, not by a class of people with a ton of money.

23. Enough said!!!!!

[turbinetree]

24. Like Thom Hartmann

said on his show today, this is going to be a indictment on the media, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, (forget Fix Noise) on how this is going to be perceived, because not one of the for mentioned broadcasters said anything about him running----not one, but they mentioned Rubio a right wing republican double talking hypocrite-----great news media.

You just can't make this stuff up.

This is going to be an indictment of the media giving him (Sanders) the message board to talk about these issues----instead of gossip news for ratings and greed or a gotcha moment.
Because Sanders is talking about the issues that are confronting this nation----Citizen United, wages, trade deals, health care, etcetera.

And because the same media every week has the same old tired republicans on every week on the Sunday shows, he (Hartmann) mentioned that the media was asked:
Why do you keep bringing republicans on the Sunday shows, answer--because they are in power.
Then the media was asked:
When they lost power (republicans) why do you keep bring them (republicans ) on your Sunday shows, because they are in the minority-----really, what a double standard.
Because of Ronald Reagan, because this media gave that hypocrite a message---government is the problem---no Ronnie you were the problem--- a big problem and we the people are still paying the price of your presidency forty years later.

This is why this country is failing and this is why we need Sanders in this campaign, and I will volunteer and do what I can.

Sanders is correct this country is being turned into an oligarchy, thanks to the Roberts right wing U.S. Supreme court and that is a absolute disgrace.


It is we the People not we the corporation



Go Senator Sanders---no--- its Mr. President Sanders

[SoapBox]

34. Yup

It will be very interesting to see how long the limp media tries to completely ignore him...the corporate heads are NOT going to want to widely cover his comments on the KKKoch Brothers and Murdoch types buying America.

GOTV...because we must hold the White House...or we really are doomed.

[hopemountain]

43. an awesome rant

for those headed to the trenches. thank you.

[rhett o rick]

44. Sen Sanders is putting his wellbeing and that of his family on the line for us, for American

99%. We have a responsibility to have his back. We must make sure that his messages get out.

[appalachiablue]

56. Great post. I saw Thom go into a lot of this about M$M, it's true. 20+ years of non stop

RW propaganda, corp. business news, infotainment, Hate Media and GOP TV. And look at the damage-

[Pooka Fey]

25. Bring it on, Bernie!

[libdem4life]

26. Did anyone feel "a thrill going up their leg?" Just kidding. Go Bernie...Yeah!! A Primary...Yeah!

[Dont call me Shirley]

28. We have your back, Bernie!

29. Great quote for a Bernie Sanders/ DU T-Shirt!

A bit of design tweaking etc. I'd buy one!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

30. All I could afford today was $50, but hopefully

I will be able to give 50 a week. I think BS is going to get flooded by TRUE patriots.

33. happy vietnam war protestors day!

As bernie well knows this is the 40th anniversary of the end of the vietnam war. and may 4th the 45 anniversary of kent state. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it!

[Ned_Devine]

35. Bernie speaks for me and my values

This time around it needs to be about real progressive values. Who can argue with those? They make sense for everyone except the banks.

[dotymed]

49. I have never been

this excited about a presidential race. Well, I worked my butt off for the message that President Obama spoke but Bernie follows through. He absolutely believes in the values and the pro "average person" messages that he speaks.
I have been following his career for 20+ years. I have watched him (on tee vee) teaching history and civics to inner city H.S.
students. I have seen him repeatedly oppose TPTB and follow through with his rhetoric.
IMO, Bernie IS our FDR (while FDR made some bad mistakes ie....Japanese internment... he was a man for the people) I know that if elected as POTUS, Bernie can change America for the better.
I know, "a President can only do so much" but Bernie knows how to use the "bully pulpit" and get Americans to support and demand the implementation of his populist vision for America...
Again, IMO his ideals given national coverage (I hope) will wake many Americans from their passive acceptance of the current status quo and turn the spotlight on the reality of our current system-vs-our possibilities as a nation who does not fear its government but can and should scare the greedy PTB and the corrupt system it has built.
I am optimistic and completely confident in the direction that Bernie's candidacy (and please, his victory) will lead America.
Yes, I AM a cheerleader for Bernie. He can restore the Democratic party to it's pro-people platform without the bullshit.

Anyone who thinks he can't win can stuff it.

42. Love this man. If I were a woman, I'd have his baby!

Go Bernie, Go!

45. Bump...nt

[dreamnightwind]

46. Signs of the coming apocalypse

Bernie got a haircut and combed his hair, clearly he has sold out. Who paid for the haircut? He's now in the pocket of big hair. seriously, I have never seen him so well groomed, he cleans up well.

So glad he is running, someone to work for instead of just people to work against.

[Major Hogwash]

47. How old is Bernie?

[dotymed]

50. Bernie is 73.

He is literally putting his life on the line for America.
With his age comes great wisdom and experience. I think that TPTB will attempt to assassinate him if he is successful in this Presidential run. He is a national treasure and I pray that he is protected as such.
He is not feeble, addled, etc. A woman became a medical doctor at an older age.
I believe that his running mate will share his vision for America and be very competent. I hope that he/she will be as courageous as Bernie.

[Enthusiast]

48. K&R! This post has almost hundreds of recommendations!

[d_legendary1]

51. I'm going balls out for Bernie!

And I know the media is going to margianlize him like they did Howard Dean. Fuck that! I'm a blue dot in a red ocean and I don't care how many arguments I get into I'm fighting tooth and nail for this guy!
