An Open Letter to California Democrats and Independents
POSTED BY JERRY BROWN ON MAY 31, 2016
On Tuesday, June 7, I have decided to cast my vote for Hillary Clinton because I believe this is the only path forward to win the presidency and stop the dangerous candidacy of Donald Trump.
I have closely watched the primaries and am deeply impressed with how well Bernie Sanders has done. He has driven home the message that the top one percent has unfairly captured way too much of Americas wealth, leaving the majority of people far behind. In 1992, I attempted a similar campaign.
For her part, Hillary Clinton has convincingly made the case that she knows how to get things done and has the tenacity and skill to advance the Democratic agenda. Voters have responded by giving her approximately 3 million more votes and hundreds more delegates than Sanders. If Clinton were to win only 10 percent of the remaining delegates wildly improbable she would still exceed the number needed for the nomination. In other words, Clintons lead is insurmountable and Democrats have shown by millions of votes that they want her as their nominee.

(3,111 posts)that is some Democratic agenda that looks more like the Republican agenda in the 90's.
Not interested in that time warp.
Let's get behind a Progressive that has proven to be so for a long, long time. This is a year tailor made for a Progressive message, and Hillary just isn't going to be able to support it with all her ties to Big Money and the Establishment.
