Don't Tell Me the 2016 Election is Over!

48 Years ago today, Robert F. Kennedy won the important California Primary and then was senselessly gunned down. I would like everyone to ask themselves, who would RFK be voting for on Tuesday? Would RFK have supported single payer health care? Would he have supported free college tuition in place of $ 38,000 on average of college loan debt to start out in life? How about a real $15.00 an hour minimum wage? Do you think he would be a proponent of NAFTA type trade deals?

Bernie Sanders ideas are NOT "Free Stuff" or "Pie in the Sky." They are what the Democratic party of my youth supported and fought for. I believe Donald Trump will not be elected president in November whether it's Clinton or Sanders. Therefore, I ask you to decided whether you want to continue a Neoliberal, Pro Corporate, unfair trade deal nation or someone who will fight for the middle class as it used to and change the course of this country. This is your last chance.

Many of you are saying it can't be done. I say if Ronald Reagan began to destroy the American middle class in the 1980's, Bernie Sanders can begin to restore it in the 21st Century. A Sanders victory on Tuesday in California could stop the Clinton nomination by giving many Democrats pause.

It's not over until the Democratic Party finds a viable nominee who isn't an unindicted co-conspirator.
