Bernie Sanders - A Thousand Cuts

[font color="#330000"]Uploaded on Jul 14, 2011
On June 18, 2011 artists Ligorano/Reese presented a temporary monument in the garden of Jim Kempner Fine Art in NYC called "Morning In America." The installation was witnessed by hundreds and lasted a total of 8 hours throughout the hot day.

...A THOUSAND CUTS is a timelapse video of the event. The soundtrack was inspired by an excerpt from Senator Bernie Sanders 8 hour filibuster on the U.S. Senate floor against the extension of the Bush tax cuts and the effects on the middle class. It is orchestrated to music by composer/violinist Michael Galasso.

Special Thanks

2. Has our country ever had a truth teller like this before?

That's what he is. He tells the truth, which our horribly corrupt "media" refuses to do.

Millions of people all over the country have finally heard and welcomed this voice of truth; he gave voice to what we all sensed, felt, knew. And he did it in a way that did not claim power unto himself, but rather, gave power to the people. He gave it to the people.

It is hard to believe there are those who mocked and disliked him. In my personal opinion, those who did, and do, possess a state of mind that closely resembles my concept of what hell would be like.

Thank you, Donkees, for so faithfully witnessing for Bernie Sanders.
