It's the Integrity Stupid

I support Bernie Sanders because I know he’ll tell the truth. No word games or sleazy politics. I know where he stands because it’s where he’s always stood. I know he won’t sell us out. I know he can’t be bought.

People of all political stripes are starving for a public servant with this kind of integrity. We are tired of being lied to and patronized. People who have never voted before will be motivated and energized to participate in our democracy for the first time. Things can change. This can be done.
