45th anniversary of the US sanctioned murder of four students at Kent State University

On the weekend of May 4, 1970, students across the country were protesting the US involvement in the Vietnam War and our "secret" expansion into Cambodia and Laos.

At Kent State, the National Guard was called in. While tension mounted on May 3rd, the students remained resolute in their purpose.

After 45 years, the families of the victims and the 9 victims who survived (the families of those who have since died) are still waiting for justice.

The "kill order" has been discovered on a tape. The tape has been verified as authentic by independent sources as well as the FBI. However, the DoD and the DoJ refuse to reopen the case. The UN has even called on the US to reopen the investigation, without a response.
Order to shoot: http://www.may4.org/ohionationalguardordertofire.html

Let's tweet/Facebook certain target M$M show/host

We could take Chris Hayes, All In this coming week. Then Maddow, etc. Maybe even regular talk shows like Ellen.

He needs exposure. He needs no other help after that

Any thoughts?

WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Is it me, or has DU suddenly become fairly united?

Maybe I am just not seeing it. Or maybe, just maybe, the idea of a candidate with an impeccable record, strong on everything Democrats hold dear, a candidate with unfettered enthusiasm, has made people think, "we don't have to give up anything for something else."

We can make it happen, yeah! We can make it happen!

I always thought that everything was fine
Don't you feel repression just closing in around?
No, the campus here is very, very free
Don't it make you angry the way war is dragging on?
Well, I hope the president knows what he's into, I don't know

Don't you ever see the starvation in the city where you live
All the needless hunger all the needless pain?
I haven't been there lately, the country is so fine
But my neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause they haven't got the time

Thank you for the talk, you know you really eased my mind
I was troubled by the shapes of things to come
Well, if you had my outlook your feelings would be numb
You'd always think that everything was fine

We can make it happen
We can change the world now
We can save the children
We can make it better
We can make it happen
We can save the children
We can make it happen

The rhetoric around "only Hillary can win!" is bad enough.

But people actually pissed about Bernie Sanders in the primary just takes the cake.

Unbelievable!

The good thing is, just two days from the official announcement, this must mean that the Hillary camp is afraid of Bernie. And why would that be?

Because Bernie Sanders will be our next President!

He'll win the primary then he will take the White House
