6. Yes, I'm in....."We're" Worth

Sun May 17, 2015, 01:20 PM

May 2015

that fight-therefore "Populist Trail-blazer Bernie" is Worth supporting.

I had ignored all week, listening to Bill de Blasio's new “Progressive Agenda to Combat Income Inequality.”...I watched it this morning. First off I am delighted to see Sen Merkley sign on. He, for awhile was making me nervous over the TPP amongst other things.

But there is a different tone, a more "Sanders style" of reality in their words this time.
I'm glad I watched it and if you haven't, please, if you are so inclined...go watch it.

Maybe there's something different happening after all this time.
