Bernie Sanders marched in the south during the civil rights movement.
I also heard the speech, and MOSTLY HEARD IT, and then read it. His concerns for economics and the wealth of the 1 percent is not leaving African Americans behind
Anecdotal, but one of the earliest volunteers for his campaign locally is a recent immigrant who;s main language is Spanish. She is looking forwards to cast those votes. She is also looking forwards to getting voters to do the same.
And since I am not partisan on this. after the scam attempt, long story... I need to write the story on Santorum launching today, just as we ran a story on Bernie launching, and Rubio and Hillary.
There is a level of clarity that is reached when one leaves politics behind. It is quite cleansing for the soul actually.
