1. 'The cut off is 50 and below'. The Sanders message and platform reaching more and more

blacks, PoC and many others in South Carolina and all over through social media, student groups, millennials and outreach to colleges and ground work by Bernie workers. Bamberg, Nina Turner and others disagree about the mainly media spin concept of a 'firewall' pertaining to black voters that denotes monolith behavior.
SC State Rep. and attny. Justin Bamberg (D) endorsed Bernie on Jan. 25, and dropped Clinton. Since then he's given media interviews about his decision. Feel the Bern!





Honesty, boldness and trustworthy are some of the reasons Bamberg decided to change his support to Sanders recently. The Vermont candidate's position on single-payer health care is a critical issue in Bamberg's area and another main reason for switching his endorsement to Sanders from Clinton in Dec.
The S. C. state representative and attorney was a prominent figure in the effort to take the Confederate flag down from the South Carolina Statehouse.
Justin T. Bamberg was also the lawyer for the family of Walter Scott, the police-shooting victim. Mr. Scott, age 50 and unarmed, was shot and killed in April 2015 while running away from North Charleston police officer Michael Slager. Slager was subsequently arrested, indicted, denied bail for months and then released earlier this month once a new trial date was set. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/justin-bamberg-bernie-sanders_us_56a6447be4b076aadcc7366b
