Sanders to Sierra Blanca: "Drop Dead!"

[lunamagica]

27. Big time deflection. The OP is about SBS, who is currently running for POTUS

on a platform of being a civil rights champion, a fighter for the downtrodden. It is about him *HIM* co-sponsoring and actively promoting a bill for dumping NUCLEAR waste in a very poor town, because they were powerless to fight back.

If it weren't for Paul Wellstone, those poor people would be living and having to deal with the Waste Sanders didn't want on his backyard. That is what Sanders campaigned for.

So, other 23 voted for it...seriously? 23 voted in favor of this flawed, immoral bill, so that makes it OK?

How many of those 23 are running for POTUS?

"Three West Texan protestors went to Vermont to plead with then Representative Sanders that the dump site shouldn't be located in this poor minority community, Mr. Sanders told the three activists, "My position is unchanged and you’re not going to like it.” When asked if he would at least visit the proposed site in Sierra Blanca, he said: “Absolutely not. I'm gonna to be running for re-election in the state of Vermont."

“He didn't listen,” Curry said. “He had his mind made up." '

Are you really OK with this?

And please, if you want to discuss the NY sewage, start your own thread. this thread is about SBS and his advocacy to dump his state's nuclear waste on the poor, and powerless residents of Sierra Blanca.
