Bernie's filibuster;

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bernie+sanders+filibuster+

8 1/2 hours standing.

No bathroom breaks.

No breaks for meals.

8 1/2 hours of taking on the establishment.

8 1/2 hours of fighting for the needs and wants of 'We The People'.

8 1/2 hours of passion and truth telling.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen is wrong to insinuate that Bernie lacks

strength or staying power.

He is a fighter.

It is the essence of his being.
