not "march" anywhere? They took buses and trains.

Thousands traveled by road, rail, and air to Washington D.C. on Wednesday, August 28. Marchers from Boston traveled overnight and arrived in Washington at 7am after an eight-hour trip, but others took much longer bus rides from places like Milwaukee, Little Rock, and St. Louis. Organizers persuaded New York's MTA to run extra subway trains after midnight on August 28, and the New York City bus terminal was busy throughout the night with peak crowds.[53] A total of 450 buses left New York City from Harlem. Maryland police reported that "by 8:00 a.m., 100 buses an hour were streaming through the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel."[54]

The "event" in Washington, DC, on the mall, organized by MLK and a number of leading lights in our civil rights struggle, was called The March on Washington For Jobs and Freedom.

You still wanna die on that hill? Bernie organized a "march" from Chicago?

The overwhelming majority of those attendees "marched" from their buses to the lawn on the mall. If you want to say he organized that "march," you knock yourself out!

smh!

No those hawkish republican leanings come from her support for the Iraq war and voting along side liberalnarb Dec 2015 #40

Like Bernie's support for the Iraq war, EVERY. Single. YEAR. after he pompously voted "No." MADem Dec 2015 #43

Bernie did not support the Iraq war. Thats bullshit. liberalnarb Dec 2015 #45

Oh, yes he did. If he didn't support that war, he wouldn't have voted to FUND it every year. MADem Dec 2015 #47

So Bernie voted to fund the Iraq war. liberalnarb Dec 2015 #53

Go to Thomas.gov and check for yourself. You'll see--he voted to fund that war every year. nt MADem Dec 2015 #55
