struggle,day after day..He felt great empathy and sympathy for them,and others like them.

That is something that does not leave you,ever.

I feel hurt by the shit that people have flung at him.Awful people,that would not know true

goodness and kindness,if it bit them. I am happy and honored that I got to vote for

such a person as this. 100% for the people. Even the poor!:

GO BERNIE!!
