and found this one, and then read the comments. I like what that mother said to you. And the thing is, we often give up thinking our single voice won't mean anything. But if everyone who FEELS that way but does something anyhow, we WOULD win.

Bernie is lighting that spark under people who pretty much had given up. I'm not sure what it is about him, other than you KNOW he's not just talking, he has always been fighting to what is right for the people, but unfortunately his colleagues in Congress haven't helped a whole lot.

Now he has the microphone himself and it looks like people were just waiting for him to come along. I'm so glad he did!
