Bernie Sanders to charter private jet to campaign in Iowa during impeachment

[Demsrule86]

95. I don't know about Warren. Finance is her strong suit...but I think she is Green...Sanders on the

other hand tried to dump radioactive waste in a poor area of Texas...arguing it was 'safe' because of the climate in Texas.

"In 1997 and 1998, Sanders did indeed support a measure that gave Congressional approval to an arrangement that would have allowed the states of Maine and Vermont to transport and dispose of nuclear waste at a proposed site in the sparsely populated town of Sierra Blanca in Hudspeth County, close to the Mexican border in West Texas.

As the meme suggests, Sierra Blanca was (and is) a predominantly Latino community. U.S. Census Bureau records show that in 2000, two years after the proposal, 73 percent of the town’s 533 residents identified as Hispanic or Latino, and almost all of those as Mexican. In 2016, some 69 percent of Sierra Blanca’s 557 residents identified as Hispanic or Latino."

"According to a September 1998 article in the Texas Observer, a group of activists opposed to the Sierra Blanca waste site approached Sanders at an anti-nuclear weapons rally in Vermont that year:

Sanders left the stage, which surprised no one in the small Texas delegation. Earlier, he had told them, “My position is unchanged, and you’re not gonna like it.” When they asked if they would visit the site in Sierra Blanca, he said, “Absolutely not. I’m gonna be running for re-election in the state of Vermont.”

Sorry again...the convenience thing...you don't get to dump your states nuclear waste on a poor Hispanic community without having your Perfect Green card revoked. Walk the Walk.
