[Omaha Steve]

Sen. Bernie Sanders recorded the following video address for the Iowa AFL-CIO's annual meeting. He talked about the need to address the crisis of income and wealth inequality, create millions of new jobs through the rebuilding of our crumbling infrastructure, raise the minimum wage, overturn the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision and end our disastrous trade policies. He also called for a political revolution that will get millions of people involved in the political process.

Sen. Sanders will be in Iowa on September 12 and 13 for a series of town hall meetings.

4. We need pressure to stop Democratic Party pivot to the right, if Sanders is principaled enough

to do the right thing regardless of Wall Street CEO focus group pressure, then need to support him. Sad state of affairs when the best Democrat in Washington isn't even a Democrat.

[SidDithers]

13. That's a very pragmatic dem thing to say...nt

20. If he runs in the Democratic primary,

he becomes a Democrat. If he wins, he has to run for President as a Democrat. That's the way political parties work.

5. Great Post, Omaha Steve

IF ONLY......I would vote for him in a heartbeat!

[jwirr]

7. Looks like he is really going to run. Good. He has my vote in the primary.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

17. Mine too. And in the unlikely event he is on the big ballot, then too.

And I say unlikely with a heavy heart. Most Americans are too blind to see the greatness in what he has to offer.

[jwirr]

19. Yes, unfortunately most Americans do not even know the name of their own Senator let alone

someone like Bernie. And the real problem is they do not want to know.

8. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[NobodyHere]

9. So is he going to run as a Democrat?

Can he run as a Democrat?

[KamaAina]

22. Apparently.

Iowa would have no meaning for him if he was going third-party.

[Vincardog]

26. Why not ? HRC is.

[sabrina 1]

32. He's the best Democrat in DC right now, what needs to change, a letter after someone's name? Why?

If there is another Dem we could support who is so right on all the Democrat issues as he is, point that person out and I will gladly support him/her. But if there isn't, then Bernie, just as he is, is good enough for me, and a whole lot of others that I know.

[MissDeeds]

10. Yes!!!

Run Bernie, run! We need a real Democrat in the race, even if he has an "I" after his name.

[Cha]

12. America needs Senator Sanders' voice.. Hillary needs to hear his Voice.

[neverforget]

14. His voice needs to be heard! Go Bernie go!

15. Here is something to put him in an Iowa mood:

"All I Owe Ioway" from State Fair:

[demigoddess]

16. Unfortunately, our primary system

will prevent anyone that liberal (intelligent) from actually winning a primary challenge. By the time 2 or 3 states have voted they have essentially decided who can win the nomination and upteen states don't even get to vote on the whole slate. Someone like Howard Dean or Bernie Sanders will be forced out long before my state even gets around to a primary. I think we need a national primary day in all states. Then see who wins. Of course, now everyone will disagree with me.

[former9thward]

25. Everyone in Iowa and New Hampshire will disagree with you.

I think pretty much everyone else would agree with you.

[Enthusiast]

18. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch! Yay, Bernie!
