Statement on the Election in Greece
Sunday, January 25, 2015

BURLINGTON, Vt., Jan. 25 – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) issued the following statement today after Greece rejected austerity economics and gave a decisive victory to the Syriza party of Alexis Tsipras, the next prime minister:

“The Syriza victory in the Greek elections tell us that people around the world will no longer accept austerity for working families while the rich continue to get much richer. The top 1 percent of the world’s population will soon own more wealth than the bottom 99 percent. This is wrong and unsustainable from a moral, economic and political perspective.”

1. I remember a

third-party candidate who once wrote that voting isn't a horse race, that you should vote for who you genuinely want in office. I'm starting to agree with him on that, I'm going to vote for Bernie if he makes it to the primaries here, or even to the big ticket itself.

3. I also intend to vote for Sanders as long as he is on the ballot. nt

2. Senator Sanders has the integrity to tell us what's going on, the truth. Admirable to say the

least. He would be a great president and leader working for the people and the health of the country, not himself or special interests. Thank God we have him.
