As the largest African-American owned and operated independently affiliated podcast and commentary news resource in Michigan, we have decided to support without waiver U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders quest to be the Democratic Nominee for President of the United States in 2016.

Why Are We Endorsing Senator Bernie Sanders to gain the Democratic Nomination?

After viewing Sunday, March 6, 2016 Michigan Democratic Debate, there is no question that Senator Sanders policy positions as it relates to Free Trade, Fracking and uplifting of Communities of Color, are strongly supported by the Senator.

The debate likewise confirmed if elected, Senator Sanders will continue advocating for ideas, thoughts and legislative actions from the Executive Officer role, protecting People voting him into the role of President of the United States first, and not the interest of corporations.

I took the time to read the entire article. For anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to read it I recommend you do, this was not just a helter-skelter haphazard endorsement, there is an entire analysis of the debate, the answers given by both candidates and more.

Bless his heart. The way he moves around, you'd think he was 53, not 73.

The mainstream media is so bad.

We need to support independent media in every way we can.

"...The debate likewise confirmed if elected, Senator Sanders will continue advocating for ideas, thoughts and legislative actions from the Executive Officer role, protecting People voting him into the role of President of the United States first, and not the interest of corporations. ..."

President Obama has been "advocating for ideas, thoughts and legislative actions from the Executive Officer role..."
and it's done little to sway an obstructive GOP Congress. What is Bernie going to do, YELL AT THEM ?????? Wave his hand at them ????? Say I'm speaking??????

Mar 2016

Will they get POC in Mich. encouraged enough to get out to the polls? The case has to be made their best interest is at heart by supporting Bernie. And the fact he stood up for black folks during the 60's.

Remember: if they turn out, we win-especially those under 40.

I hope to gawd that is the case.

NO WAY. Kind of made my heart sink again. Wonder if he saw this or even kn own about it. GREAT NEWS! Keeping my fingers crossed, I'm so FED UP with MSM so many people talking about HOW HILLARY has the POC vote! For the life of me I DO NOT UNDERSTAND this. But, then OTOH I do given that they're only being FED what they want to FEED anyone.

I just wish people had more time in their lives to really take a close look at his issues as opposed to hers. I can understand people need to work and don't have time to be an activist, BUT THE LEADERS & The People Who Do Real Reporting have a DUTY to speak up and spread the word.

Thanks for making me feel better. Going to skip DU for tonight at least. The RAH, RAH Hillary stuff from MSM & TPTB that gets reported here makes my blood boil because so much isn't true, AND it's evident THEY don't want to give Bernie ANY coverage. He's really had the world on his shoulders and too many are simply UNABLE to see the Green Trees because of the Dark Gray Fog!

C'mon MI, help this guy out... America needs his honesty, integrity and especially his heart! We've sunk so far down into the muck and WE MUST DIG OUR WAY OUT!
