I support Bernie because his priorities are my priorities and he's clear, committed and effective.

Nobody walks away from hearing Bernie speak wondering what he meant. He says what he means, and isn't afraid to take the necessary steps to save our democracy.

Right left and center bemoan the state of American politics, that money buys candidates, that they don't work for us anymore but for the highest bidder. We've all been aware of this cancer at the center of our civil lives and he is standing up and saying it's got to stop, that he will take on the money changers.

We can dance around the big issues and arm wrestle over nuance but the big point of Bernie's candidacy is bringing democracy back to the people. Nothing else really holds a candle.

Go Bernie! Imua kakou! (onward, together!)

He speaks for the people that paid him. So does Hillary and every other politician.

A vote for Bernie is a vote for an America of the people, by the people, for the people.
