Becoming Bernie

Please disregard if it has already been posted

'Bernie Sanders is an improbable politician. Independent, occasionally irascible, he came from the far left and an urban background to win elections in one of the most rural states in the country.
Now Sanders’ rhetoric is on the national stage with his surging run for president. He’s made headlines for his staying power in polls and his policy platforms singularly focused on income inequality and curbing corporate power.
His run for the White House has been described as quixotic, and pundits have called his goals unachievable. But Sanders and his policies have struck a nerve in American politics. The candidate who’s been dismissed and underestimated every time he reaches for new political heights has become the leading challenger to Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.'

And even Bernie agrees!

He's just one person...but he is the start...after he's elected, we ALL need to continue the Political Revolution and take back the Congress and all levels of America.

Let's do this thing!!!!
