BERNIE SANDERS ROLLS OUT FIRST ROUND OF IOWA ENDORSEMENTS

On June 6, 2019 By prynard

Excerpt:

Senator Bernie Sanders is unveiling his first slate of key endorsements from Iowa progressive leaders today. Among them are some local elected officials and party leaders who were first mobilized to activism from Sanders’ previous presidential run, including LULAC State Director Nick Salazar, Dubuque City Councilwoman Kate Larson, and IDP Central Committee Member Emma Schmit.

“This incredible group of endorsers are some of the most well-known progressive voices that Iowa has to offer,” Misty Rebik, Sanders’ state director, said in a statement. “Together with our 25,000-strong volunteer base in the state, these progressive Iowans will help us build on our grassroots movement and win on caucus night.”

The other early backers on Sanders’ list are Lone Tree Mayor Jonathan Green, former State Senator Beverly Hannon, Waterloo City Councilman Patrick Morrissey, Polk County Democrats Membership Committee Chair Chris Morse, Poweshiek County Supervisor Jason Roudabush, and Fairfield School Board Member Kelly Scott.

Sanders has also steadily increased his Iowa campaign operation, reuniting top staffers from his previous bid, while also hiring from the ranks of other recent progressive Iowa campaigns.

“One of the many reasons I support Bernie Sanders is that he is and has been steadfast on the issues he champions,” said Hannon, who once chaired the Iowa Senate’s Human Resources committee. “I am impressed that he declines big contributions from industry or special interest groups, which many presidential candidates accept, and instead depends primarily on ordinary people to contribute. Bernie is not afraid to stand in a protest line for better wages for workers.”

1972 ARTICLE SURFACES SHOWING BERNIE SANDERS BACKED ABORTION RIGHTS YEAR BEFORE ROE V WADE

BY BENJAMIN FEARNOW ON 6/5/19 AT 4:45 PM EDT

Excerpt:

Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders backed abortion rights and ridiculed male-dominated legislatures governing women's bodies in a 1972 article surfaced Wednesday. The commentary reveals another stark, decades-long contrast between he and former Vice President Joe Biden's progressive stances.

Sanders told Vermont's Bennington Banner newspaper in September 1972 -- months before the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Roe v. Wade -- that abortion procedures should only be a concern between a woman and her physician. The article sits aside several letters the then-Liberty Union candidate for governor wrote to local newspapers calling for the abolition of "all laws dealing with abortion, drugs, sexual behavior."

The Bennington Banner confirmed to Newsweek Wednesday that Sanders was interviewed for the published 1972 article in which he feared women "will be forced to go to those states where abortions are legal."

"It strikes me as incredible that politicians think that they have the right to tell a woman what she can or cannot do with her body," Sanders told the Bennington Banner on September 1, 1972. "This is especially true in Vermont where we have a legislature which is almost completely dominated by men."
