Wait for it... He does not have that all important (D) by his name. To them, I say, Bernie Sanders is a better Democrat than most Democrats! The letter is less important than what the person stands for. We need more Berni Sanders, not more DLC and other DINO's.

For Majority Leader..........he gets it, he understands, and he isn't tied down by political obligations to either party. He can call it like it is, like the people see it, and like most politicians are scared to do. He is the next great voice in the American political scheme.

F'n hard to get some traction on these issues? Are the educated people in this country who work in politics, finance and the media SO TOTALLY co-opted by the super rich?

Let's see...Citizens United has to be stopped, and of course a majority of Dems in the House is necessary in 2014...then we have a chance to turnaround this Titanic of an economy/government to better meet the needs of the 99%. If any of you have better ideas of a turnaround, please share. The time is getting late...we gotta move this ship in a whole new direction.
