So stop the LIES.
SAN BERNARDINO >> Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders brought his campaign of unity and diversity to a crowd of more than 5,200 supporters Tuesday at the National Orange Show Events Center.
Sanders took on Wall Street and corporations like Walmart, saying the middle class should not have to subsidize the wealthiest family in America, the Waltons, through the low wages paid to workers.
In a high-energy atmosphere, Sanders tackled topics such as poverty, living in a rigged economy and Social Security. He explained that America is not supposed to be a country where the top 1 percent own almost as much as the bottom 99 percent.

May 24, 2016 -- Santa Monica, or at least the area around its high school near Downtown, was Bernie Sanders country Monday.
Those who waited in a crowd so big it caused blocks-long waiting lines outside the Santa Monica High School athletic field, reiterated the Vermont senator's vow to continue fighting.
Were not going to give up, said Lisa Smithline, a documentary filmmaker who trekked from Calabasas for a Sanders campaign rally at Santa Monica High School. Im really a Bernie-or-Bust person.
So, it seemed, was almost everyone else there.
