Friends of the Earth endorse Bernie Sanders: A Bold and Fearless Voice



Friends of the Earth strives for a more healthy and just world. We understand that the challenges facing our planet call for more than half measures, so we push for the reforms that are needed, not merely the ones that are politically easy. Sometimes, this involves speaking uncomfortable truths to power and demanding more than people think is possible. It's hard work. But the pressures facing our planet and its people are too important for us to compromise.

We are one of 75 national member groups of Friends of the Earth International, a global network representing more than two million activists in 73 different countries. In the United States, we advocate in the halls of Congress, in state capitals, and with community groups around the country. With offices in Washington, D.C., and Berkeley, CA, and members in all 50 states, we urge policymakers to defend the environment and work towards a healthy environment for all people.

Getting a Dem President elected means team work: Hillary
who is working closely with her colleagues will need
Obama, as Obama needed the Clinton's.

A Sanders supporter wouldn't know that, Sanders has
never worked hard Dem for party because he is socialist.

He has always been to good for the Dem's

when the Democratic Party left him, and the rest of the 99%. Clinton became a Democrat only because the Republicans went to the right of Barry Goldwater.
Obama SHALL NOT BE ON ANY BALLOT!
We need to move the Democratic Party to be more in line with WE THE PEOPLE, not them, the corporations. When Bernie gets the nomination, this can happen. If Clinton gets the nod, than it is more of this third way, triangulation crap. More lobbying with corporations, and listening to them before listening to the people.
Sorry, Bernie IS the heart and soul of the Democratic Party. Clinton is the corporate fringe of the party.

There's NOTHING I like to do more at the present time than spreading Bernie's message. Every little bit helps! Thanks for the post
