Is there a good video that introduces people to Bernie Sanders?

I thought last week's attacks on Sanders were the perfect time to introduce him to more people. One thing that keeps coming up is ' the more people know about Sanders the more they like him.' And that fits with polling data that shows people shifting from Clinton to Sanders as they find out more, and low information voters polling higher for Clinton.

Is there a good overview video I can share with people who are new to Sanders?

political layman.

Here's a detailed, concise video from Reich that's ideal for the more "realist" person that may be wary of a strong progressive:



Also, he has other videos that aren't about Bernie specifically, but they lay out progressive solutions to many of the economic problems that the Sanders campaign focuses on:

$15 minimum wage:

Campaign finance:

Economic inequality:

Austerity:

Wall Street:


That's just a handful, he has more.

And for those who have more viewing time, his documentary "Inequality For All" is a good one for those who may not know tons about economics. "Inside Job" (not Reich, but just as informative) is also a great flick to get your mad as hell.

Hope it helps, I'm glad so many folks are getting excited about these issues and are spreading the word. Pretty historic election season.
