Bernie’s Army Is Running for Congress

"Sanders Democrats like Nevada's Lucy Flores aim to amplify the Vermont senator's uncompromising message in Washington—and move the party in a populist direction. "

We need more of this!
Time we started getting down to business with the house and senate along with the presidency ! we have a tendency to focus on the highest office and neglect the importance of others!
Be sure to throw your support (and money hopefully! lol) to your local democratic representatives !

Thank you for running for Congress as a Sanders Democrat! Thank you for helping to start the avalanche that is going to descend upon Washington DC to return this country to its people!

Please post here about your campaign and tell us--people all over the country--how we can help you and your supporters.

You are awesome!

Including one who ran against Cuomo before Bernie was a candidate for President.

Doubtless Bernie should get the credit for that since he is the Superman who is gonna save us all.

Obviously you don't have anything real to say.

I suspect you are just projecting your feelings toward Hillary onto Bernie.

Buchholz serves on the board of the Chippewa valley Chapter of American Civil Liberties Union. He says he answering the "call" from presidential candidate Bernie Sanders who has urged "average Americans to step up and take our government back from the billionaire class."

...and will move the Democratic caucus to the left (a good thing), but it doesn't do anything to help take control of the House. If we don't have a "Sander's" candidate running against every republican incumbent, we don't have a revolution.
