Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Tuesday received the endorsement of MoveOn.org, a grassroots organization that has been at the forefront of liberal causes.

MoveOn says the Vermont senator was supported by 78.6 percent of its membership in an online vote of more than 340,000 members. Hillary Clinton received 14.6 percent and Martin O'Malley received 0.9 percent with the remaining members urging no endorsement.

"MoveOn members are feeling the Bern," said Ilya Sheyman, executive director of MoveOn.org Political Action. "We will mobilize aggressively to add our collective people power to the growing movement behind the Sanders campaign, starting with a focus on voter turnout in Iowa and New Hampshire

The endorsement was widely expected. MoveOn encouraged Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren to run for president but when she declined last year many of its supporters got behind Sanders' campaign.

7. I am a Sanders supporter.

(BTW, I was banned from the DU Sanders group for supporting the DU TOS. Never is heard a discouraging word there, or you will be banned. Silly, silly people there.)

I really like Martin O'Malley as well. Unfortunately he is not getting the exposure he deserves. Too bad. He is smart and deserves a chance at this. I like Hillary, too, but she is gulping up all the oxygen in this race.

My top choice is Bernie, who I will be voting for in the MI primary. My second choice is O'Malley. Go figure.

In November I will enthusiastically vote for the Democratic nominee, whoever it is. All three of our candidates are... Well let's just say that the two parties are worlds apart.

Keep working for your candidate. We've got this as long as we hang together.
