The truest most honest representative of our time. Simply tireless in his dedication for the real working people. There are democrats who believe speech is money as well. Elliot Spitzer is one. But when 40% of the nation's wealth is in 1% of the country and the 99% are hurting it's ludicrous to believe there's a level playing field when it comes to campaign donations. Of course that's the point isn't it.

Bernie Sanders is a true American Hero, and I believe his legacy will bear that out. There aren't many politicians whose motives I believe are pure, but Bernie is definitely one of them. (Can't think of another right now, but I'll work on it.)

I like Thom Hartmann's name for him: America's Senator.

Senator Sanders seems to be the only politician to say so in congressional chambers (along with the Progressive Caucus).

Please help the people of the United States. Sen. Bernie Sanders has initiated an effort to reverse the Citizen’s United ruling that is wrecking havoc with our election system. Please start an effort in Delaware. This is such an obvious plague on the rights of American citizens. It is being spoken about at all levels of our society and on the news as being one of the worst decisions of our Supreme Court. Please act now and try to bring some sort of normalcy to the 2012 elections. Sincerely,

I sent this to AG Biden and Senators Coons and Carper

Why is this covered on national news and it took this long to get something started. This is a national embarrassment!

God Bless Bernie Sanders!!
