If a brave man like Bernie can spend his whole life fighting for the common man and STILL have the

strength, PASSION, concern and love for his fellow man -- enough to continue the fight -- to stand up to the EVIL EMPIRE of the RICH & POWERFUL -- well, god damn it all, the least I can do is support him and give him my vote.

How many of you could do what he is doing at age 74? hell --- at age 64? Think about it -- at age 74 -- he is still putting his ass on the line FOR ALL OF US -- FOR MANKIND!!! That's gotta mean something.

Just looking at his typically huge rally demographics will show that!

Huge K&R, BigBearJohn!

And I'll be damned if I reject him! He's fighting for US and the country our forefathers wanted us to have. Which ISN'T an Oligarchy run by Corrupt Corporations, Wall St. and the Mega filthy rich 1%.

99% > 1% AND WE THE PEOPLE WILL WIN. Thanks to Bernie.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

Bernie is the kind of man I always wished to lead America...
a real life "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" kind of guy.
Bernie is the real deal. True blue. Replete with GRAVITAS & DIGNITY.
He is FOR the people. There is NO question about it. The real McCoy.
Something RARELY (if at all) found in today's government.
I am literally PROUD (bursting at the buttons proud) to vote for him.

Thanks for your comments. Loved 'em.

I don't doubt his commitment to fixing real problems, and hope he will be our nominee.

yeah, national leadership. In the beginning, he was striving, pushing...but now, I see in his face a different kind of look...resolve, security and the epitome of a leader...confidence.

And his ads are fantastic, to boot.
