Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal Endorses Bernie Sanders, Asks for Help
Source: Daily Kos
My Fellow Progressives:
This week, the Missouri Democratic Senate caucus filibustered for 39-hours against SJR 39, a measure making it legal for institutions to discriminate against gays and lesbians.
I stood on the floor through the night and into the long morning for LGBT residents in my district because to do less would be unacceptable. Now more than ever, Democrats must hold true to our most basic principles, to stand for our friends and neighbors. Ferguson taught me I will not ever be silent when our rules and laws are not respected.

Now is the time for Democrats to roar into DC. We need an American truth teller, and it is why I am proud today to endorse Senator Bernie Sanders for the US Presidency.
Our Democracy needs new perspectives, new viewpoints and a bold, aggressive Democratic outlook for the future. I believe Senator Sanders sees that future and will work hard to deliver it for all Americans, no matter where they live.
To give him the congress he needs, we need more Democrats who are willing to rock the boat. We need Democrats who don’t see being a politician as just another job.
