First Member of Senate Endorses Bernie Sanders for POTUS! Thank you, Sen. Jeff Merkley #FeelTheBern

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/13/opinion/why-im-supporting-bernie-sanders.html

NO decision we make as Americans more dramatically affects the direction of our country than our choice for president. He or she is more than the manager of the executive branch, commander in chief or appointer of judges. The president reflects, but also helps define, our national values, priorities and direction.

After considering the biggest challenges facing our nation and the future I want for my children and our country, I have decided to become the first member of the Senate to support my colleague Bernie Sanders for president.

Thank you Senator Merkley!

His state is going to vote overwhelmingly for Bernie too, so he shows RESPECT for his constituents - UNLIKE ALL THE CORRUPT SENATORS WHO CURRENTLY SUPPORT CLINTON.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
