"We cannot go further unless we have courage to look truth in the eye" - Bernie Sanders

Sen. Sanders speaks in Bennington, endorses Democratic slate of candidates
Pre-election rally by Rights and Democracy draws over 700 to MAU Middle School

By Edward Damon




"Something is profoundly wrong when... people in Bennington, Burlington and all over the country aren't working one job to make things meeting, they're working two or three," Sanders said.

Millions face issues like lack of access to healthcare, education, and quality childcare, he said.

Sanders, who served as an independent before seeking the Democratic nomination for president, described that party's slate of candidates running for the Nov. 8 election as "thoughtful people trying to do the best." He said those candidates, with the help of voters, will shape the country in a critical time.

"We cannot go further unless we have courage to look truth in the eye," he said.

It was one of three pre-election rallies organized by Rights and Democracy for Democrats seeking statewide offices and local House seats in the Nov. 8 election. A rally in Vergennes was held that morning and in Rutland that night.
