Happy Labor Day-Reminder: Bernie Birthday Bomb TOMORROW, September 8

I SHALL remind you again tomorrow, including Omaha Steve's link in the reminder post.

Meanwhile, enjoy your Labor Day, knowing that no candidate has as good a pro-labor history as Bernie Sanders. He is pro-union, pro-labor, pro-working families, pro-99%, even on the campaign trail:

Bernie with strikers in October, 2014

The Democratic presidential candidate joined workers from a Penford Products corn processing plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa who were picketing as their union representatives negotiated a contract with management, according to the Des Moines Register.

"putting action behind the pro-working class "talking points" he delivers on the campaign trail." His support of the working class is talking points - really?

Workers told the Washington Post Sanders’ presence was proof he doesn’t just talk the talk on labor issues. - Ignore the fact that the man has been showing his support for labor unions for YEARS.

Though on second hand - I don't think its so subtle.
