the reason Bernie doesn't have a lot of Congressional endorsements is that our corrupt legislators understand that one of his first priorities will be to stop the gravy train of being a Congressional rep to highly paid lobbyist, don't you? They all love this "career path," if you want to call it that. Bernie will put an end to this and they know it.

Your post above is a tribute to Bernie and his integrity. Thank you so much for the opportunity to point this out.
