I am writing this as a strong supporter of Bernie Sanders. I am not going to attack Hillary. She has her strengths, weaknesses and positions on the issues. They are what they are. I am not addressing this to Hillary supporters. I know I won’t change your mind and you won’t change mine. I am addressing this to those of you who are undecided. I am hoping you will see the passion that is Bernie’s and that his solutions cannot wait. I believe that the United States and the world are at a tipping point in many ways and the this is not the time for the status quo.
I believe that any day that goes without moving towards finding a solution to climate change is one day too long. Every day that finds people without access to health care is one day too long. Every day that school children have to go to schools without the needed resources, is one day too long. Every day that Wall Street, the big banks and corporations are not challenged, is one day too long. Every day that there are homeless Vets and non Vets is one day too long. Every day that income inequality is not addressed is one day too long. These are just a few of the many issues that need to be addressed with all due haste and not at the pace of the status quo.
They must be addressed by someone who will not back down, no matter how difficult it becomes. They must be addressed by someone who is not afraid to turn our current priorities on their head. Who will take on the Military Industrial Complex. Who will negotiate from the goal they want to achieve, and not start negotiating at the 50 yard line. It won’t be easy, it may not be successful, but it needs to be done by someone who owes nothing to anyone, other than the American people. It must be done by someone with passion and tenacity; and it must be done as soon as they occupy the White House. I believe the only person who can achieve this is Bernie Sanders. Thanks.
