A Bernie diary a day keeps the billionaires away.
Well... how about that?
Sen. Bernie Sanders is often characterized by the media as an out of the mainstream presidential candidate, but a new CBS/New York Times poll revealed that 80% of Republicans agree with Sanders on the issue of getting money out of politics.
The CBS/NYT poll found that:
– 80% of Republicans believe that money has too much influence in our politics.
– 54% believed that most of the time candidates directly help those who gave money to them.
– 81% of Republicans felt that the campaign finance system needed fundamental changes (45%) or a complete rebuild (36%).
– 64% are pessimistic that changes will be made to reform the campaign finance system.
– 71% want to limit the amount that individuals can give to campaigns.
– 73% felt that super PAC spending should be limited by law.
– 76% thought that superPACs should be required to disclose their donors.

FUND THE REVOLUTION. Send $10 to Bernie today!!!
And while you're add it... sign the petition to have more debates too:
Americans are tired of political gossip, personal attacks, and ugly 30-second ads. They want candidates to engage in serious discussions about the very serious issues facing our country today.
In my view, the candidates for president should engage in a series of debates beginning this summer. I asked the Democratic Party to work towards that goal this week, but they need to hear from activists like you if it's going to become a reality.
Please add your name to my letter calling on the Democratic Party to start presidential debates this summer.
Bernie has true appeal to ALL voters if people listen to him. I think his populist positions and the no nonsense gruff and to the point nature of how he talks will take him far in this election.
I was doubtful that it was possible... but I think if people hear Bernie talk and listen to his ideas. We win. (and he might just win too)
