Bernie was speaking truth again yesterday and listening in Anamosa, Iowa, when he said that the media doesn’t really show the reality of what is happening in America.
“They’d rather have us fighting against each other, and black and brown and white and gay and straight, you’re born in Mexico, you’re born in America, let’s all fight it out,” he shouted. “Let’s have war with Mexico! Let’s ban all Muslims, let’s talk about that. Let’s not talk about how we all come together to create an economy that works for all rather than the top one percent.”
In an interesting twist to a typical campaign stop, Bernie mainly served as an emcee, letting Nina Turner speak, and hearing from two former prisoners, telling their stories about criminal justice in America.
“What this campaign is about is not sound bites. It is attempting to address some of the most important issues facing our country. It is an attempt to force discussion on issues that are often swept under the rug,” Sanders said.
Sanders reiterated positions he has taken on criminal justice reform, including removing marijuana from the federal list of dangerous drugs. When a Cedar Rapids man referred to “gutless politicians” who refuse to admit the war on drugs has failed, Sanders responded: “I don’t consider myself a gutless politician.”
Bernie listens to Americans with REAL issues and problems, and tries to fix them. He is not beholden to big business, big banks, big media, big drug companies, big oil, or the 1% in general. This certainly makes it an uphill battle to try to wrestle away this power, as it has gone way too far. But it is a battle that Bernie WILL continue to wage, and it is the most important battle all of us should be waging to gain back control of this country.
VOTE BERNIE!
FEEL THE BERN!
