It was important I be @Netroots_Nation & to be a part of the #blacklivesmatter conversation. I’m not done listening: http://omly.us/1gKG1lE


"It was important that I be at Netroots Nation this weekend, and I am grateful I was a part of the important conversation about ‪#?blacklivesmatter‬—a conversation that must not end with this conference. I am already listening to and speaking with leaders from this movement, and I will continue to do so throughout my candidacy to ensure those voices and needs help shape my criminal justice reform package to make it as comprehensive and effective as possible. -O'M"

Actually, just as a Democrat, I'm proud of him.

I've been rooting for Sanders all along, but I won't be at all reluctant to throw in with O'Malley if Bernie can't make it.
