CNN: Sanders snags key endorsement in New Hampshire

[Ichingcarpenter]

Longtime New Hampshire Democratic activist Dudley Dudley told CNN Friday that she has decided to endorse Bernie Sanders for the Democratic 2016 nomination. Her decision comes less than two months after she hosted O'Malley at both her Durham, New Hampshire homes.

Dudley told CNN she was won over by Sanders focus on money in politics, but was particularly impressed by his style of delivering his message.

"He's very believable. A lot of people seem to say a lot of things that don't come to pass. I feel that he is compelling and trustworthy and I'm hoping that he will get the nomination," Dudley told CNN. "I particularly like what he has to say about Citizens United, about the need to have a more just tax system in this country, and to even out the income inequality. He has a way of stating it in a way that is no nonsense and so straight forward."

As a state executive councilor in the 1970s, Dudley was the highest serving woman in the state's history. She also gained a reputation as a grassroots activist when she led a successful effort to stop the building of an oil refinery off the coast of New Hampshire.

3. K & R. Terrific. I just posted an OP on this fine endorsement including some bio on Dudley and

the CNN piece's video segments on Sen. Sanders including a short interview of his *brother Larry Sanders in Oxford, England.

Here's to the 'Summer of Sanders' and Bernie 2016!

JEB= Just Elect Bernie!

Happy Independence Day!

20. A little biography goes a long way in this case

Here's some from wikipedia

Dudley Webster Dudley (born Dudley Webster; August 4, 1936) is a political activist in the American state of New Hampshire, known for her legislation that prevented shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis from building an oil refinery in Durham, New Hampshire in 1974. In 1976, Dudley became the first woman elected to the New Hampshire Executive Council, where she served four consecutive terms. In 1984, she won the Democratic primary to represent New Hampshire’s first Congressional District.

21. For sure, she's been involved in some great efforts over the years. Read what I could find about her

which wasn't a whole lot, but that's ok. Bernie makes me so encouraged and proud!

Feel the Bern!

JEB! = Just Elect Bernie!

Happy Independence Day too!

[rhett o rick]

15. How absurd, it's not Hillary. McCatskill maybe. nm

[daleanime]

10. Yes, some republicans will vote for him....

amazing isn't it?

[BrotherIvan]

11. Hi again

[smokey nj]

12. You are trolling a safe haven for supporters of Bernie Sanders.

If you post again in this group you will be blocked.

[marym625]

13. You are in the Bernie Sanders group

Self delete or we're going to have to block you.

[rhett o rick]

14. You name doesn't fit. The GOP knows how to fight HRC. They just have to show how many times

she has supported their point of view, like the AUMF. Sen Sanders is bringing integrity to the race and that will be very hard for the nitwit republicons to fight. The people want a president with integrity.

[Enthusiast]

16. That's a bad thing to say.

[mikehiggins]

23. Oh, you're so silly

Can you name one person in the Clown Car who is Bernie's equal?

[Thespian2]

17. YEP

Bernie is the only answer!!!

[Babel_17]

18. Dudley also sounds believable, in a no nonsense and straight forward way

22. Fucking-A Bernie!!!

[bucolic_frolic]

24. I've been puzzled on Sanders

I thought he was just about issues, left of center,
socialism, early 1900s roots of democracy

Then I said he'll frame the debate, drag Hillary left, and she will lose
as a result

Then I said Sanders is a balance to Trump and the Tea Party fringe

Now the realization is hitting home

Bernie Sanders is not in this to win, or to raise issues, or to influence
Hillary

Bernie Sander is in this because the unique left of center part of the
political spectrum has been drowned out by the MSM and the Right Wing,
from Goldwater to Nixon to Reagan to BushiesTwice and even to Obama and
thoroughly by the DLC

Bernie is giving voice to all that has been suppressed, and once this gains
altitude it WILL be heard

He is created a CLOUD into which Hillary will step gladly

There has been a power vacuum on the liberal left. The Left has been
denounced by the term "Liberal!" by GHWB and GWB and Wall Street

You cannot suppress the people forever

The ground is shifting. Republicans are too entrenched to even know what is
happening. They won't know until January 2017.

This is the 20 year revolution Jefferson spoke to eloquently, 4 times suppressed.

The time is NOW

Bernie has set it in motion. He has judgment, and an absolutely incredible sense
of timing throughout his career.

This is our moment. "Are you better off than you were four years ago?"

It's all about to reverse Big Time.

25. That is a huge victory for Bernie. O'Malley was trying to get that endorsement but I guess she

saw what more and more people are seeing, Bernie is the ONLY one whose words are backed up by his actions.

26. Good news. Thanks.
