A Sincere Invitation to Hillary and Her Supporters

And in the spirit with which Hillary extended her invitation to Bernie and HIS Supporters:

I hope someday you'll join us!

Imagine all the people, living life in peace

I CAN Imagine that, can't you?

You may say I'm a dreamer

Maybe, but they say if you can DREAM IT you can REALIZE IT ...

And I'm not the only one:

Bernie in Madison

I hope some day you'll join us .....

I really do ....

Dear Bernie Supporters You've Had Your Fun. Now, Hillary Wants Your Support!

She won the Confederate States as expected. Now she has to try to win over Democrats many of whom were so uninspired by the DNC's choice of candidate they didn't show up to vote.

She is losing in polls now in the upcoming Primaries where Progressives are going with Bernie.

Even in WV and Utah, Bernie is ahead of her now.

And here in NY, amazingly despite the efforts to stop new Dem voters from registering, Bernie is beating her by 2%.

The turnout was low among Dem voters and would have been even lower if Bernie was not in the race.

So despite all the nastiness towards all of us 'racist, sexist BernieBros' Hillary is asking us to 'unite'.

I have to say, as a totally thrilled Berniebro with last night's results I find it INSULTING for her to even SUGGEST that we leave a WINNING campaign for hers when we know she cannot defeat the Republicans.

So, my answer to Hillary's plea is 'how about YOUR supporters coming on over to the Winning Campaign so we can Defeat Republicans in November.

Oh, re BernieBros, anyone remember ObamaBoys?

Now on to the Convention and then to the WH!

Congratulations to Sen. Sanders and his amazing supporters on his incredible Victories last night.

We are changing the face of politics in this country

Clinton To Voter: Why Don't You Go Run For Something

Why Don't You Go Run For Something

Hillary Clinton was involved in brief confrontation with a young woman during a campaign stop in Minnesota Tuesday afternoon as voters headed to the polls to cast their ballot in the state’s primary.

The Democratic presidential front-runner was leaving a coffee shop when an unidentified Somali-American asked Clinton to comment on past racial remarks, including her recently retracted “super-predator” speech, and the lack of diversity among elected officials.

Clinton went on to reference Abdi Warsame, the first Somali-American elected to the Minneapolis City Council, which the woman questioned, arguing he lacked authenticity.

AAs are fleeing Hillary's campaign in droves. She is having a difficult time now explaining her past position on policies that have gravely harmed the AA community.

Bernie Sanders Just Shattered Fundraisiing Records To Fund the Political Revolution

Bernie Sanders Just Had His Best Fundraising Month Ever

Bernie Sanders Just Shattered Fundraising Records to Fund the Political Revolution
Zach Cartwright | March 1, 2016

To hear the pundits tell it, Bernie Sanders’ campaign is on its last leg. But if Bernie’s February fundraising totals are an indicator, the political revolution Sanders is calling for has begun.

As of this writing, Bernie Sanders is on target to raise over $42 million for the month of February. This morning, the Vermont senator originally set a goal of $40 million by 11:59 PM Pacific Time after announcing that his campaign had already raked in $36 million between February 1 and February 28. The campaign reached the $40 million goal shortly after 8 PM Eastern Time. According to the Sanders campaign, nearly $42 million has been raised by 1.4 million individual contributions, meaning the average contribution was approximately $30.

Whoa! He raised over $6 Million in 24 hours!

This equates to over $6 million raised in one day on the heels of Sanders’ crushing defeat in South Carolina. The one-day total is nearly as much as Sanders raised in the aftermath of his decisive win in the New Hampshire primary in early February, when the Sanders campaign raised $6.4 million in one day. While the Hillary Clinton campaign hasn’t yet disclosed its February fundraising total, it’s likely Sanders will have outraised the former Secretary of State for the second consecutive month. In January, Sanders raised nearly $5 million more than the Democratic front-runner, largely from a wave of small donations.

A recent Los Angeles Times article showed that some within the Democratic party were doubtful of Hillary Clinton’s fundraising viability if the nominating contest lasted late into the Summer, as the former First Lady and New York senator is already on the verge of tapping out her fundraising base. Many of her donors have already given the maximum $2700 donation one can give throughout the course of an election year.

[SIZE=5]$41,572,019! as of 8.40 PM exceeding his goal of $40 Million! [/SIZE]

And Hillary has to keep going back to the same people who can't legally give her any more.

I donated tonight but it was just $15.00.

Bernie's Political Revolution Under Way! 191 Bernie Democrats Running For Public Office So Far:

Expats For Bernie has compiled this list of 191 candidates who are running with Bernie for Federal and State Senate and Fed and State Congress.

Justin Bamberg eg, from SC, who has endorsed Bernie. He's a Civil Rights lawyer currently a State Rep. I would love to see him win a seat in Congress. Grivalda, Ellison and so many others. Bernie is going to need a Congress that will work with him.

I think this list is extremely important as we will have to focus on Congress as well as the WH because as Bernie has said, he cannot do it himself.

Erica Garner's Incredibly Moving & Powerful Commerical Endorsement of Bernie Sanders ...

If you don't cry while watching this, if you are not outraged that we live in a country where this could happen, if you are not moved to try to do something to STOP IT, regardless of politics, just as a nation, a citizen of this nation, then you are not human imo. Does ANYONE other than Bernie Sanders among our 'leaders' CARE? THIS made me cry.

Erica Garner’s Commercial Endorsing Bernie Sanders for President

For anyone who doesn't know who Erica Garner is, she is the daughter of Eric Garner, the man who was brutally and illegally choked to death by an NYPD officer while several other officers watched as he cried over and over again 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe'. And when the case was sent to a GJ, no charges were filed. How do you tell YOUR daughter what kind of country you live in when THIS is common practice of our Civilian Police when it comes to AAs and other minorities?

[video=youtube;oP4Xasc1t7Q]

[/video]

From Erica's Blog:

Last week we made a commercial to express to the world exactly why I am endorsing Bernie Sanders for President. The Sanders team allowed me and my team full creative control of this video so this message is 100% my message and my views! They had a totally different idea of what should be done, but true to form with Senator Sanders, he listened to me, didn’t tell me he knew better and I was not practical and this is what we produced.

The Senator didn’t reach out to me all of a sudden because he needs help with Black people. He didn’t put out a press conference announcing that we would be working together. He didn’t force me to frame my support of him around a subject matter that special interest groups that support him can get behind. They said we are glad to have your support, how do you want to plug in. You will see a lot of Black leaders handing out endorsements, think to yourself, have they historically been a rubber stamp for the establishment? I hope this expresses why I think Bernie is our guy!

If Bernie becomes President, I hope Erica would be part of his administration. She is an amazing woman ....

Why Does The DNC Keep Backing Only One Woman For President? We Have Some Great Qualified Women Dems

Barbara Lee

Elizabeth Warren

Nina Turner

And a whole lot more. Add your own choices.

I NEVER hear those who say 'I'm voting for Hillary because I want a Woman in the WH' even CHALLENGE the Male Establishment who choose our candidates, as to why we women are supposed to accept just this one woman over the past decade.

I've been wondering this for a long time. Why does the Male Establishment think we deserve NO CHOICE among Women Candidates while they have promoted several Men for the position?

And why do women accept this?

February 4, 2016

Why Bernie Is More Trustworthy on Foreign Policy Than Hillary:

Whether to go to war or not to go war is probably one of the most important decisions an elected official can be asked to make.

War means loss of life.

It means putting our troops in harm's way.

And it means the lives of untold numbers of innocent men, women and children.

I can't think of any more decision an elected official can be asked to make than this.

Both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton were presented with that decision while in a position of trust given to them by the American people.

It's important to note that many ordinary people knew that the President who was asking for the Authorization to go to war, was lying to the American people.

This is Bernie Sanders explaining why he would not give that authority to President G.W. Bush:

This is Hillary Clinton explaining why she was voting for giving that authority to President G.W. Bush:

Bernie Sanders showed incredibly good judgement and foresight when he cast his vote against the AUMF that day.

Hillary Clinton showed extremely bad judgement and frightening lack of foresight when she cast her vote that day.

We need leaders who both good judgement and foresight who we can trust not to make mistakes when faced with such onerous decisions.

THIS may be one of the main reasons why I support Bernie Sanders.

I trust him never to send our troops into harms way unless the this country is in imminent danger.

He has been proven to have been tragically right in his assessment of the terrible consequences of that invasion.

Hillary now calls her assessment 'a mistake'.

Evolving is great, for ordinary people. But we not need leaders who have not yet evolved on major issues such as War and when this country should go to war and when it should not.

We need people who are capable WHILE in office of making such serious decisions.

Iowa a Virtual Tie Decided By The Tossing Of Coins! Incredibile Win For Bernie!

Just months ago, December airc, Hillary was 30 points ahead of Bernie!

I remember all the polls being posted here, gleefully.

Well last night Bernie and his supporters blew all those predictions and polls to pieces.

Bernie CAN contest the result of this election which is so close no one can call it a clear win.

And here's why his campaign SHOULD ask for a recount, just one example:

I watched CSpan's coverage of Des Moines. Similar thing happened, 3 people were missing at the final count.

Bernie's people wanted a recount. Unlike what you read from Davenport, in Des Moines there was a quick hand count, and that was it.

Bernie has stated he 'wants all the facts' but has not yet asked for a recount.

Whatever he decides, it would be far more respectful to the process for Hillary to tone down her claims of winning..

I believe she declared herself the winning three times last night, whether she used the 'word' or not, when I saw her speech I thought it was over, when it was far from over.

I don't know what Bernie's campaign is thinking re asking for what they are entitled to, a recount, but as things stand, if he lets them stand, this race was a virtual tie.

And it is an amazing victory for Bernie.

Now on to New Hampshire.
