I just want to inform voters that you have a lot of choice, but there is only one presidential contender who is going to have your interest in mind: Bernie Sanders.I know you are saying, &#8220;Bernie who?&#8221;The reason you are not familiar with the name is because he was always doing his job, and doing a great one at that. He is a senator from Vermont. He has nine years in the Senate and has served as mayor of Burlington, Vermont, for eight years until he was elected to the House of Representatives for 15 years.He than ran for Senate and won. All this as an Independent.Now he is running as a Democrat. This man has walked the walk and has fought for the working man more than any of the politicians running for president today. You will have to look up his record or go to the town hall meetings that he holds to find out about him.Most of the news media is made up of the rich, and Bernie promises to raise the taxes on the rich. He doesn&#8217;t get PAC money and never did. He takes only grassroots donations. His record will prove that what I&#8217;m saying is true.He has fought for the troops&#8217; benefits, but he did vote against the war in Iraq. He is making a big showing every place he goes, and when people hear him they know he is the real thing, not a puppet for the rich, banks and Wall Street.I believe Bernie and the pope would make a good pair.Dale EastmanMeshoppen
