Sanders deserves attention for president

Posted August 14, 2015 1:00 am

If you are looking for a candidate that is not all about ego, please take a look at Bernie Sanders.

I believe that Bernie Sanders has the right stances on the issues and the track record backing them up, but he is also building a winning grass-roots campaign necessary to win the Iowa caucus and the Democratic nomination.

The turnout at his recent campaign events is nothing less than astounding, and a true indication of the momentum his campaign has garnered in short order. According to the latest polls, he is already surpassing Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, and close behind in Wisconsin and Washington state, and surging in Iowa.

I strongly encourage everyone to take a good look at Bernie Sanders, his stances, background and campaign - and volunteer to help elect him.

I am thrilled to see Sen. Bernie Sanders garnering the attention he deserves as a true champion of working people.

He will make a fantastic president.
