but I'm going with Bernie. I believe he has the right ideas about the direction this country needs to take. I believe we need to have income equality, ethnic equality (I don't like "racial", we're all one race), sexual/gender equality, age equality.

We need to stop letting the corporations run this country into the ground for profit. I don't think Hillary will do that, no matter how far "left" Bernie pushes her. It's all a front, a do-whatever-will-get-me-elected sham.

We need to stop letting the religious nuts set the tone for conversation and debate. We need to stop going into other countries to control them and get their native wealth (no war for oil). We need to take care of our own people, get them jobs, healthcare and protection from out of control police and courts.

We need to end this ridiculous war on drugs, for-profit prison system and privatized education and healthcare systems.

I think Bernie is the only one who can lead us to these goals, and will do my best to get him and like-minded congressional members in office to do so. And I'll try to wrest control of my state from the right wing crazies who are ruining it now.
