Country ready for Bernie Sanders

Trickle down is a term with which we have all become familiar since Ronald Reagan began his march to the Berlin Wall. The top consisted of a business, military, political, and governmental soup. Those ingredients would mix and the resulting nourishment would feed us all. Until it didn't.

Thirty years later and here we are starving because we believed. We voted or didn't vote. Politicians came and went with an agenda serving their greedy interests and we kept getting more jobs and consuming more junk and eating more junk and breathing more junk until we thought about our grandchildren.

Corpus Christi has been laboring under that same trickle down sludge for too long. You have a chance to turn your local trickle into a force for change by voting for and working for Bernie Sanders. With the radical breath of fresh honesty, solutions, and concern he will bring to America, you can also effect change here because the Revolution is about We The People taking back our government. Part of his campaign is to encourage new blood into the political system because he can't do this by himself. Bernie's change is away from the current Democratic Party favorite because he has taken NO money from any interest group who would look for favors down the road. And those favors own this country. Bernie's favors will be robust investment in public services and the common good. Aren't you ready, Corpus Christi?

We have a strong Feel the Bern group here locally. Coastal Bend Progressives for Bernie is our Facebook page. This really is a do or die election. Our grandchildren face a bleak world which could be brightened and enhanced and brought to thrive again. Bernie is our Genesis effect!
