Letter to the editor

Bernie Sanders

Bernie galvanized the progressives of the nation by speaking for working people, the poor. He championed access to education and health care both excellent investments the country could make for its future.

He spoke up for the middle class, once the financial backbone of the nation. He recognizes the importance of manufacturing jobs. Bernie warned us all about the dangers of climate change.

For a brief few months Bernie woke up the hopeful and gave them a progressive vision of the future, only to be obscured by party politics and an aggressive, boorish candidate.
