Most black people in America don't vote at all, because we have no faith in this political system, and I'm one of those blacks. Every year we see the Democrats come to our community to try and get votes, and then we never hear from them again.



We have seen our people get used over and over again by politicians, and nothing changes for our community. Often times our community gets worse. That is why I've never voted, and that's why I don't belong to any political party.



Bernie in researching you I found out that you are an Independent, and you are not a Democrat or Republican. You are the longest serving Independent in American history that has served in the U.S. Congress. After learning that I said to myself this guy might be alright because he's not a Democrat or a Republican.



I said that's a really good start but let me do some research on this guy to see if he's just talking. In researching you I found that you were arrested in 1963 for protesting against segregated schools. I also found out that you were speaking out against police brutality in the 1960's. I then found out that you organized sit ins to try and stop injustice done to blacks. In going further into my research I found out that you were a member of The Congress of Racial Equality, and you were in the 1963 March on Washington with Martin Luther King Jr. Malcolm X also attended that march. I said to myself this is a good dude right here, he's not just talking he has a track record of fighting for blacks and the poor.



Then I saw videos of you speaking up strongly for blacks on the floor of the House of Representatives all during the 1990's, and that told me that your fighting for black people didn't end in the 1960's, it has continued until this day. The things that you are saying now you have been saying those things for years, that's how I know that you are real with what you are saying.



Bernie I don't see you as a politician at all, I see you as an activist, and for that reason I'm going to do something that I've never done before in my life. I'm going to vote for the very first time, and I'm going to vote for you.



The most powerful thing that a president have is the (bully pulpit) and I believe that you will use that bully pulpit on a regular basis on behalf of black and the injustices that we face.



In closing Bernie Sanders I would like to say this to you. There are a small number of blacks in America that actually know what's going on in the world. These blacks don't get their information from the 6 O'Clock news, these blacks dedicate themselves to reading and studying as much as possible. Most blacks are uninformed when it comes to politics, and many other things. Most Americans in general are uninformed.



Bernie it's the uninformed blacks that's speaking against you and voting against you, and they are doing it out of ignorance. There's no way that a black person in their right mind could listen at what you are saying, and not see that its good for blacks.



Bernie whether you become the president or not, I think that you are a really good dude and we need a lot more people in the world like you, and don't hold all blacks responsible for the uninformed blacks that's speaking against you. Know this, there are a whole lot of black people out here that support you.



Open letter to you and from myself and other blacks that think like me.



STAY STRONG.
