★ About Bernie:
Bernie Sanders is a Democratic candidate for President of the United States. He is serving his second term in the U.S. Senate after winning re-election in 2012 with 71 percent of the vote. Sanders previously served as mayor of Vermont’s largest city for eight years before defeating an incumbent Republican to be the sole congressperson for the state in the U.S. House of Representatives. He lives in Burlington, Vermont with his wife Jane and has four children and seven grandchildren.

Bernard “Bernie” Sanders was born in Brooklyn, New York, to immigrant parents and grew up in a small, rent-controlled apartment. His father came to the United States from Poland at the age of 17 without much money or a formal education. While attending the University of Chicago, a 20-year-old Sanders led students in a multi-week sit-in to oppose segregation in off-campus housing owned by the university as a Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) officer. In August of 1963, Sanders took an overnight bus as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech firsthand at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

After graduation, Bernie moved to Vermont where he worked as a carpenter and documentary filmmaker. In 1981, he was elected as mayor of Burlington as an Independent by a mere 10 votes, shocking the city’s political establishment by defeating a six-term, local machine mayor. In 1983, Bernie was re-elected by a 21 point margin with a record amount of voter turnout. Under his administration, the city made major strides in affordable housing, progressive taxation, environmental protection, child care, women’s rights, youth programs and the arts. In 1990, Sanders was elected to the House of Representatives as the first Independent in 40 years and joined the Democratic caucus. He was re-elected for eight terms, during which he voted against the deregulation of Wall Street, the Patriot Act, and the invasion of Iraq.

In 2006, Sanders defeated the richest man in Vermont to win a seat in the U.S. Senate as an Independent. Known as a “practical and successful legislator,” Sanders served as chairman of the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs where he authored and passed the most significant veteran health care reform bill in recent history. While in the Senate, Sanders has fought tirelessly for working class Americans against the influence of big money in politics. In 2010, he gave an eight-and-a-half hour filibuster-like speech on the Senate floor in opposition to extending Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthy. In 2015, the Democratic leadership tapped Bernie to serve as the caucus’ ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee.

Known for his consistency on the issues, Senator Sanders has supported the working class, women, communities of color, and the LGBT community throughout his career. He is an advocate for the environment, unions, and immigrants. He voted against Keystone XL, opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, wants to expand the Voting Rights Act, and pass the Equal Rights Amendment.

[nannerpuss]

I was at this rally!! Love you Bernie!!

[hounddoggy]

I wish Joe Biden would have run, and I wish he and Bernie would have taken Hillary out of the race early on. I would have been okay with either of them as president. Sad state of affairs if it turns out to be Clinton or Trump.

[stevej]

Can't wait to vote for you Senator Sanders!! California is waiting to vote for you come June 7th!!

[Kang]

I don't know if my state will follow, but I will be there to vote for this man. I don't care if it rains or if the polls have irregularities. I don't care if I have to take the day off work. I don't care if I use an actual machine or have to write it on a crumpled slip of paper, clutched in my hand in the dark.

I will be there.

[LendallPitts]

My respect for Joe Biden just went up a thousand percent. And of course where Bernie went with Biden's remarks was, as usual, correct and inspirational.

[maumiceli]

Please PLEASE don't give up, people! Keep supporting Bernie more than ever! We can still make it.

[shalarawr]

Hell yeah, Joe!! Even though Joe is stuck in the rut of the political establishment, he always showed true heart. He is on the side of the ppl. Very moving

[shrulez]

Let's go Bernie
Don't give up, in Australia we had Gough Whitlam as prime minister who was a social democrat and was arguably more left than Bernie. He did get kicked out by the English queens representing, though, so keep that in mind
