Bernie Sanders for President 2020

Since the early 1960s, Bennie Sanders has worked for
social justice, human rights and civil rights, a commitment
for which Sanders was ridiculed and defamed by Hillary
Clinton hacks who proceeded to give us Donald Trump.

"Not me. Us," says Sanders campaign

Madison, Wisconsin — Bernie Sanders announced this morning he is running for president.

Twenty-five months into the Trump administration gifted to America by the  Democratic Party establishment, Bernie Sanders begins with a huge institutional advantage over other candidates.

That institution is the American people, of whom, by whom and for whom we have a country that has chosen liberal democracy — in painful steps, leaving people behind, on the ground and in chains.

But progress comes from the people. Today, the people agree with Bernie Sanders on the issues and demand change.

The people through Bernie Sanders have set the agenda on the issues for other candidates as they try to out-do each other by adopting the people's stands on policy. Good.

I'm running for president. I am asking you to join me today as part of an unprecedented and historic grassroots campaign that will begin with at least 1 million people from across the country. Say you're in: https://t.co/KOTx0WZqRf pic.twitter.com/T1TLH0rm26

People are who Bernie Sanders understands and fights for: A truly Democratic movement has as its foundation —  the people.

The people are not objects, over which one candidate cackled in recalling how she schemed to imprison parents.

Liberty, freedom and not the state incarcerating our fellows is the way forward.

Bernie Sanders would never laugh at struggling parents and muse about putting them in jail.

To the contrary.

Social progress has overcome the death, torture and enslavement of millions, and since Bernie Sanders' college days, Bernie has been on the right side of history, fighting for civil rights, jobs and social justice.

Everything is at risk as the white supremacist Republican Party and Donald Trump threaten the American people as no Party or domestic movement has ever before threatened us.

I am supporting Bernie Sanders for president in 2020 because Bernie does not want to be a leader. He wants a democracy.

Because Bernie believes as I do that private prisons, mass incarceration and imprisoning poor parents are outrages to the democratic project.

Bernie Sanders wants to be on my team and help transform America as the unique promise for which we must forever fight.

“I am running for President because we need to invest in jobs and education for our kids, not more jails and incarceration. We need to end the destructive war on drugs private prisons, and cash bail, and bring about major police department reform.” @BernieSanders #Bernie2020 pic.twitter.com/9Gk96hS3dt

Bernie Sanders is us.

In April 2016, in my state, Wisconsin, the people voted overwhelmingly for Bernie. The Democratic Party super-delegates vetoed the people and chose Hillary Clinton, to catastrophic consequence.

Bernie Sanders is back. So are we.
