Why Bernie Sanders has to be the bravest man on the planet and declare his candidacy for President of the United States

(and why Jon Stewart should come back to The Daily Show)*

If the democratic party won’t get the hint…

Bring THEM with YOU.

The Democrats are holding you back.

They are holding the country back.

They don’t want single-payer healthcare.

They won’t come out for a living wage.

They WON’T STOP taking (bribes) corporate cash.

They won’t stop BOMBING countries

and killing civilians and children.

They have NO IDEA what they stand for?

They won’t open their primaries.

They won’t stop rigging the system in their favor.

(Side note on rigging elections: Bernie WON Indiana by 5%.

He was awarded 44 delegates. Hillary Clinton LOST

by 5%. She was awarded 46 delegates. She was awarded

2 MORE delegates for LOSING by 5 points!)

Welcome to American democracy?

Why make it EASY for them to keep people

in POVERTY?

In my little town here in Indiana, I voted in the primary

at the Edgewood Baptist Church on May 3^rd, 2016.

I voted for you. And I told everyone who would listen

that you were going to WIN Indiana.

And when you did, I will thank you forever

about how you made me feel.

Voting for you was BY FAR, the BEST VOTE

I have ever cast.

I know you are fighting the good fight.

But WHY NOT fight it from the TOP OF THE HILL,

instead at the bottom of a Canyon.

(remember, the American people are with you wonderful you

on almost EVERY SINGLE issue.

and

you are the most popular politician/American in the entire country)..

Bernie, you have millions and millions of ready, brilliant, dedicated Americans

who are ready to HELP YOU.

You have to be BRAVE, you are NOT alone.

Look how far the democrats have fallen. Did I imagine it or was there a poll recently

that said the Democrats are now LESS TRUSTED

than the republican party?

a party that has Donald Trump as their leader.

The Democrats are LESS trusted than that?

Now instead of building homes for the poor,

Our former President is going to give a speech

to Billionaires for cash, to the tune of

$400,000 an hour.

will the transcripts be available?

Yep, the same folks who ruined the lives of so many innocent

Americans,

and did it laughing in their poor faces,

they committed unspeakable acts of cruelty,

destroying peoples lives for money..

Oh, and they didn’t go to jail.

Ten years later, they are still laughing.

Only they are a LOT RICHER.

Instead of buying curtains for their prison cells they bought

a BIGGER yacht, or another country home.

Our president (former) is taking their money.

The poor will get POORER during that speech.

They will need those homes that are NOT being built.

Bernie, come on. If that wasn’t the last straw it has to be

in the top FIVE.

Think it over…

7. Independents 43%, Democrats 28% Republicas 26%. That was something like the last poll I saw. A Brand New Party is there for the taking. But if you want to run as a Democrat and CLEAN HOUSE,

so be it.

In the meantime, See if you can get a democrat to mention FDR or The New Deal?

Good Luck with that.

And remember you have THE issues on YOUR side.

You have the American people on your side.

Declare NOW! Make the Rest Follow Your Lead.

Maybe even make Trump change his policies when he sees public support for you and your ideas.

Trump, Believe Me!, does NOT want to go down in HISTORY as #worsethanbush

He’ll come around. If he stays away from the BUTTON, that is.

Getting Cuban Missile Crisis vibes

all over again.

so, who knows basically. ODDS/pick’em.

Think it over…

12. Bernie, You need to ditch these people before THEY start bringing YOU down.

It’s that syndrome where if you hang around a bunch of dumbasses people start to think that you’re a dumbass.

And right now there is plenty of dumbass to go around.

It rubs off. Dumbass rubs off.

A bird craps on Tom Perez, the American flag crashes to the ground behind him…

You know these things go in threes, right?

And you do spend A LOT of TIME standing right next to him.

I’m just saying???

17. Do it for the people. A young lady just left my house, who 3 weeks ago, was about to lose the house she was renting and would have to live in her car with her two children. That close to being destitute. Hungry. Starving. On the street.

Do it for people like her, Bernie.

Please.

21. None of us are getting any younger. Enuff said.

23. Make them follow YOU, Bernie.  Be the BRAVEST man on planet earth.

Must say goodnight. As my old roommate from Brooklyn used to tell me, “John, you have insomnia of biblical proportions.”

That and a raging case of PTSD.

Almost 38 hours now. Personal record is 74! Brooklyn, NY October 1986.

26. Well, as you can imagine it’s a LONG LIST of reasons why…

So Bernie? Why the HELL not?

Hugs to you wonderful you.

So tired, gonna crash for awhile.

Pleasant dreams..

I appreciate all of your support. Your kindness has been a blessing. But please, no more phone calls for awhile. I am staying at a make shift hospice caring for 2 elderly folks who need as much rest and recovery as possible.

All contact through website and email would be appreciated.

Best to you always,

Love, Love

John
