I have been selected for New Mexico to be the State At Large Delegate to the National Convention.  It was a very close race with a great challenger from Las Cruces.

I have been watchining my country slide for a long time.  Friends struggle to make ends meet as retirees or persons on disability.  Our planet is in trouble as well.  
We go on to fight for a Sanders Position to be the next President of the United States.  I can do this for us. 

I am not only going to the convention but I am intending on walking from DC to Philadelphia prior to the convention.  I will have outrage on this walk directed at many agencies and houses of government. 

I'll be driving  from Albuquerque to Philly and then down to District of Columbia and then starting my walk from in front of the White House making a stop there. Then to the great mall and in front of the Capital and making a stop there. I then will be starting with the other 200 to 300 people that are intending to walk all the way to Philadelphia.

Help me make it there and back and to be a voice in the reclaiming of our government through the Bernie Revolution

Why do I believe in Senator Bernie Sanders as the Democratic Nominee for President?

Well I do respect a man that knows how to measure twice and cut once. Before his political career started, Sanders was a carpenter and filmmaker. Both vocations work with raw products and have to fashion them into a cohesive whole. It’s like public legislation.  There are the facts that lead to a perceived truth of a matter then there are alternatives. Sometimes in consideration of the time and opportunities one may even do nothing.

 I do respect and honor a man that has been able to work together with his wife Jane for 28 years.  Family and friends hold him in high esteem.  Then on trek this past year in California, Oregon and Washington I never, ever, found a single Vermonter I had found that would tell me that they would not vote for him for the position of President of the United States.  I so do like in a future President a proven leader that has already held the job position of chief executive of a government body and performed great work there. Additionally he has held successfully, jobs in both most esteemed Congressional bodies and with unquestioned competence (Except by political hacks who failed at their own jobs in protecting the public purse).

His colleagues also may not think him as most bipartisan but that is the problem with progressives and issues of different public policy vs. the go along to get along slightly better usually going with what makes no sense. That said, as ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee Senator Sanders did not get to that position without knowing the government of the country and its economic structure.

Issues he raises on all fronts progressive are fiscally sound when attached to a budget of cuts and rollbacks, and yes, fair taxation. Issues and solutions he poses are endorsed by the general public in poll after poll. Many economists have both reviewed endorsed his plan and even by likes of the conservative Center for Tax Justice. Importantly they are doable. He worked with John McCain for Veterans Affairs legislation signed into law by Obama. 

As mayor of Burlington Vermont he worked with the biggest Republican developer to the city into being one of the most livable cities in the country.  His vision for the nation and the world is aligned with progress, reducing conflict and F.D.R. Democratic Party values.  He is a friend to both the common man and woman. He listened, really listened to them carefully and respectfully over the years.  His clear answers to a Friday call-in show for years to me is still an example to other politicians in the art of good public discourse.  He has shown to be fully capable of using a bully pulpit.  He shows me that he believes in the aspirations of all. The family net worth of less than $460,000 shows me he has not been in it for the money. I anticipate that with him I do not have to worry about him speaking truth to power especially since the money for his campaign is not from big business.

As for the main opponent to his candidacy on the Republican side, I do get the businessman aspect of Donald Trump having owned a business myself.  However, business is not government and government is not a business.  Government is societal by its very nature and has a very different bottom line. Trump seems to bring out the worst of our country.  We do not need anyone stifling dissent or our rights.
