We need someone like Bernie Sanders

For so long I have been voting not so much to put someone in office but to keep someone else out.  Now I'm excited because I've been listening to https://www.facebook.com/senatorsanders who actually is talking about issues near and dear to me.

Economic justice - now that is something I can wrap my head (and heart) around. 

I'm a person who uses assistance programs because my disability has prevented me from working.  Oh I have tried to work - but I have real barriers that get in my way of being successful.  So lately I've been trying to create myself - writing books (which I think I'm good at) and making them available for sale through amazon.com.  So I am trying.

But this is what gets me.  On Facebook I'm constantly reading how angry people are at those on assistance.  They are blaming this group for taxing them financially and they assume that those who are poor just want to be poor and feed off others.  MAYBE there is someone like that out there, but of the people I know who are on assistance programs this is so far from the truth.  We have had dreams "of being somebody someday."  None of us have had the dream that we wanted to be at the mercy of others.  We didn't dream that someday we'd need welfare. 

I think who we need to be angry at are the billionaires who don't pay their fair share of taxes and don't treat their employees right.  Wal-Mart is a fine example.  The Waltons don't care about their employees - working people still requiring assistance because they just aren't paid fairly.  They are workers - not simply "leaches" on the middle class.  They are trying to make something of themselves but just can't because the rich, rich are very selfish people in my opinion.

We need someone in office who can break away from being a democrat or republican - those two groups just aren't serving American people any more in my opinion.  We need someone different who truly stands up for American citizens.  We need a champion and if Bernie Sanders (someone who has been giving me hope) runs, he'll get my complete endorsement and everyone I know will just have to get to know him and stand behind him.  We need change and I think he's the answer.
