Welcome to The Bernie Blog -- Bernie Sanders in 2016

Welcome to The Bernie Blog -- a place were everyday Americans can speak their piece. No fancy political pundits. No big name celebrities. No billionaires or personal friends of the Koch Brothers. Just ordinary folks who are struggling to survive day-by-day in the good ol' U.S.A. People who want to give voice to their concerns and share their hopes for the better world they envision with Bernie Sanders in the White House.

This blog was founded by two Ohioans who met each other on Facebook and thought that it would be a good thing to express what we thought of Sen. Bernie Sanders as a candidate for the presidency in 2016. We wanted the voting public to know why we supported Bernie Sanders and what his candidacy meant to us and others like us. We're not cranks. We're not part of the "radical fringe" as some in the press have tried to paint us and Bernie. We live in "normal" towns, in a very "normal" area of the state. We feel that there are many others out there who share similar concerns and also support Bernie's run for the White House.

We know that we are not alone.

Thanks to @NEforBernie2016 for the photo of the rally in Madison, WI.

And neither are you--join us! Please feel free to post your comments to our blog postings. Please share any and all information you think other Sanders supporters should know. We'll try to list web site links on our sidebar and add info pages as necessary. This is a work in progress, so please be patient with us as we get things set up. (Computer adepts and bloggers--please feel free to share your skills with us. Thank you.)

Together we will make our country a better place. Together we can change the world--for the better. Join our dream. Elect Sen. Bernie Sanders for president in 2016.

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” — Frederick Douglass

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

"Pessimist because of intelligence, but optimists because of will." - Antonio Gramsci

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." - Alice Walker

"Laws should be made to serve the people. People should not be made to serve the laws." - Huey P. Newton

"Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul." -Thomas Paine

"The country is in deep trouble. We've forgotten that a rich life consists fundamentally of serving others, trying to leave the world a little better than you found it. We need the courage to question the powers that be, the courage to be impatient with evil and patient with people, the courage to fight for social justice. In many instances, we will be stepping out on nothing, and just hoping to land on something. But that's the struggle. To live is to wrestle with despair, yet never allow despair to have the last word." - Dr. Cornel West

Progressive Henry Wallace in 1948: “Both parties—as the record makes clear—are the champions of big business. Republicans admit it. Democrats attempt to conceal it.”

"The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity ... They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection."

~ Vice President Henry A. Wallace

April 9, 1944

“Every time they strike a blow, they add a thousand new voices to the hosts proclaiming that socialism is the hope of humanity and has come to emancipate the people from their final form of servitude.”

Eugene V. Debs, 1918
