  1. No. So very sorry for your country's situation, too.

  2. Exactly! Sen. Sanders would be in the middle of his second term as our POTUS...and our nation would have advanced for All of Us, too. #NotMeUs.

  3. Thank you for your post. You are so right about Bernie's consistency for All of Us over decades. Thrice re-elected mayor of Vermont's largest city, then re-elected US representative, now in his 3rd term as a US senator. I'm glad his work earned him two honorary degrees, too, because too few of us still know of his lifetime of work. He has my deepest respect, too.

  4. Me, too. And... He should be in the middle of his 2nd term right now.

  5. Bernie is the incoming chair of the H.E.L.P. committee--I think there MIGHT be a newer You Tube out w/ more info about it. Hope this little bit of info helps. Not sure about other committees you refer to. Maybe updated in his congressional bio.

  6.  @Trilogine  Got it. Thanks a lot. Sigh.... At 84, I must be denser than I thought.

  7. Biggest congratulations on your own success...and appreciation for your empathy for others. !!

  8. 1/16/23 now. I've recently seen several posts promoting Bernie for Pres. and Katie for VP the next time around. #NotMeUs.

  9. Me, too! And, we know there are millions more of us who believe Bernie should be in the midst of his 2nd term now. #NotMeUs.

  11. I don't know what you mean with your post. ? I do know that Sen. Sanders has earned national awards from at least two major veterans service organizations (the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars).

  12. I also love what Sen. Sanders talks about...and has, consistently...for decades. I also love all the Work he has done and continues to do, consistently, for All of Us, over all the decades. Have you missed all that? An Illinois native, 84 now, I hope you'll take a look at the YouTube "Bernie and Civil Rights in Chicago" for just one early example of his efforts. Have you read his bio or his congressional record? I think you'd find both informative, as well as the several other You Tubes available about his work. #NotMeUs.

  13. Egad. We thought/hoped trump had been permanently banished for a truckload of reasons. Not so?

  14. Ha. Extra points for clever.

  16. Exactly. I wish I'd said (written) that. Sure glad you did. Thanks. #NotMeUs.

  17. 1/17/23 now. I'm very glad, and much appreciate, that you noted Senator Sanders has "our votes and our blessings." Am a bit sorry you suggested that he "go to work" because I believe he's been hard at work, consistently, for All of Us for decades. And, he's combined his work with "talking" straight to us (as individuals and as a nation) over all those years, which has helped educate millions about issues important to us, and to our nation. At 84 now, an Illinois native, I first learned of him from a Chicago newspaper back in 1963 that showed a policeman "helping him" to the ground for marching against segregation. I'm glad the You Tube, "Bernie and Civil Rights in Chicago," is still available. Bernie has continually focused on issues that have been particularly important to me--and to so many of us--including civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice...and peace. He's worked as the thrice re-elected mayor of Vermont's largest city, then as the re-elected US representative for his state, now in his third term as a US Senator. He's earned two honorary college degrees for his service. He's been honored with national awards from two of our largest veterans' service organizations (in different years), the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Etc. I believe he has truly earned and well deserves the title of "public servant," more than "politician".... In Peace....

  18. Me, too! And...we know that with every post he's also reaching some, or at least one, who hasn't ever heard his message(s) before. #NotMeUs.

  19.  @onetrueslave  Love it. Very apt. #NotMeUs

  20.  @grakkerful  Yes. Thank you for your post and correction. How I wish Juli Grlee would correct the post itself (which was such a good one until the typo!). Well, it's only been up two days now, so maybe that still will happen.

  21. @darukineo ?? What do you, and johnharrington22, above, mean? I'd never heard of "revenge fantasies" until the two posts here and then later ones below by both @nemesisurvivorle and MrReedling. I truly can't see such references connected to Bernie Sanders' life's work in any way. He has...somehow...been "positive" while working comprehensively for All of Us ever since we first learned of him. That includes me, Illinois native now 84, in August 1963. The You Tube, "Bernie and Civil Rights in Chicago" is still available. It's a worthy introduction to what became his comprehensive life's work for civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice...and for peace. Etc. To me, he's been and is a (very) forceful, fact-based adversary re all the serious issues still confronting/hurting our country. And, he is also a strong, effective hero, continually educating us about our beloved nation's problems in a positive way as he works consistently to reduce/eliminate them. To me, Bernie has only one goal: a better life for #NotMeUs.

  22. Very fortunate for #NotMeUs that Bernie is the new chair of this committee!

  23. I sure agree that Sen. Sanders is a national treasure and the most principled and genuine politician in my lifetime (and I'm 84). For two reasons I don't think he'd like a statue of himself, no matter how well intended. 1-I think a statue would be too "showy" and too self-centered for him and 2--a waste of money/too much money (from his point of view), that he'd rather see used to benefit the lives of so many Americans who live in poverty--maybe something that could perhaps be named in his honor. Perhaps in Vermont. Just a thought. #NotMeUs.

  24. Thank you for your much appreciated post. Wish I'd said that! #NotMeUs.

  25. Your post and offer sounds sincere. But, I think there is little chance of Sen. Sanders ever seeing it, or even ever being told of it. Just a thought. You might fare better if you try to contact him though his Burlington or Congressional offices. The contact info for both is available in several places.

  26. You've had to deal with truly horrible stuff re your house and hospital bill. Beyond dreadful for you, and I am so very sorry. I do hope you'll come to know that neither situation was Sen. Sanders' fault. He conceded because he and his staff counted the primaries and votes ahead, and they just didn't matchup for him to win the nomination. He couldn't ask his supporters to continue to contribute their time and money to him when there was no longer any possibility he could prevail. #NotMeUs.

  28.  @MattCorrales  2/23/23 now. How I hope you'll want to re-think your comment about Sen. Sanders! When Bernie endorsed Biden, the only choice left was Biden or Trump! To me, no choice, really, for any serious progressive...or patriotic American. Sanders has already gotten a good bunch of "calls" across the 'net to run for POTUS in 202 --thoughtful "3rd time's the charm" opinions, I think. At 84, I'd 100% enthusiastically support such a decision (again) if he does choose to make it. He is still...by far...the best (and strongest) choice to lead our nation at this time in our history. An Illinois native, I first learned of Bernie in August 1963, from a Chicago newspaper photo of a policeman "helping" him to the ground for marching against segregation. The NAACP got him out the next day. The You Tube, "Bernie Sanders and Civil Rights in Chicago," is still available and still informative. As a thrice re-elected mayor of Vermont's largest city, re-elected congressperson and now in his 3rd term as a U.S. senator, Bernie has also earned two honorary degrees...and also the highest national award bestowed by both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. To me, no one in the running can compare with his credentials, his work and his heart, for All of Us at every stage. NotMeUs.

  29. True.

  30. An Illinois native, I first learned of Bernie from "Bernie and Civil Rights in Chicago," a fine You Tube still in circulation. Have continued to appreciate him more and more thru all the years. Think highly of Illinois' Adam KInzinger, too, altho' I'm usually a Dem. Pete is from neighboring Indiana, and I will try to learn more positive things about him because of your post.

  31. Curious what your post...with its "No"/"Love it!"...is supposed to mean. ??

  32. A couple of places might be his two offices. One in Burlington, VT. The 2nd, his congressional office in DC. Maybe even start with a phone call to them to ask for directions.
