Comments by "Virginia Lawler" (@virginialawler7725) on "Bernie Reunites with Veteran at Emotional Town Hall" video.

  1. Thomas Sorensen You've moved many with your comments, too, Mr. Sorensen. Thank you for sharing! Blessings to you! Now...do take some time to be extra good to yourself! I still remember a couple of my Dad's favorite encouragements over many years: "One step (day) at a time!" and "Slow and steady wins the game!" Then, sometimes, "Repeat!"

  2.  @natetomaszewski2995  Me, too. As a retiree. Can't donate much. Sometimes just $2.70. BUT, we know every donor helps swell the all important head count, too! #NotMe.Us ;-)

  3.  @Spad68  1/31/22 now. Just something else from Trump not to believe. On the other hand, two large national veterans associations have named Bernie their "Man of the Year," in different years! Speaks volumes! NotMeUs.

  4.  Shanna Sweger  Yes, the msm has not been helpful, altho'-with hope- perhaps a tad better as Bernie continues to gain strength. What do you mean re "this story like Harry tries to avoid Voldemort"?

  6.  @natetomaszewski2995  So true. I remember something else horrid he said about Sen. McCain, "Something like, "I prefer people who don't get caught." Nicely ironic that Trump has finally gotten caught...we have to hope...even if the Senate fails to Impeach. Lovely to recall Sanders and McCain working across the aisle on the Veterans bill. And lovely of McCain to comment something like, "I, too, felt the Bern."

  8. 1/31/22 Thank You! IL native here. I first learned of Bernie in 1963 and have been a supporter ever since. He was a poli sci undergrad at the U. of Chicago then, when he was pictured in a Chicago newspaper being "helped" to the ground by a policeman for marching to defeat segregation. I'm so glad the video, "Bernie & Civil Rights in Chicago," is still available on You Tube. That has to mean lots of us are still watching...and learning about what a special public servant Sen. Sanders is, just as he was earlier as his state's lone U.S. Representative and before that as the thrice re-elected mayor of Vermont's largest city. Now, since last year, thru seniority, chairman of the Senate's powerful Budget Committee. NotMeUs.

  9. Exactly...and also a true "public servant."

  10. Nate Knows Very glad you mentioned the so important Erica Garner video. I remember it, too. Am grateful it's still on You Tube, for others to see. #NotMe.Us

  11. Babbot Finklestein I have respected, and admired Tulsi since 2016, when she'd stepped down from her high DNC post (vice chair maybe?) to protest the improper "shenanigans" by the DNC, chair Debbie Wasserman Schulz, Donna Brazille and others, including the Russians, who all helped to doom Bernie's chances. Evenso, the authentic and consistent little known (nationally) junior senator from a little state still won 22 states and more than 13,000,000 votes! I don't know much about Yang, but I do know that if Sen. Sanders wins, we'll be proud of his appointments. #NotMe.Us

  12.  @MrFerjurowns  Exactly right. And he's a true "public servant," too.

  13. Calarco Well...you and I and millions of others sure are trying as best we can to help him. And we MUST keep it up to support this man who has dedicated his life to helping Us in so many ways. There is simply no one else as worthy of the nomination, plus I feel sure even dreadful Trump has enough sense to most dread having to debate him!

  14.  @nihleigleca6702  Hhmmm. Sen. Sanders was named "Man of the Year" by two of our largest national veterans organizations, different years. You're saying (in all caps, too) that all those veterans would vote such a high honor to a "RADICAL COMMY"? Don't think so. Brooklyn College selected Bernie for an Honorary Doctorate. Are you saying that high honor went to a "RADICAL COMMY"? Don't think so. Bernie was the thrice re-elected mayor of Burlington, Vermont's largest city, serving eight years. He then defeated the incumbent Republican to become the sole U.S. Congressperson for the state, also re-elected. Is now the re-elected junior U.S. Senator (earning 71% of the vote in 2012, don't know the latest figures). You think all those Vermonters supported a "RADICAL COMMY"? Don't think so. Two and a half million Americans made an unprecedented 8 million individual contributions averaging $27 apiece to help fund Bernie's 2016 presidential run as a relatively lesser known senator from a small northeastern state. With thirteen million votes nationwide he held 1,846 pledged delegates as runner-up to Hilary Clinton at the July Dem convention. Did all those Americans across our nation (and as Americas Abroad) vote for a "RADICAL COMMY"? Don't think so. Etc. Etc. An IL native, I'm 82 now, first learned of Bernie in 1962 when he was an undergrad poli sci activist at the U. of Chicago. At a protest against school segregation, he was arrested and spent the night in jail, sprung by the NAACP the next day. He organized a busload to DC for MLK's historic 1963 March for Jobs and Freedom(and dynamic "I Have a Dream" speech. Always an Independent Democratic Socialist, he'd found his life's work young as a champion for civil, economic ,environmental, gender, racial and social justice...and for peace. The You Tube, "Bernie & Civil Rights in Chicago," is a favorite. I hope you'll learn more...facts...about Bernie. #Medicare for All #NotMeUs

  15. David Butler Thank you from the bottom of my heart. As the 81 y.o. mom of one Marine, and the niece of another, I'll share a family story you might enjoy. My only uncle was a sharpshooter who went out and secured pheasants on special dinner orders from neighbors in Champaign, IL, before he spent his whole service training recruits at Parris Island. At the same time, his bride, a nurse, seemed to serve "in every Hell Hole in Europe," he proudly reported. They both survived that war, as did an early ancestor, a private who fought for Virginia in several battles in the American Revolution before heading west to be a farmer, and, my only brother-in-law, who was a paratrooper. Bernie's consistent work for vets is appreciated.

  16. Exactly! Thank you! And, as an IL native, I also especially love another powerful video on You Tube, "Bernie & Civil Rights in Chicago." NotMeUs.
