BERNIE SANDERS ON POVERTY IN AMERICA - WEST VIRGINIA SPEECH
https://berniesanders.com/bernie-sanders-poverty-mcdowell-county-west-virginia/
EXCERPT: In the United States today, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, 47 million Americans are living in poverty.
Almost 22 percent of American children are poor and we have the highest childhood poverty rate of any major country on earth.
Let’s be clear. Living in poverty doesn’t just mean you don’t have enough money to buy a big screen TV, a fancy laptop computer, or the latest version of the iPhone.
It goes much, much deeper than that. In America today, being poor not only means you are less likely to have a grocery store in your community selling healthy food, far too often it means you don’t know where your next meal is going to come from. In fact, 15 million children in America today are living in families that struggle to put enough food on the table.
Living in poverty means you are less likely to have access to a doctor, a dentist, or a mental health care provider. And if you are lucky enough to see a doctor it means you are less likely to afford the prescription drugs a doctor prescribes to you. In fact, one out of five Americans between the ages of 18-64 cannot afford to fill their prescription medication at a drug store.
Living in poverty means you are less likely to have access to public transportation — which makes it harder to find a job.
It means you are less likely to have access to child care. And you are more likely to do drugs and engage in self-destructive activities....

SPIKE LEE ENDORSES BERNIE SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
ABC NEWS - POLITICS - SPIKE LEE FOR BERNIE SANDERS
EXCERPT: Waaaaake up! Wake up, South Carolina!” Lee begins in the new spot first obtained by ABC News from the Bernie Sanders campaign. “This is your dude, Spike Lee. And you know that I know that you know that the system is rigged! And for too long we’ve given our votes to corporate puppets. Sold the okie doke. Ninety-nine percent of Americans were hurt by the Great Recession of 2008, and many are still recovering.

Ninety-nine percent of Americans were hurt by the Great Recession of 2008, and many are still recovering.
“That’s why I am officially endorsing my brother, Bernie Sanders. Bernie takes no money from corporations. Nada. Which means he’s not on the tape, and when Bernie gets into the White House, he will do the right thing!” the actor, writer and film producer continues in the ad. ...In the one-minute ad, Lee goes on to talk about Sanders' record fighting for civil rights, including his being arrested at the University of Chicago for protesting segregation and attending the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s march on Washington. Lee praises Sanders for his consistency on the issues.
Over the weekend, another famous African-American actor, Danny Glover, attended events in the South Carolina on Sanders' behalf as well. The state holds the next primary in the fight for the Democratic nomination on Saturday.

JEB BUSH - A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE THAT WANTED TO CUT THE PROGRAMS THAT STOP AMERICANS FROM RIOTING IN THE STREETS
OK SO WE ARE NOT SURPRISED THAT JEB HAS STEPPED DOWN FOR HIS OWN SAKE AND THAT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY....
HUFFINGTON POST on JEB BUSH - WHO WANTS TO CUT WELFARE and FOOT STAMPS
EXCERPT: Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush on Friday proposed an overhaul of the U.S. welfare system that would eliminate what he called failing programs for the poor and send the federal dollars from them to the states to develop their own plans.
Bush, continuing an effort to position himself as the most serious, substantive candidate in the race for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, laid out his plan ahead of a poverty forum in South Carolina on Saturday.
Bush said decades of federal policy have not solved the vexing problem of how to help generations of Americans mired in poverty.
"We have spent trillions of dollars on the ‘war on poverty,’ but there are now still more than 46 million Americans living in poverty," he said in a statement laying out his plan.
Bush, a former Florida governor, would take some controversial steps as part of his welfare plan.
He would eliminate the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, formerly called food stamps, housing assistance programs and a cash program called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
He would use the money to give so-called "right to rise" grants to the states to let state governments fund programs they develop as the best way to address poverty.
To encourage more Americans on welfare to seek jobs, Bush would include in "Right to Rise" grants work requirements and time limits for able-bodied adults.
***
JEB BUSH is simply out of touch with reality, and our experience is Republicans are more so than Democrats. He doesn't seem to realize that many adults GAVE UP ON FINDING WORK after long and excruciating job hunts while on unemployment, because they face discrimination, or because their work skills need expensive retraining, or because they have had a work place injury... or simply because there WERE NO JOBS AVAILABLE in a reasonable commute from where they live. MANY reasons besides being uninterested, unwilling, or lazy. IF YOU WERE GOING TO LOOSE YOUR HOME or APARTMENT (and maybe your marriage, or your children, wouldn't YOU take "any kind" of job?)
We've met many people who did take part time or low paid work and slid into homelessness more slowly. People who slowly sold off every valuable possession they had, including their furniture, to live in a vehicle.
WE SAY JEB, go sleep on the street every night for a month with no money and no family contact and no security guards hovering to protect you. Let us know how it goes.

We endorse BERNIE SANDERS for the NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
With one in seven Americans needing government benefits in order to eat enough nutritious food and MANY MANY THOUSANDS BARELY ABLE TO AFFORD RENT and dependent on governmental programs that provide low income people with rental subsidies, as well as many thousands of HOMELESS throughout the country - at least 50,000 her in LOS ANGELES COUNTY...
... IT'S A NO BRAINER that WE NEED A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE and we think BERNIE SANDERS is our CANDIDATE.
BERNIE SANDERS OFFICIAL SITE!
Sick of the sexism of popular DONALD TRUMP, whose reception in foreign countries is likely to be negative, considering that in GREAT BRITAIN there is an outcry against him... Unsure that HILARY CLINTON will survive her e-mail scandals, though we doubt there should be any scandal? We've watched what's happened in IOWA, and in NEW HAMPSHIRE, and HOPE that those of you reading this post around the United States are gearing up to VOTE!
(HOMELESS CAN VOTE! See our sidebar for more information!)
