We have celebrated the birthday of MLK, Jr and I need to pass on something for my African-American brethren……

Let’s start with Bernie……he is showing great amount of support, even in the Deep South, Alabama to be exact, and that shocked even me…..I would have bet that a progressive like Bernie would be hard pressed to find many supporters….why?  Easy His opponents both Repub and Dem are making sure that the public knows that he is a Democratic Socialist (how long before they use the hammer and sickle against him?)…..and that brand use to be the kiss of death in the Deep South…..but today people are looking for answers to their problems and it appears that Bernie , at least for the Dems, may have the answers that all search for……

Sorry for the digression from the man that we celebrate this week…..but I needed to set the stage for the remainder of this post……

Fifty years ago the man that we celebrate for his civil rights activism was a Democratic Socialist (maybe not in name but his solutions and proposals were)….the same basic beliefs of Bernie Sanders…..real solutions for pressing social problems…..

In holding these views, King followed in the footsteps of many prominent, influential Americans whose views and activism changed the country for the better.

If you believe in the ideals of Martin Luther King then you believe in the candidate for 2016 that offers the same solutions to the problems that MLK saw and tried to solve…..

Time to “Feel The Bern”!
