Bernie!

In Vermont, we consider politicians as our neighbors. More importantly, we are considered neighbors by our politicians. If you ask a Vermonter about Bernie Sanders, they might not agree with every aspect of his political agenda, but most often he will be referred to as simply “Bernie”.

Vermont politics are not the slick, airbrushed publicity-seeking affair they are most everywhere in the USA. Vermonters are a discerning bunch, and will not put up with anything false. Education is a primary concern across the state, and young people who may choose a trade rather than higher education are still equipped to be thoughtful, insightful thinkers.

With a population so well-suited to cutting through hype to see the real deal, it is not surprising that our small state has produced a presidential candidate with real plans to make real change to benefit the people. Whether he gains the nomination or not, Bernie will continue to use the publicity he has to promote what is good in our country, not what is self-serving, exploitative, or greedy, as some others continue to put forward.

Bernie is good for Vermont, and great for America.
