Bernie Proposes Legislation to Abolish For-Profit Prisons

“They laughed at Bernie Sanders when he ran for mayor, not just because he was a brash outsider from Brooklyn, neither Republican nor Democrat, but because he was an avowed socialist“, said a NBC News report in 1985, the day Sanders was sworn in for his third term as Burlington mayor.

As for Clinton, Wallace volunteered that a lot of voters will be turned off by the scandal over her use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state and whether she mishandled classified information. “As president of the United States, nobody will fight harder to end institutional racism and to reform our broken criminal justice system”.

Sanders called for banning the for-profit prison industry, demilitarizing local police forces and restoring portions of the Voting Rights Act struck down by the Supreme Court.

However, shortcomings Bernie Sanders does indeed have, and his supporters would do well to acknowledge them and welcome efforts at improving his campaign.

Late Saturday, he visited Charleston, where African-American Walter Scott was killed in a high-profile police shooting earlier this year.

Republican base voters will be fired up beyond belief to take back the White House-and vote against Clinton-next November.

The protesters who crashed the Bernie Sanders event at Westlake Park in Seattle are a disgrace to their movement. Clinton is liked by 80 percent of respondents, while 76 percent say they favor Sanders. In response, many supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement sarcastically turned this argument around on the Sanders camp with the hashtag #BernieSoBlack, which became a trending topic on July 19. She confirmed Friday that he will meet privately with black elected officials, ministers and other community leaders while in South Carolina.

Not all of them were from South Carolina, however, judging from the Georgia andNorth Carolina license plates in the convention center parking lot.

“When Congress reconvenes in September, I will be introducing legislation which takes corporations out of profiteering from running jails”, the independent senator said at a campaign rally in Nevada. “Deez Nuts can get the young people excited!” Each time, he didn’t mention Haley by name but instead referred to South Carolina’s current governor. Despite some corporate media naysaying, Obama’s LA rally was highlighted by the Post as a noteworthy achievement, since 9,000 “is a larger turnout than President Bush usually gets and certainly more than Obama’s rivals in the 2008 campaign are pulling in”.

“The issue I want to be talking about is the collapse of the American middle class. Are you guys going to write about that?”
