Elect a real rebel for president
To the Editor:
I consider myself to be a natural-born, modern rebel!
I grew up in a family very proud and humble,to be Southerners. According to my mother I was born rebellious, questioning why I was to do something when told. I still am this way and thankfully so because it causes me to pause, to listen, and to critically analyze new information, experiences, and people.
We, as American citizens, are in dire need of a rebellious leader. There is no other way to change the varied courses of destruction we have been following for longer than I have been alive. We need a leader who has the strength of character to choose to be civil, to be respectful of us as their constituents, and of the peoples of all nations.
There is only one candidate for president of the United States who lives up to this, and his name is Bernie Sanders. His ideas are bold, well thought out, and well explained. His vision is one that I believe in for us, and matches what I was taught, and understand, our great nation to be about. As Thomas Jefferson stated, “What country ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?”
I encourage you to support Bernie Sanders this March 15 in our state’s primary.
