I am leaning very hard toward voting for Bernie Sanders in the Illinois primary coming up on March 15th. I started this blog to try to explain why I am going to vote for Senator Sanders and not for Hillary Clinton.
I believe Senator Sanders has the right ideas on how to get our democratic process back from the upper 1% of wage earners in this country. It should be one vote for one person and not the system we have now thanks to Citizen's United where large corporations can donate any amount of money to a politician, thusly buying elections.
Bernie Sanders has no super pak and doesn't not want one. He is depending solely on the support of the middle class, working class and the poor of this country for his only campaign contributions. That is the way it should be.
Unlike Senator Sanders, Hillary Clinton has a Superpak and has taken many millions of dollars worth of contributions from Wall Street and the big banks such as Goldman Saks. How can we trust her to do the will of the people when she clearly is in the pocket of the Wall Street bankers? I don't believe that she can do it. Why would Wall street want to throw millions of dollars at a candidate unless they expected that candidate to lean towards seeing things there way in the future?
Hillary Clinton is the establishment, meaning to me that if she is elected to the presidency, she will do little to change anything from what President Obama has accomplished. Senator Sanders wants total and real change from the status quo and I believe that with the help of the ordinary voting public, he will be able to do just that.
I am an independent voter but I have voted for Democratic candidates for the past 10 years. I am considering registering as a Democrat in the near future.
In the event Hillary Clinton is our nominee, I will definitely support her and vote for her as I know she is much better than any of the Republican candidates running for president.
I would appreciate your input on this blog.
