He hasn't had to evolve; he's always fought for respect, dignity and equal rights for all people. In the segretated '60's, he put himself (physically) on the line in the civil rights movement. He has always stood up for LGBTQI Americans, LONG before it recently became politically correct to do so. He stands up for the earth, which has no voice. He stands up for the poor, reminding us that our government is supposed to be by the people and for the people, not by the corporations and for their profit. He stands for children, for college students and for senior citizens. He stands for families--for policies that embody and empower true family values, like maternity and paternity leave, child care, and health care for all. He has always stood up for what is right. He has always seen it. He has always known it. He has always lived it.

Bernie Has Always Lived the Change I Wish to See in the World
Bernie and his campaign move me to tears, in a very good way.

Get the Memo
Memo to everyone in the United States of America:
The constitution of this great country, which is also the main thing that makes this such a great country, is about equal civil rights for all American citizens. The Supreme Court took up the issue of same-sex marriage and ruled that, constitutionally, no matter what one's sexual orientation, every American citizen has the right to marry.

Apparently, the above memo I just issued is necessary, as there are some who are just NOT understanding and/or accepting this reality. If you don't like the constitution, go move to another country which isn't ruled by it. And by "ruled by", I also mean "protected by". See ya later, Chief Justice Roy S. Moore of Alabama. And don't worry: you can always come back to America for a visit, as I'm guessing you are not Muslim.

Memo to Antonin Scalia: "Separate but Equal" = Unconstitutional
Antonin Scalia: "I'm curious, when did it become unconstitutional to exclude homosexual couples from marriage?"
Me: Well, I can't believe I have to inform you on this, since you are a Supreme Court Justice (!!!) and therefore should know the basics of constitutional law, but since clearly you do NOT, allow me to answer your dumb-ass, bigoted question: It became illegal to exclude homosexual couples from marriage the day the constitution became the law of this land.
Do you have any other questions I can answer for you, Antonin?
P.S. Get with it, Antonin. Just because "separate but equal" is state law in some states, doesn't make it CONSTITUTIONAL. Just look at the history of our country: The constitution will trump bigotry, every time. Even when it is euphemistically labeled "separate but equal'
