Hillary Clinton’s campaign is funded by Wall Street bankers. Bernie Sanders is supported by hundreds of thousands of the ordinary Americans he stands for. The United States does not need our very own Margaret Thatcher or another Ronald Reagan. We desperately need a government that stands for the people of our great nation, not one in the pockets of special interests.

Bernie fights for the universal American values of justice, integrity and the freedom to live in dignity and security. His vision is one that the founders of our country would recognize, a vision not confined to the polemics of party politics but responsive to the needs of all Americans. We need a president who will stand and fight for what we stand for as a country. Bernie Sanders is that man.

Go to www.govotecolorado.com to register as a Democrat by Jan. 1. You must be registered as a Democrat by Jan. 1 in order to attend your precinct caucus on March 1. You can always change your party affiliation again afterwards.

Let’s get Bernie on the ballot. Let’s take back the power for the people!
