There is only one candidate in the current presidential primary's that is 100 percent pro labor, only one that believes that every worker should be unionized, only one that has a record of voting the working classes best interest every single time, only one that wants to build the middle class, and only one democratic candidate that hasn't sat on the board of Walmart, or taken money and rubbed elbows with all the worst billionaires that would love to destroy the middle class and see our unions busted, and that candidate is Bernie Sanders. Any other vote this primary season is a vote for the status quo of union busting, exported jobs, lowering of wages and corrupt medical, military, education, and banking systems. Do us all a favor and get out on the 15th and vote for Bernie Sanders.
