I would spoil the announcement in the title line, but really, we all should have known. A man such as this truly deserves such awards, but why isn’t this headline news? Well, there are many reasons being supplied by many outlets, his Socialist affiliation, his lack of Big Money backing, his weird hair. The fact is that he is drawing bigger crowds than Hillary Clinton, and has a stronger, actually Liberal track record.
In my personal opinion, Bernie Sanders stands for Americans, from informed, chosen, conception to dignified end of life. He doesn’t balk at caring for the children that pro-lifers claim to see as such miracles until they are born and need food, nor the pregnant women they seem to label “breeding vessels” without choice.
Unlike many on the left, and most on the right, he also doesn’t balk at caring for our soldiers after they sacrifice for their country. As recently as last year Bernie pushed a huge bill to care for Veterans, but as we know there is a bottle neck caused by the refusal of nearly the entire Right wing to allow any forward motion under this president.
The man who marched with Martin Luther King and won’t compromise his values for money has finally come to run for POTUS: Are we ready for a genuinely for the people politician? Are we ready for a record that can be relied on?
Apparently the VFW isn’t shy about giving credit where credit is due, even if some Americans aren’t quite ready for Bernie Sanders.
Just remember folks, nearly 8 years ago the world was sure that Americans weren’t grown up enough to elect a man to office because of the color of his skin - thank everything worth thanking they were wrong.
PLEASE NOTE: If You Only News as an organization does not officially endorse any particular candidate for president.

Honesty gets in the way but the truth would be better. Bernie worked in college on the civil rights along with millions of other college students. Yes Bernie marched to DC with 250,000 others but Bernie like others never personally met Dr. King. Bernie like so many other young men protested the Vietnam war and guys look to find a way out of the Draft. College Deferments were used and some guys got married to lower their lottery number. Many guys that graduated looked for anyway to get out of going to Vietnam and Jewish guys went to Kibbutz to continue studies to avoid the Draft. Now many who marched during that time made minority friends for life and others moved on. Hillary was one of those who made minority friends and stayed friends over this 51 years. Yes a generation that fought together and many stayed friends. Janet Hill a college classmate of Hillary often speaks of their long friendship since college and work on the civil rights. The passed can’t be changed but people will try. Oh Janet Hill is the Mother of famous basketball player Grant Hill.
The past is not changed, and simply put - he marched with Martin Luther King. I suppose that anyone else that was in the marches that MLK attended can claim marching with him, but in this case because he didn’t actually hang out with MLK, only supported the movement and was physically in the marches which is the point of the mention in the story, you feel it was dishonest to say. Nice try, but the fact is that Bernie Sanders continued to support equality and the move for equal civil rights throughout his career also, so much for faking it to keep out of the draft. Your cynisim is probably very good at keeping you from understanding that a mans track record of STAYING CONSISTENT IN HIS JOB AS A POLITICIAN far outweighs Hillary’s social connections.
Was Hillary also working on civil rights when she was a Young Republican campaigning for Barry Goldwater, who was against the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
