Before yesterday, I was not aware that Senator Sanders's father was a Holocaust survivor. Before yesterday, I was not aware that Senator Sanders was one of the founders of the Student Non-violent movement in Chicago to help end racial discriminatory housing. I was not aware that at an age younger than mine, both of Senator Sander's parents were dead and out of his life.

I was moved to hear him tell this vast and powerful story yesterday. He didn't tell anyone those stories for years because the gain he would have gotten from them isn't what any of them are about, it's about doing what's right.

I said at the beginning of this cycle that I was going to wait for endorsements. I said that I would wait until at least the first debate before I stuck my neck out for anyone. I changed my mind.

I changed my mind because whether or not it was black school children in Chicago, the LGTB community in the 70's, the folks suffering under Aparthied, Jesse Jackson, the soldiers returning home from Iraq with a joke of a VA, every American without health coverage, Amazon workers, Disney workers, workers in general, Senator Sanders has had his neck out his entire life, and I am happy to support him.

Now keep in mind, I will still be meeting with Presidential candidates, I will keep my support to only positive, and even if h doesn't win, I will vote for whoever the nominee is, but in the mean time, I will be voting for, and do hereby endorse, Senator Sanders for President of the United States.
