After asking people to vote for whom he should vote as a super-delegate.
Claims that 400,000 people voted and the results were 86% Sanders, 14% Clinton.
His statement:
"I hereby endorse Bernie Sanders to be our Democratic nominee for President of the United States. I will vote for him as a Super-delegate at the Democratic National Convention. And I enthusiastically join, shoulder to shoulder, his political revolution.
Perhaps inspired by the Bernie Sanders message of “Not me. Us.”, for the past several days, I have appealed to Democrats across the nation to tell me for whom I should vote, as a Super-delegate at the Democratic National Convention. The response has been absolutely overwhelming. Almost 400,000 Democrats voted at GraysonPrimary.com. More than the number who voted in the South Carolina primary. More than the number who voted in the New Hampshire primary and the Nevada caucus combined.
The results: Sanders 86%, Clinton 14%. More than just a landslide. An earthquake."
They never intended to give Sanders a chance. He was just somebody willing to step up and make it look like there was a choice. I am glad to see him doing so well and now if they would just put Hillary in jail.......
"On Friday, former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich announced his support for Sanders, writing that the senator is “leading a movement to reclaim America for the many, not the few. And such a political mobilization—a ‘political revolution,’ as he puts it—is the only means by which we can get the nation back from the moneyed interests that now control so much of our economy and democracy.”
Two days after Reich made his announcement, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, endorsed Sanders.
The announcement by Gabbard was particularly dramatic, in that the congresswoman stated on national television that she would quit a party leadership post in order to free herself to campaign for Sanders."
Alan Grayson, once again, shows why he has so many progressives respect. This is a guy who uses Republican style tactics on Republicans (which is to say he is a mud slinger, just like the GOP)
Great choice Alan!
