Oneonta Citizens Organize
In Bernie Sanders’ Support
ONEONTA – A citizens group, Oneonta For Bernie Sanders, has formed in support of the U.S. Senator from Vermont who is running for the Democratic nomination for President.
Last Wednesday at Elks Club, 25 residents of Otsego, Delaware, and Chenango counties met to watch to a livestream of a Sanders rally in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The group, ranging in age from 4 to 82, shared personal reasons for supporting Sanders, including a concern about increasing economic inequality, a desire to help students with college debt, and a general belief that Sanders is an honest candidate who will work to increase opportunities for ordinary people.
In the livestr4eam, Sanders declared “enough is enough” to economic inequality, the role of big money in financing politics, and providing a path to citizenship for immigrants.
The group has set up a Facebook page, Oneonta for Bernie Sanders, to keep people apprised of local events in support of the candidate.
