NM Bernie Delegate in Philadelphia
Donation protected
Bernie Sanders speaks directly to the current concerns of not only our nation, but all nations and offers remedies on how we can, together, return to a socially responsible America that benefits every person and the planet.
I was born in Ireland. My family emigrated first to Canada then, when I was seven, to the United States. My parents became US citizens within a few years and I was naturalized along with them. The process was straightforward and the country, at that time, welcomed new citizens.
We lived in Massachusetts where my father worked as a machinist for the camera company Polaroid and my mother worked as a homemaker and retail sales person. These were prosperous times when middle class families could own a home and thrive on an average income. For me, going to college was affordable: it was possible to attend school full time, work a part time job, live with other students off-campus and still graduate without student debt nor family support.
These opportunities are no longer available to most Americans, especially young people who likely do not know what conditions used to be and could possibly be again. Rather, most of us have become accustomed to living with burdensome debt, high rents and stagnant wages. We can do better. We deserve better.
As a pledged Delegate for Bernie Sanders at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelpia, I will do my absolute best to make sure Bernie Sanders is our next president by supporting the views he represents for the well-being of us all.
Thanks for your support!
