Draft Senator Nina Turner for Bernie2020 VP running mate
We would like Move On.org and DFA help us request the Bernie Sanders campaign draft Senator Nina Turner for his VP running mate, and at the same time, petition the Bernie Sanders campaign for a Bernie/Nina 2020 ticket and preferably before the March 17th 2020 primaries.
Why is this important?
This is after South Carolina and Super Tuesday.
Dear Move On,
This is a petition for the Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign and also a petition for Move On, and for Democracy For America.
By June 2015 DFA and Move On had utilized reportedly over a million dollars to draft Elizabeth Warren, when suddenly the attention, the focus and the torch was passed to Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, an Independent, who battled the most progressive battle for the Democratic nomination we have seen in decades came out swinging and rocked the party as no one has ever done, moving the party itself away from the center finally. The establishment did not see it coming and did not know what hit them.
For the 2020 election, attention again shifted to Elizabeth Warren as it did in 2015. This time she would run, and awkwardly enough now against her progressive friend Bernie Sanders. The unfortunate end of Ms. Warren’s campaign caused a huge shift yet again, as Democracy for America shifted their support not to the Establishment candidate, but back to Senator Sanders, who has been fighting for us since 1963. And we Berners thank you immensely and immeasurably. DFA gets it. A large portion of the electorate does not.
Now after South Carolina the most progressive candidate since FDR in 1932, 88 long years ago, he has hit opposition. The billionaires, the corporations, the hospitals, the CEOs, the banks, the health insurance industry, the pharmaceutical industry have all rallied, joined forces, in a Stop Bernie coalition all against one single candidate who would finally break the cycle, and we welcome their hatred. All of the past candidate’s critiques of the oppositions's administration, candidate Joe Biden, have been left behind as they all join in collective show of unity together to stop the progressive movement as they do not understand our movement or the term democratic socialism confusing it with textbook socialism or even communism. An opposition always asking where Bernie is going to get the money after money suddenly is available to bail out the banks and the auto industry, then somehow there is money. The middle class is once again going to get nothing or worse, lose to another four years of Trump. If we shoot for Medicare For All, the worst that can happen is some public option bills in legislative negotiations and concessions. If we shoot for what the opposition is offering, the worst that can happen is nothing changes, and we get told that it is those damn Republicans again that would not let us get anything done. Enough. This time the middle class, the working class, should win.
This petition is for you, Move On and we hope for DFA also.
We are not asking for a million dollars necessarily.
This is to ask you to once again step up for Bernie and help many of us draft a Draft Senator Nina Turner for his VP Running Mate. We can only pray DFA joins you. They have already endorsed him.
The problem we have is the current delegate count and a pandemic that is keeping his strongest weapon, his army of door knockers including me, from getting out the vote and the perception being effectively pushed by the media that it is almost all over for Bernie Sanders.
Bernie has stated before that it is ‘too early’. That was then and things have changed dynamically as they can in these things. We can no longer wait, we need a shockwave to go through the media and having the concept of the first African American VP, first woman VP and first African American woman VP, a progressive declaration that the other campaign cannot match, and should they, only look again like he is being a copycat and people will see right through it. She has been a long time supporter and co chair of his campaign, & will shut down any attempt at calling this some stunt. The time is now.
Senator Nina Turner is the co chair of the Sanders campaign, a staunch and energetic advocate with a passion for Senator Sanders and has been for a long time, her name does not come out of a hat as some tactic, it comes out of not only the clear and evident support at his rallies and long standing friendship with Bernie, and her personality, her character, her way of framing the big picture with such electricity is like being taken to church, while her work for African Americans in her native Ohio and in Washington as a Senator is unquestionable and would bring so much to the campaign including more voters to reconsider the opposition ticket of back to the past. We need to flip this race back on the side of justice, and we believe the opposition campaign cannot compete with this, and any attempt to recreate it will look transparent and the voters will see any form of imitation as not flattery, and not the real thing and perhaps phony.
The vision is the first African American VP in history, the first woman VP in history, the first African American woman VP in history. Now that is progressive.
We would like to petition you and DFA to endorse drafting Senator Nina Turner or Ohio as the running mate of candidate for president of the United States, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. This is to create the most progressive ticket this country has ever witnessed and we would like this to be done before the Tuesday March 17th primaries and voters get the opportunity to vote for this ticket or the choice of the establishment and simply more of the same as we have been assured that candidate Joe Biden informed a gathering of wealthy donors not long ago and again nothing will fundamentally change for the middle class or the rich. We need this ticket now at this point in time, and we need you Move On and DFA, now to reach out to your members and organization as you have the unique place in history and time, and the ability and reach to help us with this. Together we can make history and pick up where FDR and MLK and RFK left off, the war on income inequality. Will you help us?
