Yesterday Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (D) Graced Atlanta, GA with his presence. The Vermont Senator spoke before a crowd of more than 4,000 people at the famous Fox Theatre. Sanders has been very clear on the many issues that are important to him such as:
- Income inequality
- Tuition Free College
- Suitable Living Wage
- Climate change
- Racial Justice
- Immigration Policy
Sanders was introduced by Atlanta native (Michael Render) aka Killer Mike with a 5 minute Speech seen below:
Sanders was a major advocate of The Dr. Martin Luther King.
“Dr. King saw not only the need to end racism and segregation but to create an economy that works for all Americans,”
The trip to Atlanta was Business as Usual for Sanders. Aside from visiting the King Center and meeting with Dr. Bernice King ( MLK's Daughter) , The senator also had lunch at the historical Busy Bee Cafe located on Martin Luther King Blvd. In Atlanta which made for a Great Photo Op.

Many people in the younger demographic identify with Bernie Sanders on important issues and feel he is a representative of the people and not the Big Donors that typically hijack the election. He has been neck and neck in the polls alongside Hillary Clinton. Many think he will win the Minority vote as well as the young vote, which helped propel President Barack Obama into victory back in 2008.
Sanders continues his southern tour which included a stop in South Carolina and Savannah this past weekend. For more on Bernie Sanders click here. Will you be Voting for Bernie Sanders next year? Let us know your thoughts on the 2016 Presidential Race below.
