At an event called Bernie Sanders- The Revolution Continues,
last night, local politicians joined a large group of about 100 people or more,
to continue the vision of Bernie Sanders.
Speakers, at the event, called for redefining the vision of
the campaign. Candidates there pledged to carry on such important issues as
tackling global warming/ standing up to the fossil fuel industry, free college
tuition, raising the minimum wage, and universal health care.
Locally candidates spoke of expanding Medicaid here in Kansas . Susan Osborne, a
candidate for state representative in the Kansas 94th district, endorse the expansion.
"I believe in the US
we would like to get to the point were everyone has health care,"
she said.
She added that this country should follow the example of
European countries and have some kind of universal health care.
Osborne also quoted Sanders when he said a revolution has to
bubble up from the bottom.
"Bernie was very uplifting," Osborne added.
She also said our trickle down economics here in Kansas don't work and
our governor has proven that with his policies.
The crowd watched a tapped message of Bernie broadcasted
live.
Other candidates there last night included Cammie Funston,
for state representative, Dan Giroux for the 4th congressional district, Gabriel
Costilla for the Kansas Senate, 16th district and Stan Reeser, running for
Kansas House 97th district.
Here Stan Reeser, Kansas
House candidate, spoke to the Bernie supporters.
