Editor,

Saturday, March 26 is caucus day for Washington state voters. If you want to avoid the long lines go to www.demcaucus.com/register to preregister. Be sure to print the form and take it to your caucus. The form also tells you where to go for your precinct location.

I am 72, Jewish, a socialist born in Brooklyn, and both my parents were immigrants from Poland. My background is very similar to Bernie’s heritage.

It’s not just these demographics that make me feel the Bern. In one of the town halls,  CNN moderator Anderson Cooper asked Bernie if he is hiding behind his Jewishness.

He answered he is proud to be a Jew. He added how Judaism has guided him to do unto others what you would like them to do unto you.

He responded to another question from a Flint grandmother who was grief-stricken about her grandchildren being poisoned by lead in the city’s drinking water.

Bernie responded by saying, and I am paraphrasing, I wish we lived in a world where you knew that I would care for your grandchildren and you would care for mine. It takes enormous courage to stand up to the ruling elite and be consistent for his entire political career.

Please go to berniesanders.com to find out more about what he stands for.
