SANDERS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT
"After a year of travel, discussion and dialogue, I have decided to be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president," he wrote in the email, highlighting economic inequality, climate change and the Citizens United Supreme Court decisions as key issues spurring him to run.  Sanders first confirmed to the Associated Press in a story published Wednesday that he plans to run for the Democrats' 2016 presidential nomination. 

"People should not underestimate me," Sanders told the associated press.  "I've run outside of the two-party system, defeating Democrats and Republicans, taking on big-money candidates and, you know, I think the message that has resonated in Vermont is a message that can resonate all over this country."

This relates to our class curriculum because it involves primary election and executive branch.

I think that it is a waste of money to put your name on the Democratic Primary Election.  Hillary Clinton is bound to win in almost all cases.
