From Norman Solomon.
The above link goes to a statement that was sent out by RootsAction.org on Sunday (Aug. 2). By the end of the day more than 7,000 people had responded by signing the new petition to Bernie that says:
“Senator Sanders, we are enthusiastic about your presidential campaign’s strong challenge to corporate power and oligarchy. We urge you to speak out about how they are intertwined with militarism and ongoing war. Martin Luther King Jr. denounced what he called ‘the madness of militarism,’ and you should do the same. As you said in your speech to the SCLC, ‘Now is not the time for thinking small.’ Unwillingness to challenge the madness of militarism is thinking small.”
