Fun facts

Did you know that Bernie Sanders…

  1. was the first independent to be elected to the House of Representatives in 40 years?
  2. while he was in Congress, wrote a letter directly to President Obama to ask him to raise taxes without going through the Congress?
  3. released a Folk album called “We Shall Overcome” in 1987 with Thirty Vermont Artists?
  4. has a Bernie Sanders-themed arcade video game for his 2006 campaign for Senate election?

    Players pilot a small Sanders character as he flies a plane (fueled with environmentally friendly hydrogen, of course) against a series of obstacles, including the “extreme right wing,” “big money special interests,” “mudslingers,” and, most dangerously, “fat cats.” The “fat cats” are symbolized by actual top-hat-wearing kitties that fling themselves at Sanders’ plane.

  5. “filibustered” for eight hours straight in December 2010?
  6. is the 2015 winner of the online readers’ poll of TIME Person of the Year. Scoring a little over 10% of the votes, Sanders leads the runner-up Malala Yousafzai by about 5%. Despite the popular win, Sanders is NOT included in the short list for 2015 TIME Person of the Year. Instead, TIME has picked Donald Trump as a part of the 8-person shortlist.
