Actor Will Ferrell and legendary rock band, The Red
Hot Chili Peppers, are just two of the 128 artists, musicians, and
cultural leaders who endorsed Bernie Sanders for president.
The full list of artists
includes actor Danny Devito, actor/comedian Patton Oswalt,
comedian/actress/writer Sarah Silverman, actor George Wendt, comedian
Margaret Cho, actress Juliette Lewis, actor Jeremy Piven, and actor Mark
Ruffalo.
“As artists and citizens we believe it is time for
government to once again represent the people and not just big money,”
said writer and director Adam McKay, who with Ferrell, co-wrote and
directed the films “Anchorman” and “Step Brothers.” “Bernie Sanders is
the only candidate speaking against the wide spread legalized corruption
that has handed our government to billionaires, large corporations and
banks.”
Several legendary musicians also endorsed
Senator Sanders including David Crosby, Marshall Crenshaw, John Densmore of
The Doors, Blues legend Charlie Musselwhite, Thurston Moore from Sonic
Youth, and Bonnie Raitt.
“Bernie Sanders is a public servant who places
people ahead of profit,” said legendary guitarist Wayne Kramer. “He
understands that, above all, leadership is necessary to move this
country beyond its current retrogressive political condition.”
The entire list is impressive, and it demonstrates
that the Sanders movement is grassroots, but it is attracting the
attention of individuals at all levels of society. Bernie Sanders is
building something special and endorsements today reflect the enthusiasm
that his campaign is generating.
