After sitting in on the U.S. Supreme Court’s oral arguments for a major campaign finance case Tuesday morning, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) stood outside the court and railed against the influence of super PACs in American politics.
Next week, however, Sanders plans to join forces with a Democratic super PAC for a three-day, four-state tour of the southern United States. Organized by South Forward, Sanders’ “Fight for Economic Justice Town Hall Meetings,” will take him to Jackson, Miss., Birmingham, Ala., Atlanta, Ga., and Columbia, S.C.
“It’s just a great opportunity and the response has been overwhelming,” says South Forward executive director Jay Parmley, who says he expects between 150 and 200 people to attend each of Sanders’ town hall meetings. “I think he’ll be able to provide a shot in the arm for progressives and a shot in the arm for Democrats.”
