CA Gov. Jerry Brown Endorses Hillary For Prez

"An Open Letter to California Democrats and Independents"

5.31.2016

With one week left to go before the primary vote, California governor Jerry Brown has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.

In a letter to California voters Tuesday, Brown lamented that a Hillary Clinton candidacy would be "the only path forward to win the presidency and stop the dangerous candidacy of Donald Trump."

Though Brown appreciated socialist Bernie Sanders' tenacity for vowing to fight against the phantom "one percent," he felt Hillary had made a better case by receiving more votes and earning more delegates.

Ultimately, however, Brown feels Hillary is America's only hope to defeat Donald Trump, whom Brown feels posed the greatest danger against the "existential threat" of climate change:

But there is more at stake than mere numbers. The Republican nominee, Donald Trump, has called climate change a “hoax” and said he will tear up the Paris Climate Agreement. He has promised to deport millions of immigrants and ominously suggested that other countries may need the nuclear bomb. He has also pledged to pack the Supreme Court with only those who please the extreme right.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Our country faces an existential threat from climate change and the spread of nuclear weapons. A new cold war is on the horizon. This is no time for Democrats to keep fighting each other. The general election has already begun. Hillary Clinton, with her long experience, especially as Secretary of State, has a firm grasp of the issues and will be prepared to lead our country on day one.

Hillary Clinton currently leads Sanders by 13-points in the polls leading up to California's democratic primary.

The Freedom Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Therefore we do not endorse political candidates either in primary or general elections. However, as defenders of America’s social contract, we insist that the rules laid down by both parties at the outset of campaigns be respected, and that the results be decided by free elections. We will oppose any attempt to rig the system and deny voters of either party their constitutional right to elect candidates of their choice.
