With just two weeks to go before the Iowa caucuses, the super PAC coordinating with Hillary Clinton’s campaign is reportedly launching one of the most desperate and vile attacks imaginable: they are insinuating Bernie is too old and unhealthy to be our next president.
Let me be very clear with you: Bernie is in excellent health. But this personal attack is another example of a sickness in our democracy when it is so easy for millionaires and billionaires to buy up candidates and elections.
We are just three points behind in Iowa, but closing every day. We can’t let super PAC attacks on Bernie’s health and health care plan scare people away from voting for Bernie.
In spite of these Karl Rove-style attacks, Bernie’s going to stay focused on the real issues impacting working families across the country. While he does that, we can make the millionaires and billionaires coordinating with the Clinton campaign pay a price for their attacks.
In solidarity,

Massachusetts voters will go to the polls to choose their party's presidential candidate on March 1, Secretary of State William Galvin announced Thursday.
Based on the current nominating calendar, the March 1 primary would make Massachusetts one of the first states to vote after the traditional early nominating states.
Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada are expected to remain as the four early nominating states, which could hold their presidential caucuses or primaries in February. Massachusetts plans to join several other states in holding a primary on March 1, the first day that both the Democratic and Republican parties are opening up the nominating process to all the states.
Other states that could vote March 1, according to a New York Times tracker, are Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia.
In Massachusetts, unenrolled voters can vote in the primary of either party. Those enrolled in a party can vote only in their party's primary.
On the Democratic side, former secretary of state and first lady Hillary Clinton is the current front-runner, though she has challengers, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley.
The presidential primaries are the way in which delegates are chosen to nominate each party's presidential candidate at a nominating convention. The number of delegates a state has relates to that state's representation in Congress and how that party has performed in the state. So Massachusetts will have more delegates to the Democratic convention than to the Republican convention because it is a Democratic-leaning state.
Massachusetts voters have until Feb. 10 to register to vote in the March 1 election. Typically, Galvin said Massachusetts has its highest levels of voter registration in presidential years. This will also be the first time that voters can register to vote online through the Secretary of State's office.
Voters will also cast ballots at the same time for delegates to party state committees and ward and town committees.
Galvin said he will ask the Legislature to allow cities and towns to move their municipal elections up to March 1, if they choose to do so in order to save money. Municipal elections are generally held in April or May.
