Sen. Bernie Sanders: If You Are Concerned About Health Care, Iraq, the Economy, Global Warming You Must Be Concerned About Corporate Control of the Media

Tomorrow night President Bush will give his seventh State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress. Last weekend, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders gave what could be described as an alternate State of the Union before thousands gathered in Memphis, Tennessee at the third National Conference for Media Reform.

Sanders is an Independent who was elected to the Senate in November of 2006. He is the country's first self-described socialist to be elected to the U.S. Senate.

Before becoming Senator, Bernie Sanders served in the House of Representatives for 15 years where he was the longest-serving Independent in modern history.
