Bernie was told once not to use the American Legion emblem in his campaign ads, but either he is slow to get the message or he doesn't think rules apply to him. Legion bylaws prohibit endorsing any candidate, yet Sanders used the emblem and another time used a photo of a member.

Maybe Bernie, like Hillary, thinks they are exempt from the rules. The Legion is a non-profit and not allowed to endorse candidates and they wouldn't do it anyway. They are telling Bernie to cease and desist because he had no business doing that. The Legion isn't in trouble since Bernie did this without their knowledge.

Planned Parenthood is also a non-profit and yet openly endorsed Hillary. They should be stripped of their non-profit status immediately for that.


American Legion Asks Bernie Sanders to Stop Using Emblem
 
An article with 17 sentences and little to no information.

I take it you're not a Sanders supporter and didn't get any ads in your mail or you would have seen the emblem and picture. And if you were a Legion member, you would also have heard.

It's not allowed. Period.

Just like PP isn't allowed to endorse a candidate because they are non-profit. They should be in trouble because they endorsed Hillary.

The Legion did not endorse Bernie and he was out of line to use their emblem in his ads.

The Legion has issued a statement regarding this and you can easily google, but I'm sure you'd rather dismiss it. Maybe you are too stupid or lazy to google it and besides, you would rather attack the source anyway instead of actually commenting on it.
