American Legion to Bernie Sanders: Stop saying we support you

The American Legion has asked the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders to “cease and desist” from using the organization’s emblem in campaign fliers.

The American Legion wrote to Sanders’ Senate office that it did not have permission to use the emblem in his campaign fliers.

Sanders’ campaign didn’t immediately return a request seeking comment.

The American Legion has twice complained to Sanders officials since Jan. 22 about the use of the emblem in campaign materials. A Feb. 1 letter from the American Legion obtained by The Associated Press warns that “any further communication about it will be through our trademark attorney in the appropriate forum.”

An earlier report in a New Hampshire paper said that Sanders had used the images of pastors and veterans in his fliers.

The Associated Press contributed to this article.

      Amen! But Ian a little disappointed that the American Legion has not been more vocal and supportive of Donald Trump who from day one and still has been the most vocal and supportive of our veterans and really does care and supports letting our Heroes who need help go to their Doctors and Hospitols!
