Bernie Sanders is a sitting U. S. Senator and a leading candidate in the presidential campaign of 2016. He is a viable candidate with popular support and is a human being in a vibrant (to be polite) political climate. He travels widely and often, and it is clear his campaign will continue throughout the election cycle. In 2007, at a similar stage in that campaign, Barack Obama was given Secret Service protection by George W. Bush, and he had not experienced disturbances yet. While President Obama was attracting similar crowds, few were over 15,000 regularly, which Senator Sanders experiences. This situation must not be allowed to continue a moment longer. Bernie Sanders must have immediate Secret Service protection, just as the other leading candidate does.
