Sullenberger Urges Americans to Vote for Democrats

Capt. Sully Sullenberger, the pilot who landed U.S. Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River off Manhattan after both engines were disabled by a bird strike, told NBC News that “everyone, everywhere must vote” against Republicans to save our democracy from a president who is not willing or able to change.

Said Sullenberger, a lifelong Republican: “It is my duty… I could not let my silence or civility connote acquiescence.”
