The American People
The world needs change, and Bernie Sanders is the best man for the job.
Global warming,growing income and wealth inequality across the world, rising international tensions, and the alarming the increase of corporate control over the political processes of sovereign nations. The status quo is unacceptable. The world can be changed if only one powerful nation would lead they way. And perhaps, the United States of America is that nation.
Who better to lead the USA into the new century than Senator Bernie Sanders? Here are some quotes from Sanders, who is more human than he is a politician.
"What we have seen is that while the average person is working longer hours for lower wages, we have seen a huge increase in income and wealth inequality, which is now reaching obscene levels. This is a rigged economy, which works for the rich and the powerful, and is not working for ordinary Americans … You know, this country just does not belong to a handful of billionaires."
The Guardian (April 2015).
"But what I do wake up believing is that this country is facing more serious crises than we have faced since the Great Depression. And if you include the planetary crisis of global warming, the situation today may even be worse. And given that reality, what distresses me enormously is that there is very little discussion about these major crises, and even less discussion about ideas that can resolve these issues. Salon (November 2013).
"So what you have there is obviously [a] horrendous economic situation, but it is very dangerous to our political system. Because big money interests are putting huge amounts of money into the political process through
Citizens United. And these are issues that have got to be addressed, or else in my view the United States will move very rapidly toward an [oligarchy]." Salon (November 2013).
“As the nation at last confronts global warming, it is no time for denial, greed, cynicism or pessimism. It is a time for vision and international leadership. It is a time for transforming our energy system from the polluting and carbon-emitting technologies of the nineteenth century into the unlimited and extraordinary energy possibilities of the twenty-first. When we do that we will not only solve the global warming crisis; we will open up unimaginable opportunities for improving life all over the planet.” (The Nation, December 2007).
Citizens of America,the world is closely watching the upcoming elections. Choose wisely. To quote Sanders once more: "A political revolution is coming".
