Sanders: People Should Fight Back and Tell Congress to Move Progressive Agenda

SANDERS: "And for start, if I become president, it will mean that there will be a significant increase in the voter turnout. In every caucus and primary that we have won, we have won nine so far, and we think that we have a chance to win here in Ohio. In every instance including Michigan last week the turnout was great. So what we are doing is to create large voter turnouts, and if there is a large voter turnout, there is no doubt in my mind that the Democrats will recover the United States Senate and gain significant seats in the house. All right. That is number one. Number two, and maybe more importantly the whole premise of my campaign and you are saying, how do we get things done really. The premise and essence of my campaign is the belief which I know to be true, because I work in Washington, D.C., that most of the members of Congress feel themselves indebted to their large campaign contributors rather than to the people they the represent. On all of the issues that I am fighting for, raising the minimum wage, health care for all, making public colleges and universities tuition free, and pay equity for women, and dealing with the climate change, and -- while we don't talk about it enough, climate change, and that is what the Americans want, but you have Republicans moving in the opposite direction. What I have said over and over again, no president, not Bernie Sanders or anybody else can do it alone. Wall Street is too powerful. Corporate America is too powerful, and large campaign contributor, and the only way that we really transform in country is the history of the worker's movement and unions and the history of the civil rights movement, and the history of the women's movement, and the history of the gay movement is when people stand up by the millions and fight back and tell Congress that they have to represent all of us and not just the 1%. We do that, and we will have a progressive agenda."
