Certainly sounds like some people are ready for a political revolution.
[Applause]
Well I grew up in a working-class home in Brooklyn, New York. We lived in a three and a half --
some transplants here, alright -- we grew up in a three and a half room rent controlled apartment
My family never had a lot of money, but I knew from a very early age which side I am on.
[Applause]
I am a proud Progressive. [Applause]
I am proud to stand with the working families of our country, prepared to take on the powerful
special interest, which wield incredible power over our economy and our political life.
That is what I did yesterday. That is what I did 25 years ago. That is what I’ll do tomorrow,
[Applause]
and that is what I will do if elected President of the United States.
[Applause]
Thank you all very much for coming out on a beautiful sunday morning to do something
very very radical.
You ready for radial activity?
[Audience: "Yeah!"]
We’re going to practice democracy! How’s that?
Let me begin by taking off my jacket.
When you talk about the reality that millions of families in this country, where the breadwinner
is making 8, 9 , 10 bucks an hour, can’t afford to feed their families adequately,
Republican budget cut nutrition programs including the program for low income pregnant women
and their babies by many many billions of dollars.
And then to add insult to injury, to tell you really what the priorities are of the
republican party is, after cutting healthcare and education and nutrition, they provided
over 250 billion dollars in tax breaks to the top two-tenths of one percent.
Brothers and sisters, those are not the priorities of the American people, and we will not accept them.
Thank you. What a fantastic turnout. Thank you UNH.
You may not know this, but what you are part of tonight is the largest turnout for any
presidential candidate in New Hampshire. Thank you.
[Applause, chanting]
You know some people say that young people and students are apathetic and they don't
want to get involved. It sounds to me like you are ready to transform America. Thank you.
What do you like about Bernie?
The facts that he’s the best one that will run for president. Until he wins.
He will still be the best when he wins.
