A political revolution is coming.
It won't need a map, it’s been here before, it’s been everywhere before, it knows what the banksters have done, it knows what the politicians have done, it knows what the CEO's have done, it knows who the war profiteers are, who the hedge fund managers are, who the vulture capitalists are, it knows where those predators live, it knows where they all live, and it’s coming.
It's coming because ignorance is not strength, because corporations are not people, because money is not speech, it's coming because the propaganda of the corporate state never ceases, because the treachery of the bankers never ends, because the greed of the corporations is never sated, because corruption just keeps spreading like a virus through the bloodstream of corporate capitalism.

There is something profoundly wrong when we have seen a proliferation of millionaires and billionaires at the same time as millions of Americans work longer hours for lower wages and we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country on earth. There is something profoundly wrong when one family owns more wealth than the bottom 130 million Americans. This grotesque level of inequality is immoral. It is bad economics. It is unsustainable. This type of rigged economy is not what America is supposed to be about. This has got to change and, as your president, together we will change it.
We gave signing petitions a try, we gave calling our congressmen and senators a try, we gave more and better Democrats a try, we gave waiting for Hillary a try, we gave every one of those dead end roads a try. We've been there, we've done that, we've heard all the excuses, we've heard all the explanations, we've seen all the smoke and we've seen all the mirrors and we've seen how far down the rabbit hole goes.
We the abused, we the exploited, we the betrayed citizens of this ravaged republic will be that political revolution, we will be that storm of economic justice.
The corporate politicians are sailing right into it, but they don’t even see it. The RNC doesn't see it, the DNC doesn't see it, Chuck Schumer doesn't see it, Debbie Wasserman Schultz doesn't see it, Hillary the Inevitable doesn't see it, none of her "opponents" in the "other party" see it, that kind of blindness tends to be a chronic malady when seeing only what you want to see is embraced as a career-enhancing strategy by savvy centrists on their way to the top.
I don’t know when that populist storm is going to hit the Capital, I don‘t know which craven congressmen are going to grab their life-jackets first, I don’t know how high the We the People waves are going to get, but I know one thing, when that storm hits full force, it’s going to be much too big for those centrist sailors and their little boat.
A political revolution.
It's coming.
Because what should be alive is dead, because what should be dead is alive, because what should be set free is bound, because what should be bound is set free, because what should be done is not done, because what should never be done is being done.
By politicians who reward the powerful and punish the powerless, by bankers who regulate Congress instead of Congress regulating them, by police who kill children and call it law enforcement, by hacks who cut-and-paste plutocrat talking points and call it journalism, by judges who fill America's prisons with the poor and call it justice.
They will be held accountable, they will all be held accountable.

It is time to break up the largest financial institutions in the country. Wall Street cannot continue to be an island unto itself, gambling trillions in risky financial instruments while expecting the public to bail it out. If a bank is too big to fail it is too big to exist. We need a banking system which is part of the job creating productive economy, not a handful of huge banks on Wall Street which engage in reckless and illegal activities.
There’s a feeling of empowerment everywhere Americans have gathered to hear Bernie Sanders, a spirit of unity, a spirit of solidarity, a longing for national redemption. This is a campaign of the People, by the People, and for the People, and in the words being spoken and in the truth being told, the voices of every seeker of justice and equality in every land in every age who ever spoke truth to power are being heard.

American democracy is not about billionaires being able to buy candidates and elections. It is not about the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson and other incredibly wealthy individuals spending billions of dollars to elect candidates who will make the rich richer and everyone else poorer. This is not democracy. This is oligarchy.
He's crashing the gates. Because
someone has to. He's telling the truth about the fraud and deceit and corruption infesting this country's economic and political systems, and that truth is resonating across this entire nation. We’re seeing history being made. America is finally awakening after decades in the darkness of apathy and moral cowardice, the light of moral courage is finally shining, it's shining like a beacon everywhere Bernie Sanders campaigns.
