Let's Get Started from Bernie Sanders

Alan,

Election days come and go, but the struggle for economic, social, racial and environmental justice continues. Together, we built something special and unprecedented through our presidential campaign. Now, we are going to take the next steps for our political revolution.

We are building a new organization called Our Revolution. Our goal will be the same as in our campaign: we must work to transform American society by making our political and economic systems work for all of us, not just the 1 percent.

Can you make a $36 contribution to Our Revolution so that we can continue our critical work to take back our country from the billionaire class? Make your contribution here.

On the very first day of our campaign, I wrote to my supporters and said, "This campaign is not about Bernie Sanders. It's about a grassroots movement of Americans standing up and saying: 'Enough is enough. This country and our government belong to all of us, not just a handful of billionaires.'"

That is as true today as it was then. That is why Our Revolution will focus on three distinct areas of work:

1. Revitalizing American democracy by bringing millions of working people and young people into the political system.
2. Empowering the next generation of progressive leaders by inspiring, recruiting and supporting progressive candidates across the entire spectrum of government - from school board to the U.S. Senate.
3. Doing what the corporate media does not do: elevating political consciousness by educating the public about the most pressing issues confronting our nation and the bold solutions needed to address them.

Together we can revitalize our democracy, empower new progressive leaders, and educate the public about the critical issues facing our country. To get started, I need your help, Alan. Will you join me?

Add a $36 contribution to Our Revolution and be one of the first to join this next phase of our movement.

We have a lot to do together, Alan, and I'm glad you're with me.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders made a mistake in endorsing Hillary Clinton but he did it out of loyalty to his long-time political party which consequently betrayed him. We can't seriously fault him for that, we would just prefer he had not done it.

Nevertheless, he started the grass roots revolution and is one of only two honest candidates in-play: Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein.

We don't have any money but we stand by to observe. We're not interested in the mindless palaver from Clintonistas since it's always the same and shows less imagination than the average biting fly. They're insufferable and maybe worthy of note is Google+ does not seem awash with Clintonistas or Trumpites or political hogwash in general. That doesn't mean I'll go flying off to that one but it definitely seems quite a bit more cosmopolitan than Facebook.
