Bernie also pointed out that we have been winning on issue after issue. We need to give ourselves more credit. We elected and re-elected a black man, and there are now more and more women in Congress. Conservative states are allowing gay marriage. It's on the economic front that we are losing. Bernie believes that if we can stand together, we can defeat the billionaire class. He acknowledges it won't be easy: change never is.

I think that Obama's election shows the country is ready for bold leadership. Now we need someone who will follow through.

Bernie Sanders: We Can Win!

Everyone I spoke to who had heard Bernie speak over the three days was impressed and said they agreed with everything he said. The found him refreshing and authentic. They said he gave them hope that the problems they were beginning to think were unsolvable can be solved.

He is clearly a champion for working people and not afraid to take on the rich and powerful. I hope America is ready to stand and fight with him. I had a chance to ask Bernie what his supporters at RSN could do to help. He wants people who are ready to stand with him to call his campaign and let him know what they can do to help. "Friends of Bernie Sanders" is the campaign arm for Bernie. The website is www.bernie.org. Here is Bernie talking to RSN:

Bernie Sanders Speaks to RSN:

*Scott Galindez attended Syracuse University, where he first became politically active. The writings of El Salvador's slain archbishop Oscar Romero and the on-campus South Africa divestment movement converted him from a Reagan supporter to an activist for Peace and Justice. Over the years he has been influenced by the likes of Philip Berrigan, William Thomas, Mitch Snyder, Don White, Lisa Fithian, and Paul Wellstone. Scott met Marc Ash while organizing counterinaugural events after George W. Bush's first stolen election. Scott will be spending a year covering the presidential election from Iowa.
