We must stop the US from going to war with Iran We need to take a more even-handed approach to the Middle East, and not simply support one side against another in a regional conflict. The US is strong enough to deal with these issues diplomatically, working with allies around the world, and that is what we should be doing. We must not fight another unnecessary war.

Disparity between the rich and poor Why, in the last 30 years, has there been a massive transfer of wealth from the working families of this country to the very rich, with the top 1% seeing its wealth increase by $21 trillion while the bottom half saw a $900 billion decline in its wealth?

A Call for a 21st Century Bill of Rights Bernie Sanders delivered a major address about the historic role of democratic socialism in America's battles to defeat oligarchy and right-wing nationalism. Just as Franklin Roosevelt's democratic socialist program helped defeat rising authoritarianism in the aftermath of the Great Depression, Sanders called on America to reject Donald Trump's xenophobic and authoritarian policies

I Know Where I Came From. Does President Trump? We are the wealthiest nation in the history of the world and, according to President Trump, the economy is "booming." Yet most Americans have little or no savings and live paycheck to paycheck. I am running for president because we must defeat Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in the modern history of our country.

Banks have been ripping off Americans for too long. I have a plan to end it Today's modern-day loan sharks are no longer lurking on street corners breaking kneecaps to collect their payments. They wear Armani suits and work on Wall Street, where they make obscene compensation packages and head financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America and American Express.

This problem is a GLOBAL problem One of the great crises facing the global community today is that democracy, the right of ordinary people to control their own lives, is on the defensive while authoritarianism is growing stronger. And at its root is the fact that a handful of incredibly wealthy people are exerting enormous economic and political power over the planet.

I'll fight for farmers against powerful agribusiness The desperation felt by families in rural communities is about basic economic rights and freedom. Farmers have been systematically stripped of their ability to control their own futures and no longer know whether their hard work will earn them future success and stability. Storefronts are empty and farmers have been forced to sell their land that has been kept in families for generations to massive corporations.

Chicago -- An Extraordinary Time In My Life As someone who came from a working class family, Chicago provided me, for the first time in my life, the opportunity to put two and two together in understanding how the real world worked. To understand what power was about in this country and who the people were who had that power. To learn about racism and poverty and other social ills.

It's time to complete the revolution we started The only way we will defeat Donald Trump and the special interests that support him is with a grassroots movement, the likes of which has never been seen in American history. We must stand together women and men, black, white, Latino, Native American, Asian American, gay and straight, young and old, native born and immigrant to address the challenges we face as a nation. It is time to defeat Trump, complete that revolution.

Bernie Sanders New Years Message It goes without saying that 2019 will be a pivotal and momentous time for our country and the entire planet. As you know, there is a monumental clash now taking place between two very different political visions. Not to get you too nervous, but the future of our country and the world is dependent upon which side wins that struggle.

If I Run Our ideas will lift people out of poverty, they will guarantee health care as a right for every man, woman and child, and they will make certain that every person in this country with the ability and the desire can get the education they need, regardless of the income of their family. Ours is not a radical agenda. It's the agenda the American people want.

Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) called on Senate leadership not to include S. 720, the "Israel Anti-Boycott Act."

Democrats Need a Bold Agenda It is not good enough for Democrats to just be the anti-Trump party. If they want to keep and expand their majority in the House, take back the Senate and win the White House, Democrats must show the American people that they will aggressively stand up and fight for the working families of this country -- black, white, Latino, Asian American or Native American, men and women, gay or straight.

America's wealthiest family owns Walmart. They can afford to pay workers $15 an hour. The major economic crisis facing this country is that at a time of massive income and wealth inequality, tens of millions of Americans are working for wages that are so low that they are barely surviving. All over this country, people are forced to work two or three jobs to support their families as the cost of healthcare, housing, childcare, and prescription drugs continues to rise.

This country is in the midst of a political revolution Trump is going to try to divide us in this final week before the election. He is going to try to pit us against each other by race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status and however he can do it. If he can divide us up, right-wing Republicans and the big-money interests will win.

We Must Stop Helping Saudi Arabia in Yemen The likely assassination of the Saudi critic and Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi underscores how urgent it has become for the United States to redefine our relationship with Saudi Arabia, and to show that the Saudis do not have a blank check to continue violating human rights.
