We made a bit of history last night in Madison, Wisconsin.
Ten thousand people showed up at an event of ours — that’s more people who have come together for a presidential campaign event than any other candidate has had in 2015.
This is important.
It’s important because despite what the media would have you think, politics is not a game or a soap opera. Politics is ultimately about people coming together to improve the lives of all Americans, and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors.
And on July 29th, I am asking Americans from across the country to come together for a series of conversations about how we can organize an unprecedented grassroots movement that takes on the greed of Wall Street and the billionaire class.
The truth is that the big money interests, Wall Street, and corporate America have so much power that no president, no matter how great he or she may be, can defeat them unless there is an organized grassroots movement.
They have the money, but we have the people. And if we stand together, there’s nothing we cannot accomplish.
We can provide healthcare to every man, woman, and child as a right.
We can make certain that every person can get all the education they need regardless of income.
We can create millions of jobs by rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges.
We can have the best child care system in the world.
But change will not come without political participation. That's why it's so important that we come together in our communities to organize for the change we want to see in America.
I am more than aware that our opponents will be able to outspend us.
But we are going to win this election.
