The Speech by Bernie Sanders
The historic filibuster that now-Presidential-candidate Bernie Sanders delivered on the Senate floor in 2010- denouncing income inequality, corporate greed, and tax cuts for the wealthy- now with an updated introduction that illustrates how the speech set Sanders on a course for the White House.
"Bernie Sanders is such a rarity, and people should appreciate what he's doing not just for his home state of Vermont, but for the reputation of all politicians in general" --Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone "A rare oratorical tour de force." --U.S. News and World Report "A progressive hero." --Washington Post "I endorse Brother Bernie Sanders because he is a long-distance runner with integrity in the struggle for justice for over 50 years."--Cornel West "Bernie Sanders has a proven track record of uncompromised activism and advocacy for working people, and a message that resonates with nurses, and, as we have all seen, tens of thousands of people across the country"--NNU Executive Director RoseAnn DeMoro "Bernie Sanders is the only remotely reasonable candidate for president of the United States"--Flea (The Red Hot Chili Peppers) "I feel weird using words like values, and morals, because those are words that have been coopted by people who wear them as shrouds to justify terrible things... I'd like to take those words back tonight and use them to describe Bernie Sanders, because his moral compass and sense of values inspires me. He always seems to be on the right side of history."--Sarah Silverman "However you may vote, Bernie Sanders is pretty great. He doesn't pander, is consistent and clear on important issues."--Mia Farrow
