Over the last three years what
Our Revolution has done, what grassroots politics has done is transform the
political life of this country. Do not minimize, do not take for granted the
enormous progress we have already made.
Issue after issue that we have
focused on, the majority of the American people now support us and we’re seeing
concrete action to implement those policies. Needless to say, we have a very,
very, very long way to go and what Our Revolution knows is that, at the end of
the day, if we’re going to bring about the kind of transformative change this
country needs, we have got take on Wall Street and their greed and corruption.
We’ve got to take on the
pharmaceutical industry, the military industrial complex, the prison industrial
complex, the fossil fuel industry. These people have unlimited amounts of
money.
They have incredible power
over our political and economic systems. But what I believe, and I know all of
you believe is that while the 1% have incredible power today. At the end of the
day, they are just 1%.
And what Our Revolution is
about is organizing the other 99%, getting people, working people, young
people, involved in the political process. Getting people to run for school
board, city council, US Congress, whatever the position may be. Making people
understand that they should not be intimidated away from running for office.
They should go out and educate and organize.
Brothers and sisters, the
future of our country is at stake. The future of the planet is at stake. Let’s
get out — let’s educate. Let’s organize. Let’s transform this country.
