Weve got you covered in dunkerton, there are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy. But i believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in pce and look to the american horizon. To a nation where every child can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. Where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. Where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. Where women receive equal pay and a living wage is paid to all. An america where after a lifetime of labor, there is time for rest and grandchildren. But no longer carries so much h that burden alone. I know we can create that america if we listen to our hearts. And d at journey begins here in iowa. Im Bernie Sanders. I approve this message, and i ask you to join with us at the caucuses on monday night. Thank you. One of the areas that ive been particularly interested in is the area of children. We intend to be sure that everybody in this room and every child in this state no matter where theyre born, no matter to whom they are born. I want to make sure that every child has a chance to live up to his or her godgiven potential. Ive spent my life fighting for children, and im nostopping now.
