There are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system but i believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place 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. A nation that defends our people and our values, but no longer carries so much of that burden alone. I know we can create that america if we listen to our conscience and our hearts and not to the pundits and the naysayers. Im Bernie Sanders. I approve this message, he says we should punish women who have abortions. There has to be some form of punishment. That mexicans who come to america are rapists. Theyre rapists. And that we should ban muslims from coming here at all. Total and complete shut down. Donald trump says we can solve americas problems by turning against each other. Its wrong and it goes against everything new york and america stand for. With so much at stake, she
