Not me. Us.
“ We must take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry.” “ In my view, the best way to address the issue of climate change is to create millions of good-paying jobs.” “ We need to make public colleges and universities tuition-free.” “ The American people are tired of the status quo.” “ The one thing that we can’t do is allow the corporate elite to control our government.” “ We are going to create an economy that works for all of us.” “ A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much, and so many have so little.” “ We need to create a government that works for all of us, not just the wealthy.” “ It is time for us to stand up and fight back.” “ Healthcare is a human right.” “ The future of our planet is at stake.” “ We must create a government that works for all of us, not just the 1%.” “ The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” “ The one thing that we can’t do is give up.” “ It’s time to start thinking big.” “ We must create a government that works for all of us.” “ We need to make sure that every person in this country has health care as a right.” “ It is time to stand up and fight back.” |
