Highlights from Bernie’s Western Swing
Friday, April 3, 2015
Senator Bernie Sanders was on the road during the first week of the Senate spring recess. His message: that we need to end the obscene level of income and wealth inequality that now exists; that we need to create millions of new jobs rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure; that we need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage; that corporations and the rich need to start paying their fair share of taxes – met with strong support as he spoke to overflow crowds in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Austin and Chicago.
