Decades of scientific research has proven that carbon pollution is harmful to human health and causes global warming.

Budgets are nothing if not statements of priorities.

That's a question best put to Bernie Sanders himself, but I think that he will probably put forward ideas that are related to the corrupting role of Citizens United and Buckley versus Valeo court decisions and the need to restore a by-and-for-the-people republic envisioned in our Constitution instead of the of-, by- and for-the-most-powerful system that we have right now.

Imagine if Congress always put the interests of polluters ahead of the health of our families. Our rivers and lakes would be choked with sewage. Acid rain would pour down from smog-filled skies. Hundreds of thousands more of our neighbors, friends, and loved ones would be victims of cancer, heart disease, and asthma.

What [Bernie] Sanders has done is he's focused the nation on the fact that these things are not inevitable. They are the result of policies. We can do better to create an economy that works well for working Americans.

For too long, tricks and traps in mortgages, credit cards, and other financial transactions have stripped wealth from working families.

I wont stop fighting to make life better for working Americans and give those who are just trying to find a decent job the opportunity to do so.
