Press release:
Sanders and Perez Announce “Come Together and Fight Back” Tour
Senator Bernie Sanders, DNC Chair Tom Perez and other Democratic Party leaders will be traveling to nine “red” and “purple” states starting on April 17th. Along with local activists they are tentatively scheduled to hold rallies in Maine, Kentucky, Florida, Nebraska, Utah, Montana, Arizona and Nevada. More information will be released in the coming days. The purpose of their trip is to begin the process of creating a Democratic Party which is strong and active in all 50 states, and a party which focuses on grassroots activism and the needs of working families.
Sanders and Perez stated: “At a time of massive income and wealth inequality and a shrinking middle class, we need a government which represents all Americans, not just Wall Street, multi-national corporations and the top 1 percent. Regardless of where they live or their political affiliations, most people understand that it is absurd for Republicans in Congress to support huge tax breaks for billionaires while pushing for cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. They understand that the recent Republican health care proposal which would have thrown 24 million Americans off of their health insurance, substantially raised premiums for older workers and defunded Planned Parenthood while, at the same time, providing almost $300 billion in tax breaks to the top 2 percent is a disgraceful idea.”
Sanders and Perez will speak out for raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, pay equity for women, rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, combatting climate change, making public colleges and universities tuition-free, criminal justice reform, comprehensive immigration reform and tax reform which demands that the wealthy and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes.

Even Bernie admits that he’s not a Democrat. Why do all of the Bernie supporters seem to feel as though they’re entitled to chart the direction of a party that their leader doesn’t even belong to?
why did the national democratic party refuse to support our candidate for congress in kansas a bernie sanders supporter and funding the clintonista candidate in georgia. answer the donor class doesn’t like sanders or his supporters. we are part of the party too! the minorities agree with sanders ;but voted for clinton as the safe choice (they thought) to protect themselves from the republican party. how did that work out. sanders wing is democratic partys future along with the minorities. clinton is the past. clintonistas stop destroying the democratic party by turning young off! who would show up in mesa if perez hadn’t dragged bernie sanders along. a few old clintonistas maybe.
Anyone from Tucson going to the event in Mesa? If so I would love to tag along.
Please consider allowing me to join you. THANKS
