The American people are tired of billionaires making huge campaign contributions.
Bernie Sanders
The Public Record
Bernie Sanders is an American politician and activist who has served as the junior United States senator from Vermont since 2007. A member of the Independent party, Sanders is known for his progressive policies and advocacy for social justice, healthcare reform, and income equality. He previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1991 to 2007, where he was the first independent elected to the House in 40 years. Throughout his career, Sanders has been a vocal critic of economic inequality and corporate influence in politics.
It's to undercount of Latinos so that they can create congressional districts which will not be Democratic, and also make sure that the funding does not go to those under served and often minority communities. I think everyone understands…
As Martin Luther King reminded us, it's socialism for the very rich, and unfettered individualism for the poor.
In fact, people like Donald Trump are also socialists, except they are corporate socialists.
What I am saying, picking up from Roosevelt, that in the wealthiest country in the history of the world now is the time to finally state that economic rights are human rights.
I certainly think that the American people need to understand what this president has done, his contempt for the law.
I think we have a president who neither understands the Constitution of the United States or respects the Constitution, somebody that does not believe in the separation of powers and somebody who thinks he's above the law.
It is my very strong belief that the United States must reject that path of hatred and divisiveness, and instead find the moral conviction to choose a different path, a higher path, and a path of compassion, justice and love.
Trump has been very, very provocative towards Iran. He's trying to egg them on.
I don't think we should be investigating the investigators. I think that's an effort on the part of Trump to deflect attention from the problems that his campaign had.
What we need to do is to figure out a way that we develop a trade policy, which is fair for American workers.
We have picked sides and we have gone with the dictatorship and the brutal regime in Saudi Arabia.
I think that we have got to do everything that we can to see that we do not get involved in a war in Iran.
No war with Iran. This would be an unmitigated disaster. We must stop Trump and his national security adviser John Bolton, someone who likes endless wars.
let me thank Senator Lee and Senator Chris Murphy for their outstanding and consistent leadership on this issue. At a time when the country bemoans the fact that there is not a lot of bipartisanship, this effort indicates that people with…
I do feel indignation and anger against a president who told the American people -- you remember this -- he would provide health care to everybody and yet he worked overtime to try to throw 32 million Americans off of the health care that…
I think what we need to do with all of the candidates, have an issue-oriented campaign, not personal attacks, but talk about what we have done in our political lives, what we want to do as president, and how we're going to transform our…
While the rich get much richer, while corporate profits are soaring, you are seeing tens of millions of workers struggling to make ends meet.
Don't think you're going to get a contract if you layoff, shut down plant and layoff American workers.
We need new trade policies which protect the interests of American workers and not just the CEOs of large corporations.
We need a president who brings people together as Americans, not tries to divide them up.
I don't want a summary of the Mueller report. I want the whole damn report.
I strongly oppose this amendment. This amendment provides an exception to this resolution in support of efforts to defend against threats to civilian population centers in coalition countries, including locations where citizens and…
I ask unanimous consent that Mike Lawliss from my office be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the day on S.J. Res. 7. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
let me begin by thanking Senator Mike Lee and Senator Chris Murphy for their hard work on this important resolution--work which, in fact, has gone on now for several years. Today is an extremely important day. Today we in the Senate have…
