  1. Election Day should be a national holiday so that everyone has the time and opportunity to vote.

  2. In a democracy the drug companies and the billionaire class should not be able to buy elections.

  3. Enough with cowardly politicians protecting themselves by suppressing the vote. It’s time to ensure that voting remains a right for all.

  4. All across America, people seem to agree on the awesomeness of Burlingtonians. Here's what we can learn from them

  5. In 2016 it is embarrassing that women earn 80% of what men make. I know every man will stand with the women in the fight for pay equity,

  6. Democracy is not when cowardly governors go out of their way to make it difficult for people to vote.

  7. You can refinance your home at 3%. Why in god's name are people paying 10% interest rates on your student debt?

  8. To the drug companies I say: Stop ripping off the American people. And if you don't do it on your own, we will do it for you.

  9. Americans are sick and tired of seeing drug prices soar when the 5 major drug companies made $50 billion in profits last year.

  10. Nobody who works 40 hours a week should be living in poverty. We are going to raise the minim wage to a living wage.

  11. The billionaire class cannot have it all. This country, this government belongs to all of us.

  12. The average price of insulin has gone up by more than 200% in the last 8 years. That type of greed must end.

  13. The prices of insulin and other diabetes medications have skyrocketed. How have price increases impacted you?

  14. I ask that the DOJ and FTC investigate whether pharmaceutical companies manufacturing insulin products have colluded in setting prices.

  15. In fact, Eli Lilly and other companies have been fined in Mexico for colluding on insulin pricing.

  16. Not only have drug corporations raised insulin prices by double digits overnight – often the prices have increased in tandem.

  17. Bernie Sanders wants the feds to investigate these drug companies for possible price collusion

  18. About half the money that has been contributed to the 2016 presidential race has come from just 158 of the wealthiest families in America.
