From Reich's emailer:
I am endorsing Bernie Sanders for President of the United States. He's
leading a movement to reclaim America for the many, not the few. And
such a political mobilization – a "political revolution," as he puts it
-- is the only means by which we can get the nation back from the
moneyed interests that now control so much of our economy and democracy.
This
extraordinary concentration of income, wealth, and political power at
the very top imperils all else -- our economy, our democracy, the
revival of the American middle class, the prospects for the poor and for
people of color, the necessity of slowing and reversing climate change,
and a sensible foreign policy not influenced by the
“military-industrial complex,” as President Dwight Eisenhower once
called it.
It is
the fundamental prerequisite: We have little hope of achieving positive
change on any front unless the American people are once again in control.
I
have the deepest respect and admiration for Hillary Clinton, and if she
wins the Democratic primary I’ll work my heart out to help her become
president. But I believe Bernie Sanders is the agent of change this nation so desperately needs.
Join me and my friends at Democracy for America. Please stand with Bernie Sanders by adding your name now.
Thank you.
Robert Reich
Former Secretary of Labor
