The Essential Bernie Sanders and His Vision for America

<p>Meet the <em>essential</em> Bernie Sanders―an authentic and uncompromising champion of the people.</p> <p>Independent United States Senator Bernie Sanders―with a thirty-five-year career in public service, first as Burlington, Vermont’s mayor, then as Vermont’s sole representative to Congress, and currently as a United States senator―is now campaigning to become president of the United States. His goal is to build a movement to take back our country from the rich and powerful, and return it to its rightful owners―we, the American people.</p> <p>Sanders’ common sense, populist message is resonating with Democrats, Republicans, independents, as well as ordinary working- and middle-class Americans from all walks of life, including millennials, seniors, veterans, immigrants, environmentalists, union workers, and more.</p> <p>In this short, accessible book, author Jonathan Tasini draws heavily from Sanders’ ample public record of speeches, statements, and interviews, and couples his working-class spirit with specific legislation he has championed on a number of core proposals that comprise a broader people’s agenda for America, including:</p> <ul> <li>A national, single-payer health care system;</li> <li>Free public higher education;</li> <li>Taking on wealth and income inequality;</li> <li>Preserving Social Security;</li> <li>Caring for our veterans;</li> <li>Ensuring civil rights for all;</li> <li>Combatting climate change;</li> <li>Reforming Wall Street, and much more.</li> </ul> <p><em>The Essential Bernie Sanders and His Vision for America</em> is a must-read for anyone who shares a vision for a forward-looking, sustainable, and more just United States of America, and is eager to change the course of history.</p>
