11. He knows exactly what the truth is... Pollution, democracy, poverty, the Commons. Also tells truth

about Tea Party and Bundy and the 'nostalgia for the plantation economy...'

'Big government is a threat... but the bigger threat is corporate power.' And he calls out 'the Koches,' 'the carbon cronies...' and that 'they don't want a black man in the White House.'

His voice is weak, but his words are strong...

And when we went out into the streets, 20 million strong, 10% of the population, that is when change took place. And the work of generations is not over with yet.

Thanks for this series of videos!
