Sanders: America’s New Year’s Resolution Is To Say “Enough Is Enough”

"In a few hours we’re going to be in 2016,” Sanders said, before hundreds of supporters who paid a small fee for hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar with a two-drink-at-one-time limit, and Sanders. “And we together have an opportunity to make 2016 a year that history will long remember.”

That new year, should Sanders win the nomination, would be the first step toward ending “the disgrace of the United States having more people in jail than any other country.”

“We are going to reform a very broken criminal justice system and end institutional racism in America,” Sanders said.

“We’re not going to continue to destroy our planet,” he added. “We are going to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy.”

“What this campaign is about is understanding that no president, not Bernie Sanders not anybody else can solve this nation’s problems unless — unless — millions of people, Iowa and across this country begin to stand up and say loudly and clearly: Enough is Enough. Thank you.”

Senator Tweets Every Mass Shooting In America From Past Year-He calls it his "2015 year in review"

Every Mass Shooting in 2015

In 2015 there were 372 mass shootings - incidents where four or more people where shot, including the shooter. I went through each and every one of them on shootingtracker.com, and tweeted out the stories. In the face of this carnage, there is no excuse for our inaction.

............

On Thursday afternoon, Murphy began tweeting out every injury and death from every mass shooting over the past year, as compiled by Shooting Tracker in conjunction with the Gun Violence Archive. Shooting Tracker defines a mass shooting as any event where at least four people are shot, not necessarily killed.


Here’s my 2015 year in review.
Quite amazing - from a US Senator:
