The Sanders Revolution has added form to numerous grass roots groups across the country. It has brought together the young and old. It has high-lighted the common cause of economic and environmental issues.
As I've noted before, the Sanders revolution is not limited to a single political campaign. We are not engaging in the struggle under the direction or rules of the establishment. It appears to upset some old friends here when I say that our movement is taking place upon a much higher level than their political campaign. But that is the simple truth.

They provided an education that one doesn't get in a classroom.)
