“Red state, blue state – the people of this country are opposed to an economy that works for the 1 percent and not for working class Americans.” said Sanders. “I’ll be heading to West Virginia and North Carolina to discuss the need for decent paying jobs, health care for all, and the end of a corrupt campaign finance system in which billionaires buy politicians. Together, we can defeat the oligarchs who have taken hold of our country.”
To date, more than 270,000 people have turned out for the cross-America tour, which has hosted 24 rallies across 15 states including Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan, Wisconsin, California, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana.
