But the experts were also very wrong. We fought back and we won. We wonand thats what I want to talk about today. We won because you and a zillion other people across this country got in the fight. We won because you got out there. You broke news. You wrote opinion pieces. You organized petitions. You built coalitions. You kept that idea alive. You called out sleazy lobbyists and cowardly politicians. You said wewe the peoplewill have this agency and you are the ones who won. You won this fight.

Get behind Hillary and help Bernie draft his planks in the platform. Liz is really who is needed to unite the party.

I mean the loser of the 2008 primary went on to become mega wealthy and now is gonna get to be President anyway, even if only until they are indited or impeached and we all remember what happened to Bobby Kennedy.
