Last weekend,
Bernie gave a rousing speech at the California Democratic Party convention.
He
talked about the fact that there can be no “middle ground” on issues like
climate change, health care, and putting a stop to our endless wars.
We’ve
included a large part of the speech below. But today, what we want to know is
this: what are the issues you care about that there can be no middle ground on?
Here’s
the part of the speech that went viral:
"We have got to make it clear that
when the future of the planet is at stake, there is no “middle ground.” We will
take on the fossil fuel industry and transform our energy system.
We have got to make it clear that when this country drifts toward oligarchy, there is no “middle ground.” Large profitable corporations like Amazon will pay their fair share of taxes.
When it comes to health care, there is no “middle ground.” Health care is a human right, not a privilege and we will guarantee health care to all of our people through a Medicare for All single-payer system.
When it comes to abortion, there is no “middle ground.” A woman has the right to control her own life, not the government.
When it comes to prescription drugs, no “middle ground.” We are going to take on the pharmaceutical industry and cut prescription drug prices in half.
And when it comes to mass shootings and the fact that 40,000 people were killed last year with guns, no “middle ground.” We will take on the NRA.
And when it comes to criminal justice reform and immigration reform, no “middle ground.” We will take on the prison-industrial complex. We will take on racism at the border.
And when it comes to foreign policy, no “middle ground.” We will finally put an end to a bloated military budget and end endless wars."

Take
the short survey. Tell us the issues that you believe there can be no middle
ground on:
This
is important. We’ll make sure Bernie gets the results. So thank you for
sounding off.
All
our best,
