    Senator McConnell has blocked gun safety legislation, he has blocked legislation to protect pensions, and he has blocked legislation to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Yet he had no issue bringing forth legislation to throw 32 million Americans off their health insurance.

    Sen. Mitch McConnell receives huge campaign contributions from: - Wall Street - Health insurance companies - Drug companies - The fossil fuel industry - The NRA It’s time for McConnell to start listening to working people, not his wealthy campaign contributors.

    Coal miners have seen their pensions cut and benefits slashed. Their communities have been destroyed while fossil fuel CEOs get richer. Here is my promise. A Sanders administration will not abandon communities left behind by the fossil fuel industry — we will rebuild them.

    We stand with the coal miners in Harlan County who aren’t receiving a paycheck. I say to Senator McConnell: Do not turn your back on these communities. Ensure these workers get paid as soon as possible.

    Mitch McConnell: You need to explain to the people of Kentucky why you believe that we should do nothing to stop Russia from interfering with our elections. Stop obstructing legislation to protect our democracy.

    How many more Americans have to die in mass shootings before Senator McConnell has the guts to stand up to the NRA and pass meaningful gun safety legislation?

    Over 500,000 workers in Kentucky make less than $15 an hour. : Why don't they deserve an average raise of $4,300 a year? Stop blocking legislation to raise the current starvation minimum wage to a living wage of $15 an hour.

    I say to Sen. Mitch McConnell: stop worrying about your billionaire friends – they’re doing just fine. Start worrying about the working class who are trying to keep their heads above water.

    Universal health care and tuition-free college aren’t radical. They already exist in other nations. Here’s what’s radical: Allowing giant corporations like Amazon to pay nothing in federal income taxes and giving fossil fuel companies billions in subsidies to destroy the planet.

    I am proud to stand with the 20,000 members who are on strike. AT&T made over $19 billion in profits last year. Executives at AT&T cannot have it all. I call on the management of AT&T to go back to the negotiating table and bargain in good faith with your employees.

    "Medical debt" and "medical bankruptcy" should not exist in the United States of America. Getting sick is not a crime, yet our health care system acts like it is. Every person in this country must be able to get the care they need through Medicare for All regardless of income.

    The Democratic Party under President Roosevelt stood up to the economic royalists of its time. This is the party that stood up to fascism. This is the party that passed civil rights legislation, and Medicare and Medicaid. This is our time for transformative change.
