President Bernie:The FIRST step in returning this to a govt that works for the people and not the 1%

They want us to argue about what will get done so we don't even take that first step. Seriously? That is crazy.

1. When Bernie was asked at the last debate a trap question: (paraphrasing) "What would you do first

after winning the White House? Immigration? They didn't get it done last time and that community has waited so long." Bernie responded quickly that Immigration and a whole host of things that Americans want done will never get done as long as our politics are corrupted with campaign donations and Super PACs. The first thing that he would do would be to get rid of Citizens United and have Publicly Funded Elections, than something could be done about Immigration and everything else that cannot get through this Congress.

This is the ROOT PROBLEM that is either causing many of the other problems, or preventing these problems from getting resolved. If we can get average Americans to understand this, we win!
