Sanders: America’s New Year’s Resolution Is To Say “Enough Is Enough”



"In a few hours we’re going to be in 2016,” Sanders said, before hundreds of supporters who paid a small fee for hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar with a two-drink-at-one-time limit, and Sanders. “And we together have an opportunity to make 2016 a year that history will long remember.”

That new year, should Sanders win the nomination, would be the first step toward ending “the disgrace of the United States having more people in jail than any other country.”

“We are going to reform a very broken criminal justice system and end institutional racism in America,” Sanders said.

“We’re not going to continue to destroy our planet,” he added. “We are going to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy.”

“What this campaign is about is understanding that no president, not Bernie Sanders not anybody else can solve this nation’s problems unless — unless — millions of people, Iowa and across this country begin to stand up and say loudly and clearly: Enough is Enough. Thank you.”
