Orators of Our Time

From Shakesville:  Video and transcript of Senator Bernie Sanders speaking sense to power.  Transcript at Sen. Sanders' own website.

Brief excerpt:

In my view, the President of the United States needs to stand with the vast majority of the American people and say no to the Republican leadership and make it clear that enough is enough. No, we will not balance the budget on the backs of the most vulnerable people in this country--on our children, on our seniors and the sick. No, we will not do that. Working families in this country have already sacrificed enough in terms of lost jobs, lost wages, lost homes, lost pensions. The working families of this country are hurting right now. Enough is enough.

There's a petition to sign as well.
