| Summary, etc.: | Independent United States Senator Bernie Sanders -- with a thirty-five-year career in public service, first as Burlington, Vermont's mayor, then as Vermont's sole representative to Congress, and currently as a United States senator -- is now campaigning to become president of the United States. Sanders' populist message is resonating with Democrats, Republicans, Independents, as well as ordinary working- and middle-class Americans from all walks of life, including millennials, seniors, veterans, immigrants, environmentalists, union workers, and more. In this short book, author Jonathan Tasini draws heavily from Sanders' ample public record of speeches, statements, and interviews, and couples his working-class spirit with specific legislation he has championed on a number of core proposals that comprise a broader people's agenda for America, including a national, single-payer health care system; free public higher education; taking on wealth and income inequality; preserving Social Security; caring for our veterans; ensuring civil rights for all; combatting climate change; reforming Wall Street; and much more. |
