11. Because Bernie's campaign is in addition to being about the presidency,

a campaign to change the political structure of our politics. It's a political revolution.

Bernie wants more people to vote and is discussing issues that have real impact on people's lives in language they understand.

Read his book, and you will understand why I want Bernie to keep fighting through the convention and beyond.

The TPP is, for example, an issue in opposition to which we need a strong, strong movement.

The trade agreements are just corporate coups. And we need to rewrite or cancel them. They are not compatible with our Constitution or with democracy.

Bernie is the real deal. Read his book.
