Bernie Sanders Fires Up Connecticut Crowd [View all]

(snip)
He spoke for about an hour to the energetic crowd with only one pause to help direct medical personnel to a person who passed out in the crowd.

Sanders began his speech to the packed Green by ripping the current system and the concentrated wealth.

State Sen. Gary Holder-Winfield spoke at the podium and said campaign finance reform in Connecticut allowed him to run against the New Haven political machine and win. He worked on several prominent issues including abolishing the death penalty in the state and said many people told him he was dreaming when it came to his political goals.

"Dream tonight for a win in Connecticut for Bernie Sanders that they say can't happen."
