I’m not going anywhere. Money is not what determines one’s value and it’s not what should determine the legitimacy of one’s political campaign. Until we stand up to that system, we won’t be able to change the country. So let’s stand. Marianne2020.com

There are 93 million people living near poverty; 13 million hungry children; 100,000 homeless children; and millions of people having to work 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet. The difficult case to make is calling that a "good" economy.

We’ve been warned about the perils of climate change, but govt and business resistance to appropriate action has left us deeply imperiled. Let’s pray for Australia now, and deepen our commitment to WW2 level mass mobilization to reverse climate change over the next seven years.

On campaign stops I ask for a show of hands if someone’s heard young people say they’re not gonna have kids cuz they don’t see how they can make it happen given the economy, environment etc. Several always do. Such hopelessness should not exist in the richest country in the world

Think of where you work. Now think of what it would be like if there was a pattern of mass shootings at such a place.Think of what how that would affect you emotionally and psychologically every day you went to work. Then imagine what that would feel like if you were 12 years old

If we want a peaceful and prosperous world, there’s really only one way to achieve it. That’s to unleash the spirit of people, to uncap their dreams. That’s why we should have universal healthcare, free college and removal of the college loan debt. Help people soar and they will.

Budget for military passed last week? $738 billion. Budget for National Center for Missing and Exploited children? $28.3 million. Meanwhile, tech companies reported that last year alone there were 45 million impressions on the Internet of sexually abused children.

What’s the power that would drive the most amazing future? It’s the brain of every kindergartner. One are the most important things for us to do is to stop basing our educational funding on property taxes! We need a massive realignment of investment In every American child.

The best the best way to create a more prosperous economy 15 years from now is to take better care of our 10-year-olds today. Anytime we fail to help any American child reach their full potential, we’re leaving money on the table.

By withdrawing from the Iranian nuclear deal, the United States strengthened the hand of the hardliners in Iran. That in turn escalated the tensions. We must not look at what’s happening now as an isolated situation. We must look at the deeper roots of the problem & address them.
