Milwaukee out in force on a Monday morning for rally w @IronStache, @TammyBaldwin, @Tony4WI, @TheOtherMandela—oh, and @BernieSanders
“My opponent calls me ‘Radical Randy.’ But I don’t think it’s radical to demand that everybody has access to health care.” – Randy Bryce
“Together, we repealed Paul Ryan. Now I need your help to replace him.” – @IronStache
Lt Gov nominee @MandelaForWI: “This campaign isn’t about listing off everything Scott Walker has done wrong. We’ve only got 15 days left. We’d run out of time.”
“The stakes in this election are so high. That’s why they’re putting up so many barriers to stop us from voting. We’ve got to vote in spite of them—we’ve got to vote *to* spite them.”
“We’ve got to vote because they don’t want us to vote” is a righteous response to voter suppression.

Live stream from Bernie/Tammy/Tony/Gwen/Mandela/Randy rally here: facebook.com/TammyBaldwin/v…
Rep Gwen Moore takes the stage singing (literally) the Scott Kevin Walker blues.
Peter Rickman, who led the fight to unionize the Milwaukee Bucks arena—including a $15 minimum wage—is lighting the crowd UP. “It’s time for us to rise. What happens in Wisconsin doesn’t stay in Wisconsin!”
When I hear this room say “I believe that we will win,” I believe that we will win.
“They’ve got millions of dollars. But you have the power. You have the power to decide.” – @TammyBaldwin
“If I were a Republican looking out at this room”—1100 people at 11am on a Monday—“I would be very nervous.” – @BernieSanders
You are the most progressive generation in American history. You are the biggest generation in American history. If young people vote at the same rate as every other age group of Americans, you will transform the United States of America.
Bernie tells story of the fight for Medicare for all, for a $15 minimum wage, for free public college tuition—and how “all of those so-called radical ideas are now strongly supported by the American people.”
