Vermonters often ask me whether I am pessimistic about the future of our country. My honest answer is that I am not. Difficult times often bring out the best in people. Now, in this moment of great national crisis, a new president is assuming office who is not only extremely intelligent but has, I believe, a deep historical understanding which will help him see where we need to go in the future. I am confident that with new national leadership and renewed grass-roots activism we can effectively change the direction of our country and create the kind of nation that all of us know America can be. Sen. Bernie Sanders ☀
