"The American people, whether they are Democrats, Republicans or Independents, do not want billionaires to control our government or buy our elections," Sanders stated in a news release. "They do not want Republicans to decimate Social Security and the Veterans Administration. They do not want huge tax breaks for the wealthiest people in the country paid for by massive cuts to Medicaid and other programs that working families rely on. That is why I will be visiting Republican-held districts all over the Western United States. When we are organized and fight back, we can defeat oligarchy.”
