Remember folks, once we have victory, we need to:- Eliminate "Citizens United" which is a tool for corporations and billionaires to buy politicians- Outlaw gerrymandering, and undo everywhere it has been used- Make comprehensive women's health laws- Make billionaires pay their fair share- K-PhD and K-Trade Cert free- Public option for everyone for Medicare - from sperm to worm- All primary care free at point of care- Public transit free at point of use- Tax investment houses
