US Sen. Bernie Sanders calls for a 'political revolution' at Springfield presidential campaign stop

[Uncle Joe]

Speaking to a crowd of 6,000 supporters, the Vermont senator stressed that his campaign is different from others as it's "designed not only to elect someone president of the United States, but to build a political movement."

"Sadly and tragically corporate America, the corporate media have so much power that no president can do what has to be done unless millions of americans come together and say loudly and clearly enough is enough," he stressed.

Taking aim at what he called the "grotesque level of wealth and income inequality in America," Sanders argued that the economy is rigged and needs to be changed.

National Nurses United Co-President Karen Higgins, who previously stumped for Sanders at the 2015 Massachusetts Democratic Convention, said while her organization, which is primarily comprised of women, wants to break the "glass ceiling," for now it wants to break "the class ceiling."

"This is a ceiling that has been crushing women, people of color, as well as the working men in this country and we believe Bernie Sanders serves our values of...compassion to heal America," she said as part of the pre-program remarks.
