Packed town hall meeting in Portsmouth, NH today.

"This grotesque level of inequality is immoral & it is deeply un-American."

"What I want to do is something radical and that is practice democracy."

Following the event at New England College’s Concord office, Sanders walked about a block north, to speak to an overflow crowd that had patiently waited in the heat to see the senator.

“We’re going to be back here in New Hampshire, we’re going to be running a very grassroots campaign," he vowed. "That’s what I’ve always done in Vermont and that’s what we’re going to do here. That means town meetings, that means rallies, that means knocking on doors.”

“We’re with ya,” yelled two supporters, as the crowd cheered.

He's talking on a bullhorn to the crowd outside. He doesn't have enough money to pay all those people.
