Cenk Uygur - Bernie's Washington Square Park rally has broken another record! 30,000 are there!

Cenk Uygur ‏@cenkuygur
Bernie Sanders rally at Washington Square Park is epic. Broke record for people at this historic park. 30,000 people! #FeelTheBern

Someone on Reddit posted the NYPD reported 48,000 (!), but didn't post proof of that, so I'll go with
Cenk's number for now.

Not just the park is packed, but so are all the streets!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

your group is wrong, because the NYPD undercounts. I have never known this to happen before.

beat us with clubs, arrest hundreds, thousands, but we won't be deterred. The Rich Fat Cats that Clinton serves have already taken too much from us. Fuck them and their minions. We've had enough.

We want fair elections

We want Big Money out of our government

We want an economy that works for all the people and not just the Rich Fat Cats.

We want every American to have access to affordable health care.

We want to see the 50,000,000 in poverty given a fair chance to survive.

We want to see that our infant mortality rate decreases.

Every Democrat should agree with the above, but not the Clinton supporters. They want to see the Clintons wealth reach a billion, and more profits for Goldman-Sachs. Mammon: The greedy pursuit of wealth. Yeah, that's the ticket.
