Last year the phenomenon known as Bernie Sanders burst forth on the political scene . His ability to gather thousands of people to his movement has affected American politics in a way that no other has before . People from all across America , from all walks of life , joined together in one mass movement . We began to grow again; to flex our political muscles.

 Our grandmothers and grandfathers had Franklin Delano Roosevelt , my generation had John and Robert Kennedy . My sons and daughters generation had no hero. There was no one to tell them to stand up and fight for the country they love . Not in foreign wars; not in police actions overseas; but here on this soil.

 When Senator Sanders came on the scene talking about equality for all, talking about the injustices of a class oriented society, his message resounded in young peoples minds and hearts. It did not end there. As Senator Sanders continued his campaign for president of The United States, his message reached more and more people. The youth of our society took it to heart . At last they had someone who was speaking the truth; was pulling them out to do something better than what they were doing .

 After the sham of the Democratic convention, after realizing  their candidate had been cheated of the nomination , the majority of those who followed Senator Sanders went through periods of sadness, anger and general disaffection. They searched desperately for a person to carry on the work that Senator Sanders had begun. Enter Dr. Jill Stein . Many followers of Senator Sanders turned to Dr. Stein's camp.  This fragmented the movement and caused serious issues between those who followed Senator Sanders and those who followed Dr. Stein .

 Now, we are fragmented. We have broken up into many separate groups . This one for Stein, this one wants, Bernie, this one wants Hillary and the movement is suffering for it. Without unity, without solidarity without brotherhood, we may as well go back to sleep. The establishment understands this and they actively work to split us up . We fall for it too . We fight each other . "My candidate is the best. " "No, my candidate is the best . " This has gone on and on, day after day, ever since the convention.

It needs to STOP. Without a united front against the oligarchy we will get nowhere; we will still retain nothing, and we will always be divided and unsuccessful.

Come now.  Let's make a compromise; senators and representatives in our government do that every single day. Let us agree that we are of one purpose. To stop the oligarchy , to take back our country , and too return it to THE PEOPLE .

 With that in mind we can conquer any opposition . But, only if we UNITE only in SOLIDARITY only with BROTHERHOOD.
