>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
SHORTLY AFTER THE POLLS CLOSED, 
SECRETARY CLINTON CALLED AND WAS
VERY GRACIOUS IN HER 
CONGRATULATIONS.
I THANK HER FOR HER CALL, AND I 
CONGRATULATE HER AND HER 
SUPPORTERS FOR THE VIGOROUS 
CAMPAIGN THEY RAN IN NEW 
HAMPSHIRE.
AND LET ME TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO THANK THE MANY, MANY 
THOUSANDS OF VOLUNTEERS HERE IN 
THE GRANITE STATE WHO WORK SO 
TIRELESSLY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
OUR VOLUNTEERS WORK NIGHT AND 
DAY, MADE PHONE CALLS AND 
KNOCKED ON A HECK OF A LOT OF 
DOORS.
AND WE WON BECAUSE OF YOUR 
ENERGY.
THANK YOU, ALL, SO MUCH.
AND I WANT TO THANK JULIA BARNES
AND OUR GREAT CAMPAIGN STAFF.
TOGETHER, WE HAVE SENT THE 
MESSAGE THAT WILL ECHO FROM WALL
STREET TO WASHINGTON, FROM MAINE
TO CALIFORNIA.
AND THAT IS THAT THE GOVERNMENT 
OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY BELONGS TO 
ALL OF THE PEOPLE AND NOT JUST A
HANDFUL OF WEALTHY CAMPAIGN 
CONTRIBUTORS AND THEIR 
SUPERPACS.
NINE MONTHS AGO, WE BEGAN OUR 
CAMPAIGN HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
WE HAD NO CAMPAIGN ORGANIZATION,
WE HAD NO MONEY, AND WE WERE 
TAKING ON THE MOST POWERFUL 
POLITICAL ORGANIZATION IN THE 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
AND TONIGHT WITH WHAT APPEARS TO
BE A RECORD-BREAKING VOTER 
TURNOUT -- 
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
-- BECAUSE OF A HUGE VOTER 
TURNOUT, AND I SAY HUGE, WE WON.
BECAUSE WE HARNESSED THE ENERGY 
AND THE EXCITEMENT THAT THE 
DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL NEED TO 
SUCCEED IN NOVEMBER.
WHAT HAPPENED HERE IN NEW 
HAMPSHIRE IN TERMS OF AN 
ENTHUSIASTIC AND, AN AROUSED 
ELECTORATE, PEOPLE WHO CAME OUT 
IN LARGE NUMBERS, THAT IS WHAT 
WILL HAPPEN ALL OVER THIS 
COUNTRY.
AND LET US NEVER FORGET, 
DEMOCRATS AND PROGRESSIVES WIN 
WHEN VOTER TURNOUT IS HIGH.
REPUBLICANS WIN WHEN PEOPLE ARE 
DEMORALIZED AND VOTER TURNOUT IS
LOW.
TONIGHT WE SERVE NOTICE TO THE 
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC 
ESTABLISHMENT OF THIS COUNTRY 
THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL 
NOT CONTINUE TO ACCEPT A CORRUPT
CAMPAIGN FINANCE SYSTEM THAT IS 
UNDERMINING AMERICAN DEMOCRACY 
AND WE WILL NOT ACCEPT A RIGGED 
ECONOMY IN WHICH ORDINARY 
AMERICANS WORK LONGER HOURS FOR 
LOWER WAGES WHILE ALMOST ALL NEW
INCOME AND WEALTH FWGOES TO THE 
TOP 1%.
I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY,
AGAIN, TO CONGRATULATE SECRETARY
CLINTON AND HER ORGANIZATION AND
SUPPORTERS FOR WAGING A VIGOROUS
CAMPAIGN.
I HOPE THAT IN THE DAYS AHEAD WE
CAN CONTINUE TO WAGE A STRONG 
ISSUE-ORIENTED CAMPAIGN AND 
BRING NEW PEOPLE INTO THE 
POLITICAL PROCESS.
BUT I ALSO HOPE THAT WE ALL 
REMEMBER, AND THIS IS A MESSAGE 
NOT JUST TO OUR OPPONENTS, BUT 
TO THOSE WHO SUPPORT ME AS WELL,
THAT WE WILL NEED TO COME 
TOGETHER IN A FEW MONTHS AND 
UNITE THIS PARTY AND THIS NATION
BECAUSE THE RIGHT-WING 
REPUBLICANS WE OPPOSE MUST NOT 
BE ALLOWED TO GAIN THE 
PRESIDENCY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AS WE ALL REMEMBER, THE LAST 
TIME REPUBLICANS OCCUPIED THE 
WHITE HOUSE, THEIR TRICKLE-DOWN 
ECONOMIC POLICIES DROVE US INTO 
THE WORST ECONOMIC DOWNTURN 
SINCE THE DEPRESSION OF THE 
1930s.
NO, WE WILL NOT ALLOW HUGE TAX 
BREAKS FOR BILLIONAIRES.
WE WILL NOT ALLOW HUGE CUTS TO 
SOCIAL SECURITY, VETERANS NEEDS,
MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AND 
EDUCATION.
NO, WE WILL NOT ALLOW BACK INTO 
THE WHITE HOUSE A POLITICAL 
PARTY WHICH IS SO BEHOLDEN TO 
THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY THAT 
THEY CANNOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE
SCIENTIFIC REALITY OF CLIMATE 
CHANGE OR ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
THE PEOPLE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE HAVE
SENT A PROFOUND MESSAGE TO THE 
POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT, TO THE 
ECONOMIC ESTABLISHMENT, AND BY 
THE WAY, TO THE MEDIA 
ESTABLISHMENT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> BERNIE!
BERNIE!
BERNIE!
>> WHAT THE PEOPLE HERE HAVE 
SAID IS THAT GIVEN THE ENORMOUS 
CRISES FACING OUR COUNTRY, IT IS
JUST TOO LATE FOR THE SAME OLD, 
SAME OLD ESTABLISHMENT POLITICS 
AND ESTABLISHMENT ECONOMICS.
THE PEOPLE WANT REAL CHANGE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE 
SAYING, AND BY THE WAY, I HEAR 
THIS NOT JUST FROM PROGRESSIVES 
BUT FROM CONSERVATIVES AND FROM 
MODERATES, IS THAT WE CAN NO 
LONGER CONTINUE TO HAVE A 
CAMPAIGN FINANCE SYSTEM IN WHICH
WALL STREET AND THE BILLIONAIRE 
CLASS ARE ABLE TO BUY ELECTIONS.
AMERICANS, AMERICANS NO MATTER 
WHAT THEIR POLITICAL VIEW MAY 
BE, UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS NOT 
WHAT DEMOCRACY IS ABOUT.
THAT IS WHAT OLIGARCHY IS ABOUT.
AND WE WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TO 
CONTINUE.
I DO NOT HAVE A SUPERPAC AND I 
DO NOT WANT A SUPERPAC.
I AM OVERWHELMED AND I AM DEEPLY
MOVED, FAR MORE THAN I CAN 
EXPRESS IN WORDS, BY THE FACT 
THAT OUR CAMPAIGN'S FINANCIAL 
SUPPORT COMES FROM MORE THAN 1 
MILLION AMERICANS WHO HAVE MADE 
MORE THAN 3.7 MILLION INDIVIDUAL
CONTRIBUTIONS.
THAT IS MORE INDIVIDUAL 
CONTRIBUTIONS THAN ANY CANDIDATE
IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED 
STATES UP UNTIL THIS POINT IN AN
ELECTION.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT AVERAGE 
CONTRIBUTION WAS?
$27.
I AM GOING TO NEW YORK CITY 
TONIGHT AND TOMORROW, BUT I'M 
NOT GOING TO NEW YORK CITY TO 
HOLD A FUND-RAISER ON WALL 
STREET.
INSTEAD, I'M GOING TO HOLD A 
FUND-RAISER RIGHT HERE, RIGHT 
NOW, ACROSS AMERICA.
MY REQUEST IS, PLEASE GO TO 
BERNIESANDERS.COM AND 
CONTRIBUTE.
PLEASE HELP US RAISE THE FUNDS 
WE NEED, WHETHER IT'S 10 BUCKS 
OR 20 BUCKS OR 50 BUCKS, HELP US
RAISE THE MONEY WE NEED TO TAKE 
THE FIGHT TO NEVADA, SOUTH 
CAROLINA, AND THE STATES ON 
SUPER TUESDAY.
SO THERE IT IS.
THAT'S OUR FUND-RAISER.
PRETTY QUICK.
NOW, WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE 
UNDERSTAND IS THAT OUR GREAT 
COUNTRY WAS BASED ON A SIMPLE 
PRINCIPLE, AND THAT PRINCIPLE IS
FAIRNESS.
LET ME BE VERY CLEAR.
IT IS NOT FAIR WHEN WE HAVE MORE
INCOME AND WEALTH INEQUALITY 
TODAY THAN ALMOST ANY MAJOR 
COUNTRY ON EARTH, AND WHEN THE 
TOP .1 OF 1% NOW OWNS ALMOST AS 
MUCH WEALTH AS THE BOTTOM 90%, 
THAT'S NOT FAIR.
IT IS NOT FAIR WHEN THE 20 
WEALTHIEST PEOPLE IN THIS 
COUNTRY NOW OWN MORE WEALTH THAN
THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE.
SO YOU GUYS READY FOR A RADICAL 
IDEA?
TOGETHER WE ARE GOING TO CREATE 
AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS FOR ALL OF
US, NOT JUST THE 1%.
AND WHEN MILLIONS OF OUR PEOPLE 
ARE WORKING FOR STARVATION 
WAGES, YEP, WE'RE GOING TO RAISE
THE MINIMUM WAGE TO 15 BUCKS AN 
HOUR.
AND WE ARE GOING TO BRING PAY 
EQUITY FOR WOMEN.
AND WHEN WE NEED THE BEST 
EDUCATED WORKFORCE IN THE WORLD,
YES, WE ARE GOING TO MAKE PUBLIC
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES 
TUITION FREE.
AND FOR THE MILLIONS OF 
AMERICANS STRUGGLING WITH 
HORRENDOUS LEVELS OF STUDENT 
DEBT, WE ARE GOING TO 
SUBSTANTIALLY EASE THAT BURDEN.
IN MARK, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE 
FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED FOR 
DECADES FOR THE CRIME, THE CRIME
OF TRYING TO GET A HIGHER 
EDUCATION.
THAT'S ABSURD.
WELL, MY CRITICS SAY, YOU KNOW, 
BERNIE, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, 
YOU'RE INTO ALL THIS FREE STUFF,
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR IT?
I WILL TELL YOU HOW WE'RE GOING 
TO PAY FOR IT.
WE'RE GOING TO IMPOSE A TAX ON 
WALL STREET SPECULATION.
THE GREED, THE RECKLESSNESS, AND
THE ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR OF WALL 
STREET DROVE OUR ECONOMY TO ITS 
KNEES.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BAILED OUT 
WALL STREET, NOW IT'S WALL 
STREET'S TIME TO HELP THE MIDDLE
CLASS.
AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT 
TRANSFORMING AMERICA, IT MEANS 
ENDING THE DISGRACE OF THIS 
COUNTRY HAVING MORE PEOPLE IN 
JAIL THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN 
THE WORLD DISPROPORTIONATELY 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND LATINO.
NOT ONLY ARE WE GOING TO FIGHT 
TO END INSTITUTIONAL RACISM AND 
A BROKEN CRIMINAL JUSTICE 
SYSTEM -- 
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
-- WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE JOBS 
AND EDUCATION FOR OUR YOUNG 
PEOPLE, NOT JAILS AND 
INCARCERATION.
AND LET ME SAY THAT AS A MEMBER 
OF THE ENERGY COMMITTEE IN THE 
SENATE AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL 
COMMITTEE, THE DEBATE IS OVER.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL.
IT IS CAUSED BY HUMAN ACTIVITY, 
AND IT IS ALREADY CAUSING 
DEVASTATING PROBLEMS IN THIS 
COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD.
WE HAVE A MORAL RESPONSIBILITY 
TO WORK WITH COUNTRIES 
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD TO 
TRANSFORM OUR ENERGY SYSTEM AWAY
FROM FOSSIL FUEL TO ENERGY 
EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABLE 
ENERGY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
NOW, I HAVE BEEN CRITICIZED 
DURING THIS CAMPAIGN FOR MANY, 
MANY THINGS.
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
THAT'S OKAY.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
THEY'RE THROWING EVERYTHING AT 
ME EXCEPT THE KITCHEN SINK, AND 
I HAVE THE FEELING THAT KITCHEN 
SINK IS COMING PRETTY SOON AS 
WELL.
BUT WHAT OUR CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT 
IS THINKING BIG, NOT SMALL.
IT'S ABOUT HAVING THE COURAGE TO
REJECT THE STATUS QUO.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
IT'S ABOUT SAYING THAT IN A TIME
WHEN EVERY MAJOR COUNTRY ON 
EARTH GUARANTEES HEALTH CARE TO 
ALL OF THEIR PEOPLE, WE SHOULD 
BE DOING THE SAME IN OUR GREAT 
COUNTRY.
IN MY VIEW ON THE PRESIDENT 
OBAMA'S LEADERSHIP, THE 
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT HAS BEEN AN 
IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD, NO 
QUESTION ABOUT IT, BUT WE CAN 
AND MUST DO BETTER.
29 MILLION AMERICANS SHOULD NOT 
REMAIN UNINSURED,S AND EVEN 
GREATER NUMBER SHOULD NOT BE 
UNDERINSURED WITH LARGE 
DEDUCTIBLES AND CO-PAYMENTS, WE 
SHOULD NOT BE PAYING BY FAR THE 
HIGHEST PRICES IN THE WORLD FOR 
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AT A TIME, 
LISTEN TO THIS, WHEN THE TOP 
THREE DRUG COMPANIES IN THIS 
COUNTRY MADE $45 BILLION IN 
PROFIT LAST YEAR.
THAT IS AN OBSCENITY, AND LET ME
TELL YOU SOMETHING, WHEN WE MAKE
IT TO THE WHITE HOUSE -- 
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
-- WHEN WE MAKE IT TO THE WHITE 
HOUSE, THE PHARMACEUTICAL 
INDUSTRY WILL NOT CONTINUE TO 
RIP OFF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AND FURTHER, MAKES NO SENSE THAT
AS A NATION WE CONTINUE TO SPEND
FAR, FAR MORE PER CAPITA THAN DO
THE PEOPLE OF ANY OTHER NATION 
ALL OF WHOM GUARANTEE HEALTH 
CARE TO ALL OF THEIR PEOPLE.
AND THAT IS WHY I BELIEVE IN A 
MEDICARE FOR ALL SINGLE PAYER 
PROGRAM.
WHICH WILL NOT ONLY GUARANTEE 
HEALTH CARE FOR ALL, BUT WILL 
SAVE THE AVERAGE MIDDLE CLASS 
FAMILY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A 
YEAR IN HEALTH CARE COSTS.
MY FRIENDS, WE ALL KNOW THAT WE 
LIVE IN A DANGEROUS AND COMPLEX 
WORLD.
AS PRESIDENT, I WILL DEFEND THIS
NATION, BUT I WILL DO IT 
RESPONSIBLY.
I VOTED AGAINST THE WAR IN IRAQ.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AND THAT WAS THE RIGHT VOTE.
WHILE WE MUST RELENTLESS IN 
COMBATTING TERRORISTS WHO WOULD 
DO US HARM, WE CANNOT AND SHOULD
NOT BE THE POLICEMEN OF THE 
WORLD.
NOR SHOULD WE BEAR THE BURDEN OF
FIGHTING TERRORISM ALONE.
IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THE UNITED 
STATES MUST BE PART OF AN 
INTERNATIONAL COALITION 
SUSTAINED BY NATIONS IN THE 
REGION THAT HAVE THE MEANS TO 
PROTECT THEMSELVES.
TOGETHER, WE MUST AND WILL 
DESTROY ISIS, BUT WE SHOULD DO 
IT IN A WAY THAT DOES NOT PUT 
OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IN THE 
MILITARY INTO PERPETUAL WARFARE 
IN THE QUAGMIRE OF THE MIDDLE 
EAST.
MY FRIENDS, WE MUST FIX OUR 
BROKEN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM THAT 
DIVIDES FAMILIES AND CREATE A 
PATH TOWARD CITIZENSHIP FOR 
HARDWORKING PEOPLE WHO ARE 
LIVING IN THE SHADOWS.
WE MUST STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND 
SOCIAL SECURITY AND INCREASE THE
BENEFITS THAT SENIORS AND 
DISABLED VETS RECEIVE SO THAT 
PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN DIGNITY IN 
THEIR RETIREMENT.
WE MUST REBUILD OUR CRUMBLING 
INFRASTRUCTURE AND WHEN WE DO 
THAT, WE CREATE MILLIONS OF 
DEDE 
KR
DECENT PAYING JOBS.
WE MUST PURSUE THE FIGHT FOR 
WOMEN'S RIGHTS, FOR GAY RIGHTS, 
FOR DISABILITY RIGHTS.
WE MUST AGAINST STRONGER AND 
STRONGER OPPOSITION PROTECT THE 
RIGHT OF A WOMAN TO CONTROL HER 
OWN BODY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AND WE MUST PROTECT THE MEN AND 
WOMEN WHO SERVE OUR NATION IN 
UNIFORM AND PROTECT OUR VETERANS
WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE 
TO DEFEND US.
MY FRIENDS, WE MUST TELL THE 
BILLIONAIRE CLASS AND THE 1% 
THAT THEY CANNOT HAVE IT ALL AT 
A TIME OF MASSIVE WEALTH AND 
INCOME INEQUALITY.
THE WEALTHIEST PEOPLE AND 
LARGEST CORPORATIONS IN THIS 
COUNTRY WILL START PAYING THEIR 
FAIR SHARE OF TAXES.
MY FRIENDS, I AM THE SON OF A 
POLISH IMMIGRANT WHO CAME TO 
THIS COUNTRY SPEAKING NO ENGLISH
AND HAVING NO MONEY.
MY FATHER WORKED EVERY DAY OF 
HIS LIFE AND HE NEVER MADE A 
WHOLE LOT.
MY MOM AND DAD AND BROTHER AND I
GREW UP IN A SMALL 3 1/2 ROOM   
HALF ROOM RENT CONTROLLED 
APARTMENT IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
MY MOTHER, WHO DIED AT A YOUNG 
AGE ALWAYS DREAMED OF MOVING OUT
OF THAT APARTMENT, GETTING A 
HOME OF HER OWN, BUT SHE NEVER 
REALIZED THAT DREAM.
THE TRUTH IS THAT NEITHER ONE OF
MY PARENTS COULD EVER HAVE 
DREAMED THAT I WOULD BE HERE 
TONIGHT STANDING BEFORE YOU AS A
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE 
UNITED STATES.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
[ CROWD CHANTING 
 ]
>> THIS IS THE PROMISE OF 
AMERICA AND THIS IS THE PROMISE 
WE MUST KEEP ALIVE FOR FUTURE 
GENERATIONS.
WHAT BEGAN LAST WEEK IN IOWA 
WHEN VOTERS HERE IN NEW 
HAMPSHIRE CONFIRMED TONIGHT IS 
NOTHING SHORT OF THE BEGINNING 
OF A POLITICAL REVOLUTION.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
IT IS A POLITICAL REVOLUTION 
THAT WILL BRING TENS O MILLIONS
OF OUR PEOPLE TOGETHER.
IT WILL BRING TOGETHER WORKING 
PEOPLE, WHO HAVE GIVEN UP ON THE
POLITICAL PROCESS.
IT WILL BRING TOGETHER YOUNG 
PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER 
PARTICIPATED IN THE POLITICAL 
PROCESS.
[ CHEERS ]
IT WILL BRING TOGETHER BLACKS 
AND WHITES, LATINOS, 
ASIAN-AMERICANS, NATIVE 
AMERICANS, STRAIGHT AND GAY, 
MALE AND FEMALE, PEOPLE WHO WERE
BORN IN AMERICA AND PEOPLE WHO 
IMMIGRATED HERE.
WE WILL ALL COME TOGETHER TO SAY
LOUDLY AND CLEARLY THAT THE 
GOVERNMENT OF OUR GREAT NATION 
BELONGS TO ALL OF YOU, NOT JUST 
A FEW WEALTHY CAMPAIGN 
CONTRIBUTORS.
THAT IS WHAT THIS CAMPAIGN IS 
ABOUT.
THAT IS WHAT THE POLITICAL 
REVOLUTION IS ABOUT.
SO NEW HAMPSHIRE, THANK YOU 
AGAIN.
AND NOW IT'S ON -- 
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> THANK YOU, NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND
NOW IT'S ON TO NEVADA, SOUTH 
CAROLINA AND BEYOND!
