For 1/10 of what 47 just spent on tax cuts to the rich, we could have 10 years of guaranteeing people affordable health insurance in America.

You have to practice bravery every day.
You have to practice standing up to people every day. To challenging small bullies and people in power when you see them every day.
If you don’t, your habit will be to keep your mouth shut in times when you will wish you hadn’t.
