THE ESSENTIAL BERNIE SANDERS AND HIS VISION FOR AMERICA
Book ID/图书代码: 03008015B82470
English Summary/英文概要: Meet the essential Bernie Sanders―an authentic and uncompromising champion of the people.
Independent United States Senator Bernie Sanders―with a thirty-five-year career in public service, first as Burlington, Vermont’s mayor, then as Vermont’s sole representative to Congress, and currently as a United States senator―is now campaigning to become president of the United States. His goal is to build a movement to take back our country from the rich and powerful, and return it to its rightful owners―we, the American people.
Sanders’ common sense, populist message is resonating with Democrats, Republicans, independents, as well as ordinary working- and middle-class Americans from all walks of life, including millennials, seniors, veterans, immigrants, environmentalists, union workers, and more.
In this short, accessible book, author Jonathan Tasini draws heavily from Sanders’ ample public record of speeches, statements, and interviews, and couples his working-class spirit with specific legislation he has championed on a number of core proposals that comprise a broader people’s agenda for America, including:
A national, single-payer health care system;
Free public higher education;
Taking on wealth and income inequality;
Preserving Social Security;
Caring for our veterans;
Ensuring civil rights for all;
Combatting climate change;
Reforming Wall Street, and much more.
The Essential Bernie Sanders and His Vision for America is a must-read for anyone who shares a vision for a forward-looking, sustainable, and more just United States of America, and is eager to change the course of history.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 让我们一同认识伯尼•桑德斯---一位真诚并且毫不妥协的民众捍卫者和斗士。
独立美国国会议员伯尼•桑德斯,拥有35年在公共服务领域的职业生涯,首先是作为佛蒙特周伯灵顿市市长,随后他担任过佛蒙特议会的唯一代言人----如今他正就任美国国会议员。他的目标便是发起一场运动,使我们能够从富人和权力阶层们手中夺回我们的国家,并将其交给真正的主人----我们自己,美国全体民众。
桑德斯所持有的常识观点和其所传递的平民主义信息在民主党、共和党、独立党派中,甚至是在美国各行各业的普通工薪阶层或是中产阶级中均能引起强烈的共鸣,其中包括青年一族,中年一族,退伍老兵,移民,环境保护论者,工会工人等等。
在这部简短同时又易于理解的书籍中,作者乔纳森•塔西尼大量引用了桑德斯丰富的公共演讲、发言和采访记录,并在其工人阶级的精神中融合了许多特定的法律法规,这些法规中有着极大的一部分是他曾经所捍卫过的核心法律提案,由极为宽泛的美国人民议程组成,其中主要包括有:
一个全国性的单项收费健康医疗保障系统;
免费公共高等教育;
呈现财富与收入不平等现象;
维持社会安全;
关怀退伍老兵;
确保每一个公民的权利;
与气候变迁作斗争;
对华尔街及许多其他同类环境进行彻底重建;
如果你也对未来、对可持续性而不仅仅是美国本身有所憧憬和展望,如果你也渴望改变历史的进程,那么《精英伯尼•桑德斯和他的美国预见》将是你的必读书目。(DC)
