1. Perez and Sanders are hitting the road.

'As Democrats, we believe that every hardworking American should have an opportunity to get ahead. We believe in standing up for working people, that you should get a fair wage for a hard day's work, and that access to health care is a right, not a privilege.

Those are our party's values, and they're America's values -- they're what most people voted for last November.

We need to turn our party around and get back on track to take on Donald Trump and win elections. But that doesn't mean changing what it means to be a Democrat.

We have to rebuild the Democratic Party from the grassroots up to make sure we're talking about our values and fighting for our candidates in every state and every level of government, from town councils all the way up to the President of the United States.

That's why, next Monday, we're kicking off the Come Together and Fight Back Tour with Senator Bernie Sanders. Sign up here to learn more about how you can be part of it.

Bernie and I are hitting the road and holding grassroots organizing rallies as we crisscross the country from Maine to Arizona. We'll be hearing from folks like you about how we can make the Democratic Party stronger, faster, leaner, and feistier so we can fight for the values we all share -- and win.

This tour is all about you. The Democratic Party would be nowhere without folks like you who sign up, chip in, volunteer, and get active in your communities.

Even if Bernie and I aren't able to make it to a city near you, I want to make sure you're part of the conversation.

Thanks, and I'll see you out there!

Tom

We got our ass handed to us because of that. When we needed funds to recover from the Comey Friday Night Massacre,no one in Brooklyn would pick up the phone. Was there and done that. Oh just send us a e-mail,yah right.
