VIDEO: BERNIE SANDERS @ THE COMET TAVERN, SEATTLE, WA. 8/8/15

Yesterday, I was able to partake in a remarkable opportunity: the chance to hear 2016 presidential candidate and U.S. Senator (VT) Bernie Sanders speak at a small gathering of grassroots supporters (like me) at The Comet Tavern in Seattle's Capitol Hill. Earlier in the day, things did not go as planned on Senator Sanders' visit to our town at Westlake Plaza, which you can read about here. But bringing in a capacity crowd to the Alaska Airlines Arena later in the evening of 12,000 (plus 3000 others who stood outside the arena) surely made the day end on a better note.

For all the people who did not get to hear what Senator Sanders had to say, here is his entire speech given at the Comet. Thank you for listening.
