“…if there is low voter turnout, right-wing Republicans are going to control the House and the Senate. But if turnout is large, if young people and working people across this country are as motivated to vote as were those who were at our meetings yesterday, then Democrats will gain control of the House and the Senate. And if we do that, we can change the country. But I am here to tell you that we cannot sit back and think someone else will do this for us. We have to do it ourselves.” — Senator Bernie Sanders
