Yang Gang --

The reason I’m running for president is because politicians in DC are not up to solving the problems of the 21st century.

Why?  Because most of them barely understand the problems of the 21st century.

The numbers say you have a 50-50 chance of doing better than your parents if you are a millennial.  That same number was 90% if you were born in the 1940s or 50s.

The American dream is dying -- and everyone knows it.  It’s why people are feeling that sinking sense of despair.

We need to wake politicians up from politics as usual and to the problems of this era.

And it’s going to take a campaign like this one -- outsider, non-politician, completely funded by the people with grassroots donations -- to wake them up.

Make a contribution of $10 or more now as a way to show you’re sick of politics as usual.  We must hit our goal before midnight Thursday to make this campaign successful.

This is a revolution of humanity and reason.  We are tired of the infighting, the nonsense, the solutions that will never touch our lives.

We have to evolve our economy to one that puts humanity first -- real people -- instead of GDP and corporate profits.

I didn’t grow up dreaming of running for president.  I’m in this race to help solve problems that are making it harder and harder for us to leave our children more than we had.  It’s going to be very, very difficult, but I think we can do it if enough of us get together and do the work.

A year ago, many laughed at this campaign.  I can tell you firsthand from the campaign trail -- they are not laughing now.

Make a contribution of $10 or more now and let’s show everyone our power and our desire for change.

This campaign wasn’t built by big donors or the establishment media -- it was built in spite of those things.  And we must remember that it will take an extraordinary effort to take on the other candidates who will have these winds at their backs.
