29 Wall Street Fundraisers for Clinton since April 28, 2015

Yes, Clinton supporters, the link is to a right wing publication, but I've been looking for this information and haven't been able to find anything beyond how much financial industry money she's raised. There is no commentary posted, just the dates, locations, names and positions of the hosts. It's valuable information. So alert away if you must.

To be more precise, not all those above events are Wall Street.

And they've done a few recently.

Often, I see: $2,700 to have your picture taken with her. Typically $1,000 to get it. 250-500 people is a $250,000- $500,000 minimum for 2-3 hrs work.

The thing is, that this week, the media got wind of her sneaking off from Iowa to a Wall Street event not on the schedule and she rescheduled it. The Church visit seemed like very impromptu cover - the church, the museum - no one had any published notice that she was coming.

Bill been doing some of them with Wall Streeters as well.

They do not seem to have the grassroots support as much as they did in 2008. Bernie seems to have that. So she has to have fundraiser to keep up financially. That drags her off the campaign trail like in Iowa this week. So to all you Bernie donors out there, that's one way your donations are already paying off.

Hillary has made her choice

Which Side Are You On?

Golly Gee whiz. I sure hope my OPINION hasn't offended anyone

PS: NO one is stupid enough to believe that this kind of money will have no influence on a candidate and gain no SPECIAL access. Pretending that it won't is evil or at least delusional.
