One Hillary SuperPac Billionaire Donor Exceeds the Total Donations for entire city of Boulder, CO

This is what is so scary about HRC and Citizens United: We're losing our democracy---only the billionaires can have a voice:

Top Hillary Clinton PAC Donation Amounts to 222,000 Bernie Sanders Donations


Zaid Jilani

That means Soros gave as much money as a small city’s worth of small donors — 222,000 people, slightly larger than the population of Des Moines.

The $3 million that pro-Israel billionaire power couple Haim and Cheryl Saban gave is equivalent to about 185,000 Sanders donations, or a bit more than the population of Boulder.

Former AIG chief Hank Greenberg gave $10 million to Jeb Bush’s Right To Rise Super PAC through his company, C.V. Starr. That’s 370,000 average Sanders donations – almost the population of New Orleans.

she does not represent the American people

and if elected, she would not serve us.

Hillary belongs to the 1%. Her Supreme Court appointments would also serve the 1%.

I am against EVERY billionaire that donates massive amounts of money to Super PACs.

It should be illegal.
