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 citys 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 Bushs Right To Rise Super PAC through his company, C.V. Starr. Thats 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%.

Best to use them to our advantage.

I am against EVERY billionaire that donates massive amounts of money to Super PACs.
It should be illegal.
