The average donation to HRC goes down rapidly when she sends out a mailer for a buck a head. Of course that won't get you through the door of one of her special meetings. The way I read it was that a hundred thousand individual bucks would bring the average donation down a good deal.

It is revealing that such is the way HRC rolls. Don't appeal to the people for support, attempt instead to scam them.

They do release the number of donors, but there's some lag time.

We wouldn't need either party's infrastructure to win elections if we could build the Independent Party. Whether Bernie wins or loses we'll need to do that anyway.

You bet. Screw that Wall St. super pac that's running $600K of anti-Bernie ads in IA this week. They aren't going to win because we are controlling the message, not them, and no one trusts them.

I hear great news like this, I remember what Bernie said at the very beginning:

"Don't under estimate me."
