URGENT NEW MEXICO Ripped from Reddit IMPORTANT 10 Days!!!!

URGENT NEW MEXICO Ripped from Reddit IMPORTANT 10 Days!!!!
Urgent: Getting Bernie on the Ballot in New Mexico self.SandersForPresident
submitted 6 hours ago by CbbcbailNew Mexico
Dear SantaFe4Bernie Supporters,
(This applies to the whole state)
A crucial Santa Fe Democratic Party meeting is only ten days away. We need Bernie supporters to attend this meeting in large numbers to ensure Bernie is on the NM primary ballot and that he has the majority of NM delegates at the National Convention. This is a difficult process to grasp, so please read carefully.
The County Democratic Party Pre-Primary Meeting is Jan. 9, at 1420 Cerrillos Rd., with registration at 8:30 a.m. At this meeting, Ward elections will be held to select delegates for the State Dem. Party Convention on March 12. It is critical that we elect as many Bernie delegates as possible––Bernie needs the support of 20% of these delegates statewide to get on the primary ballot. And on March 12, these delegates will select the delegates who will be eligible to represent NM in the National Democratic Convention in July with the precise allocation of eligible delegates then determined by the primary results.
To prepare for the Jan. 9 meeting, we will have an Emergency Coordinating Meeting, Jan. 2, 2:30-4:30 pm at The Railyard Performance Center, 1611 Paseo De Peralta, (enter yellow warehouse building between El Museo Cultural and LewAllen Gallery from Camino de La Familia) directly across from the Railyard Pavillion. This meeting will help you identify your Ward, and we will discuss strategies to elect as many Bernie supporters as possible.
We need as many Bernie supporters as possible to attend both meetings. We need RSVPs for the Jan. 9 meeting in particular. Please respond to this email with your Ward #, which you can identify at the link below. We need to know how many Bernie supporters will be in each Ward meeting on the 9th so we can develop the best strategy for electing the most Bernie delegates. If you would like to be a delegate, please tell us this as well. Then forward this email to others.
How to identify your Ward # and the time of your Jan. 9th Ward meeting: The link below takes you to a state website where you can identify what precinct you are in. Then you can use the list below to identify your Ward Number (Wards are comprised of 2-7 precincts).

Wishing you a happy holiday,

John McCain: Bernie Sanders, Not Hillary Clinton, Has ‘Record of Advocacy’ for Vets

http://observer.com/2015/10/john-mccain-bernie-sanders-not-hillary-clinton-has-record-of-advocacy-for-vets/

Arizona Sen. John McCain—the 2008 Republican presidential nominee—told reporters today that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the second place candidate in the Democratic primary, has a “record of advocacy for our veterans” while front-runner Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state and senator from New York, does not.

On a conference call with reporters, Mr. McCain—chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee—and Florida Congressman Jeff Miller, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, lambasted Ms. Clinton for her claim last week that the 2014 Department of Veterans Affairs scandal was not “widespread.” The two Republicans recalled numerous cost overruns and countless members of the armed forces who did not receive vital medical care, and the Arizona senator touted his joint bill with Mr. Sanders to increase transparency at the VA and to allow vets to obtain treatment at private facilities.

Kroll, The Clintons, DWS and the DNC, Independent? I Don't Think So.

Pulled from Reddit. Amazing Investigation by rhetstudent there.
https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/3y3r8o/details_on_how_the_dnc_and_kroll_the_group_hired/


After finding out that Kroll was the company hired to do the investigation on the data breach, I've been doing a lot of research on exactly how the DNC and Kroll are related. I knew they were connected, but it’s honestly insane how biased they’re going to be in this investigation. Please share this far and wide, and spread the news on just how unfair this investigation is.
So let’s get started. First of all, I found that Kroll is owned by Providence Equity Partners Inc. When they bought Altegrity, Inc., they “expanded the business partly by adding Kroll Inc.”:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...ting-contracts
Altegrity has approximately 18k clients lobbying in the Senate and House combined:
http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/cli...4404&year=2015
Their president and CEO, Thomas Hartley, also worked for Bain and Company:
http://www.bloomberg.com/research/st...e=Kroll,%20Inc.
Going back as far as 2000, Bain and Company has contributed to HRC and DWS's campaigns:
http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/reci...t=A&cycle=2000
http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/reci...t=A&cycle=2008
http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/reci...t=A&cycle=2014
In 2012, when Garth Williams, CFO of Kroll, was working as VP and Assistant Controller, International for American Tower Corporation, his company gave $61,600 to the DNC. They also gave to the Democratic Executive Committee of Florida, where DWS serves.
Williams’s background:
http://www.bloomberg.com/research/st...ociates,%20Inc.
ATC campaign contributions:
http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summ...071&cycle=2012
Okay, so what about the bigger company, Providence Equity Partners Inc.? Richard D. Parsons, chairman of Citigroup, HRC’s biggest campaign contributor, is also a Senior Advisor for this company.
Citigroup’s contributions to HRC’s campaign:
https://www.opensecrets.org/politici...9&cycle=Career
Biography for Parsons:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/administr...embers/parsons
In 2013, Parsons gave $15,000 to the DNC:
http://www.opensecrets.org/usearch/?...cof=FORID%3A11
And in June of this year, he made the maximum individual contribution of $2,700 to HRC’s campaign:
http://www.opensecrets.org/usearch/?...cof=FORID%3A11
I’m sure there is a lot more to it than this, but it’s Christmas Eve, and this is honestly all the time I have to investigate the various connections between Kroll and the establishment today. Basic takeaway? Providence/Kroll/Atlegrity is absurdly connected to the DNC.

Everything about this election

is making me sick.

The debate ignoring global warming.
The debate being sfrigged for HRC
The debate 'pre-game' being moderated by a former Clinton activist and adviser.
The bans and vitriol here on DU
DWS and her bullshit which could tear this party in half. (It really has me thinking about what I have been a part of my entire life)
Lobbyists and Billionaires who just buy elections.
The destruction of the middle class during my lifetime.
The fact that even with an amazing scholarship, I am still paying $16K per year for my son's education and wondering how families much less fortunate than mine manage something like this.
A Christian religion so off the rails in the US that they have honestly forgotten the teachings of Jesus in favor of lunatic policies like Cruz, Huckabee and Carson.
A smug racist asshole with money leading in the polls.
And because of it discovering just who in my family has been a closet racist for so many years via their Facebook posts.
Being forced to explain to my team why their meager 2% salary increases and a lack of any meaningful bonus is still a great reason to smile and keep on plugging away.
Watching neighbor after neighbor getting foreclosed upon time after time for the last fucking 9 years.
Living in a State that doesn't value teachers at all and as a result is last in the country in Education.
Seeing innocent people repeatedly slaughtered every single week all because gun owners in the US have bought into a lobbyist for gun manufacturers thinking they actually give one shit about their twisted rights under the Constitution.
Knowing that one at least one, maybe two Supreme Court Justices, can be so smart and yet so ignorant.

Honestly, googling about Denmark and Sweden and considering moving.

The ONLY thing keeping me going this time around is knowing that we actually have ONE candidate in this election that could actually SAVE America, but wondering if he gets elected, just how he will get any of it done in the face of such a collection of elected filth in Congress and even with all of that, I can only hope, contribute and try and help as much as time allows to elect Bernie Sanders.

Because:

The people on Wall Street abusing the system are NOT my friends.
The people at the banks who speculated with our money only to wind up foreclosing on 80% of the homes in my zip code and the one next to me are NOT my friends.
The individuals who are actively attempting to use my Party to influence and rig this election on behalf of one candidate are NOT my friends.
The bat-shit crazy religious fanatics who want to void the separation between church and state are NOT my friends.
The media who refuse to fairly cover my candidate because their bosses say they can't are NOT my friends.
The elected officials that virtually eliminated tarriffs and signed or voted for agreements that sent jobs to China and Overseas are NOT my friends, it does not matter what Party they belong to.

So why does this election continue to make me sick?

Because apparently, I do not have that many friends in this country unless they are 18 to 28 or old hippies with a smattering of people in between.

Time to go outside and enjoy some sunshine.
