Are Bernie's donors being targeted for Dirty Tricks?

Donors Names and amounts are available to the DNC and others. About a Week after my last Donation to Bernie, I get a personal Letter from Camp Clinton asking for Money. It would have been just as easy to use the donor list for nefarious deeds.

Plus, it's a bit funny how juvenile some can be... They create a term to describe behavior that doesn't exist and then imagine it to be witty to try to use it to discredit everyone's posts they disagree with.

who donate an average of about $30, it would be a huge waste of time and effort to try to harass them in any way, and with no upside. I wouldn't worry about it.

They could change registrations in a matter of minutes with a batch file and SQL injection.

Wouldn't hurt to check, I guess. Even if there aren't dirty tricks, sometimes mistakes are made.

Arizona is fucked up. It is run by conservative republicans that would prefer to run against Bernie. Hillary can't mess with voter registration in the state.

I have not once ever interacted with his campaign.

Democracy For America and Moveon.org gave him my information. It was that simple of an explanation.
