Bernie's campaign just sent a mass email on the disgrace in Arizona

The email blamed it on the Voting Rights Act being gutted by the Supreme Court. It asked me to sign an online petition to reinstate the Voting Rights Act. I did, but it only contained my first name and zip code and the email said nothing about where the petition would be going or what if any other action would be taken. And then it bounced me into a solicitation to make another campaign contribution with Act Blue, which I chose not to do.

filled out the survey, but didn't give money. I can't wait till next payday so I can give Bernie more money! For now I'm broke.

I know Hillary's tapping into her superpacs, which she said she wouldn't do in the primaries. So you know shes rattled. Give your money directly to Bernie if you can!

2. The campaign won't do anything about the election fraud and voter suppression in AZ.

If it was an important issue to them, they would have done something starting in Iowa, Massachusetts, FL, Illinois and Missouri.

If there was one person on this planet who I thought would take that bull by the horns and destroy it, it was Bernie. I am very disappointed.

5. Evidently they have been infiltrated by people whose agenda is hurting Bernie and helping Hillary

i actually think thats quite probable, given the stakes for Hillary and the 20 year old 'progressive liberalisation' agenda (which means irreversible privatization) of discovery.

with such a massive war chest Hillary is likely spending it on moles and propagandists in the MSM. Arizona has forever tainted the party and her candidacy though. She can never be seen as legitimate going forward.

The woman in Arizona saying "I take full responsibility" without even saying what happened or what will be done about it is disgraceful. Bernie's campaign should have some people in Arizona demanding answers, including from the DNC with regard to what they're going to do about it, and making it a national news story.

worth it to get one more delegate.

But Az? I wish he would! BUT he may not have to because the Mayor is getting Loretta Lynch involved.
