If we allow the media to shape this debate we will lose momentum of change...this is NOT a Democratic spat, it is our campaign financing future...Selling access is wrong

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

....contributions. Which means we have no clue about the name, location, occupation, employer, or AMOUNT contributed of any of those contributions.

What's worse, holding one fundraiser in a wine cave or hiding the identities of $40+ million worth of contributions?

She is dynamic, no closed door fund raising, rich donors need not apply for ambassador's job,
and she has the best agenda on how to tackle Wall Street, Big Banks, Big profits, and Billionaires.
The income disparity in this country has gone from bad to worse in the last decade, and Trump is
accelerating it. Pretty soon 10 Billionaires will have more money than 99% of others. We won't
need dictator in White House. Those few Billionaires will drive the agenda and of course get richer.

She raised money in her Senate campaign out of public and press view, and then transferred the funds to her Presidential campaign. Who will ever know what we talked about?
