DNC CHAIR STATEMENT ON BERNIE SANDERS’ 2016 ANNOUNCEMENT
Source: Democratic National Committee
Washington, DC In response to Bernie Sanders announcement that he will run for president in 2016, DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement:
Democrats welcome Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders as the second candidate to officially seek the Democratic Partys nomination for President in 2016. Senator Sanders is well-recognized for his principled leadership and has consistently stood up for middle class families. Throughout his service in the U.S. House and Senate, Bernie Sanders has clearly demonstrated his commitment to the values we all share as members of the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party appreciates the contributions that Senator Sanders, Secretary Clinton, and other candidates will make to a healthy dialogue about the future of our party and our nation. There is a distinct contrast between Democrats who are on the side of middle and working class families and Republicans who are concerned with the very rich and wealthy corporations. Over the next year, the discussions we have during our respective nominating processes will help make that choice clear.

Could I trouble you to elaborate? Sounds like an interesting story.

(26,795 posts)"Click here to support Bernie", etc., or something. So I did. Signed in. But then I got a DNC/DWS email and realized what happened.

We are for Bernie. All in. Just donated.

(3,286 posts)The 1% never want to admit that there is an established class system. It undermines the myth that 'hard work' creates 'wealth'. They just forget to mention that that "wealth" is just for themselves.

(3,431 posts)That is what they needed to do, and I approve.
Now I just wait for their e-mail to contribute to
Bernie, after all they did ask me to do so for
HRC. I think there will be a very long wait though.
SusanCalvin
(6,592 posts)(I don't get DNC emails.)
If they solicited for Hillary and don't for Bernie, that is totally bogus.
sadoldgirl
(3,431 posts)about the first Democratic candidate and then her
ad for contributions. That was it for me!
SusanCalvin
(6,592 posts)I have no idea if that is usual. But if they do it for one they should definitely do it for all.
