Can I get a little love from the 14th (Doyle's) congressional district on gerrymandering?

Yes, I'm helping the person running for delegate in the 14th. Interestingly, over the years, the number of signatures to get on the ticket and run for delegate (in his care, Bernie Sanders) requires 250 signatures.

I'm trying to help him from Monroeville, BUT, I'm willing to meet up with people in the 14th for signatures, which I'm trying to wrap up this week.

Would anyone here be able to meet up with me, and if so, enable me to get at least 5 signatures from my meeting up with you.

I realize this is a tall order, but I'm asking.

Gerrymandering, plus the higher number of required delegate signatures make it harder to get a good candidate in place. I'm using all the resources I can. I have 3 congressional districts just in my ward!

Amazing...

FBI confirms Clinton probe

The FBI formally confirmed that its investigation connected to Hillary Clinton’s private email server remains ongoing in a letter released on Monday.
http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/268688-fbi-confirms-probe-clinton-probe-is-ongoing
The letter from FBI general counsel James Baker comes one day before the New Hampshire primary.

The message does not offer new details about the probe, which the bureau has been reluctant to discuss. However, it represents the FBI’s formal notification to the State Department that it is investigating the issue.
Since last September, “in public statements and testimony, the Bureau has acknowledged generally that it is working on matters related to former Secretary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server,” Baker wrote to the State Department.

“The FBI has not, however, publicly acknowledged the specific focus, scope, or potential targets of any such proceedings.

“Thus … we remain unable [to] provide [details about the case] without adversely affecting on-going law enforcement efforts,” he concluded.

The letter was sent on Feb. 2 but released on Monday as part of an ongoing lawsuit related to the disclosure of Clinton’s emails from conservative watchdog Judicial Watch.

Sanders Admits Receiving Free Checking from Big Banks!

FEBRUARY 5, 2016
The New Yorker
BY ANDY BOROWITZ

Scandal rocked Bernie Sanders’s Presidential campaign on Friday as the candidate was forced to admit that he received free checking from several big banks.

In a press conference in Manchester, New Hampshire, a chastened Sanders acknowledged that, over the past two decades, he received free checking from Bank of America, Citibank, and JPMorgan Chase in exchange for maintaining a five-hundred-dollar minimum balance.

“I should have acknowledged my relationship with these banks earlier,” a subdued Sanders told reporters. “For that, I am sorry.”

The news of Sanders’s ties to the banking industry comes just days after damaging reports that he leveraged his relationship with the American Automobile Association to obtain a discount on renting a Nissan Sentra.

Did you heed the warning? We're DANGEROUS...

Breaking news just after Wells Fargo paid a fine and nobody went to jail again for criminal fraud during the mortgage loan crisis. One wonders how much of the fine will defray Wells Fargo's business tax. But.... I digress, because the big fucking news is that WE, THE SANDERS CAMPAIGN...ARE DANGEROUS! We're a LITTLE OUT OF LINE!

Here's the warning we get to hear from the last person in the universe fit to pass it...

The CEO of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein, said yesterday our campaign represents a dangerous moment, "not just for Wall Street, but for anyone who is a little bit out of line."


Bernie Sanders says -
I have to say, I find it a little beyond comprehension that Lloyd Blankfein would lecture our campaign about "dangerous moments" after Wall Street received huge bailouts from the working families of this country, when their greed and recklessness caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs, livelihoods, and homes just a few years ago. His arrogance has no end.

Now Wall Street is pouring money into other campaigns. But I am here to tell you that we don’t want their money and we don’t want their super PACs. We are going to do it differently. We are going to win together on the strength of millions of small donations.

I can tell by the comments that Sanders' speech was delivered tonight...

... first time for MANY.

That's because the MSM doesn't cover him, but for those who simply did not want to hear him, THIS is why he gave his stump speech. It was the PERFECT opportunity to be heard from for the FIRST TIME!

Brilliant.

More will listen, in spite of the fucking corporate media. Those who still don't want to listen... Who knows.. But, when you DO listen, all of a sudden, the revelation of what needed to be said about America strikes them.

Imagine that!

What' we've begun tonight is a POLITICAL REVOLUTION...

When we all come together.. every one of us, many who have not been involved in the political process... and finally see that the government of our great country belongs to ALL OF US!

We are then saying TOGETHER ....


ENOUGH


is


ENOUGH!
