Would Bernie do this?:
Hillary Clinton, seeking a governing coalition if she wins the White House, is pumping millions of dollars into key battleground states at the heart of her presidential map and Democrats quest to regain control of the Senate, the AP reports.
The Democratic National Committee and state parties are spending about $2 million initially to build coordinated campaigns in eight battleground states with competitive Senate races. The money is being raised by Clintons campaign through her Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee that allows Clinton to raise large checks of more than $350,000 from wealthy donors.
Democrats say the coordinated effort, now a staple in presidential campaigns, will try to build up the partys network of field organizers earlier in the election and work more closely with Senate, House and state and local campaigns than in previous election cycles.

But if we win back the Senate and have a poor turn out in the off year elections we could lose it again.
Let's not indulge the "I won't vote" cry babies and get some real change while we have the power in our hands.
Progressive change will happen only if we vote!

I'm really impressed with the network and planning that is in place.
