If Sanders campaigns in Rome to Americans aboard, is that considered a campaign activity?

I'm wondering who is paying for the Hail Mary pass.

[Else You Are Mad]

1. He is going as...

... an elected United States Senator and advocate for the issues he has fought his life time for and not as a candidate.

[hill2016]

2. so...

taxpayers are paying for this?

[Else You Are Mad]

5. They should.

... Since many other heads of state and representatives from other countries are going, we should since he will be representing the US at the event.

13. Which country do you believe he represents?

[FloridaBlues]

9. Not his campaign either his senate office or tax payers

[AgingAmerican]

12. If he is going as part of his senatorial duties, by all means the taxpayers should pay

[itsrobert]

4. Sure he is

[polly7]

6. That's great to hear.

I hope every expense is paid for. He's earned the right to attend this conference and as the next president of the United States, it will serve him and millions/billions of people around the globe well, having much-needed attention paid to the life and death implications of global poverty and inequality.

Probably will cost a lot less than even one drone strike, I'd imagine.

3. Butthurt Central is still obsessing about this?

Jealousy is a terrible affliction.

[JonLeibowitz]

7. good point! After all, Hillary still fundraises in FL after their primary.

So this is totally okay.

8. What was it when Obama was in Berlin?

[Kokonoe]

10. Would that be Americans aboard the Pope mobile?

Also hes going to the Vatican, not Rome.
