How about Debbie W. Schultz's scheduling Democratic Primary debates on weekends, so

that Sanders will get as little public exposure as possible? Fox News and the Main Stream
Media are already doing the same thing. DWS is showing her efforts in doing everything
possible to help Hillary beat Sanders. The actions of the Chairperson of the DNC are
supposed to be impartial and fair towards all Democratic candidates for the presidency.
Is she being impartial and neutral?

Do Debbie W. Schultz's actions above also merit an investigation? And can we demand one?

running as a presidential candidate - in spite of all the inaccurate Fox News and
MSM polling reports saying that he is the underdog - he keeps right on fighting,
and is the only candidate whose number of donors has reached beyond the
2 million mark. He is winning slowly but steadily, in spite of all the forces that
are against him. He hasn't lost his cool. He is in there to win.

Those schedules were set back in June or so. They easily could have set up more and they easily could have not used the "exclusive rule" that the republicans have used for decades. Both the O'Malley and the Sanders campaign spoke out against the DNC on this matter at the time.

DWS was adamant in keeping it as it was.


So yeah... we are blaming DWS on this one.

the only one who has ever had 2,000,000+ grassroots donors for his campaign so far, and
the numbers are growing. There is a thread nearby saying that because of this recent
action on the part of DWS, the number of donors for Sanders' campaign will now
QUADRUPLE!!! I hope he is right.

Her tricks very much resemble those which have been used for the longest time by our
friends, the Republicans.

donations directly to those of my choice. DNC doesn't get a cent from me.

I was fortunate enough to learn that lesson years ago. Now, my support, my donations, and my vote must be earned by anyone that wants them. Political organizations and politicians burned that bridge by forgetting what they promise in their campaigns and forget as soon as they take office.

Never again.
