That list is the core of Sanders movement, it'd be a terrible shame

for it to be turned into a tool for establishment party hacks harassing people for money with supper-time begging for money.

I really don't have a feeling that list would do the third-wayers much good. I don't think in WI, imo, it would do Tammy Baldwin or Ron Kind very little good.

If Sanders were listening to me on this he'd hear me saying that preserving, using and building on that list is really what separates his campaign and reform movement from those that collapsed with the general election. It shouldn't be handed to people who oppose and actively work against that reform.

I can understand if his campaign goes in debt and selling it is the only way out, but still that'd be a terrible terrible shame

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
