Bernie just welcomed a MAJOR ENDORSEMENT from Erin Bilbray!! A Super Delegate!!

[Playinghardball]

>snip<

"I have spent my entire career working to engage women in the political process," Bilbray said. "But at this point the biggest threat to American democracy is the dark money from super PACs that are controlling our elections. Government cannot focus on all of the important issues that affect America’s working families when a handful of super wealthy donors, in both parties, have the ability to predetermine who will win the election. Senator Bernie Sanders has denounced all super PACs and will continue to fight for the future of the middle class. As a mother of two young daughters, their future is my priority, which is why I am endorsing Bernie Sanders as the Democratic nominee for president of the United States."

1. This ^ is what we love to see, just before Iowa & NH. WOOT! n/t

21. Maybe Sanders' superdelegates kept / are keeping their powder dry

until the moment the announcement matters most. At this point, Clinton has shot most of her powder, and even if she'd shoot some more, it wouldn't make an impression anymore. Sanders however...

5. No matter what, we still need to win Iowa and NH

As much as I love to hear that there are people out there in positions of power that share our values and can throw their metaphorical weight behind our candidate, we need to deliver wins in Iowa and NH first and foremost!

22. Thanks Erin!

[Duckfan]

23. And double Thanks Erin and to Erin Brockovich

The moral of this story is if you are sitting out in the middle of a lake, everyone around you is catching, but your line hasn't even moved, eventually after getting that sunburn you will catch something to make it worthwhile.

And yes, I said Erin Brockovich who endorsed Bernie first part of the month, or end of Nov.

28. I'm very happy to see this Bilbray still in politics and not her father's cousin Brian...

... who used to be my Republican rep in San Diego after a stressful and controversial runoff election to replace Randy Duke Cunningham then. She sounds to be QUITE DIFFERENT than Brian...

Interesting note here on how both her father and his cousin became lobbyists after they left congress. I wonder if there are personal stories there that has lead her to take such strong (and ADMIRABLE) stances against the influences of dark money on congress here in her endorsement of Bernie. It's great to see how a new generation can start leaning the right (correct that is) way on getting money out of politics. And that she's expressing strong concerns here for her children with this endorsement too. I wonder if her father and his cousin will endorse her position here too.

25. I can't wait to see the numbers on how much money..................................

or donations from the average Mr and Mrs John Doe in this quarter, prior to the end of the year reporting to the FEC, and how much the PAC's have given ................................this is the litmus test-------------a critical one at that..............



I have given "all" of my hard earned money to Sanders and to "Progressives" only, because .....................of "trade deals", and the continued attack on Social Security and Medicare, labor rights, environmental, USDA, FAA, ect..................





Honk----------------------for a political revolution it is about getting a progressive U.S. Supreme Court, Congress, Sate legislatures and Governors and a President
