change the power of money. No single person
no matter how powerful he/she has a position
will be able to control, or even try to control

What lobbyists? You going to answer that? C'mon, put up or shut up. Scuba Mar 2015 #6

Well I do not need to shut up so here is the information. Thinkingabout Mar 2015 #11

BTW, your link doesn't show any hint that Bernie took money from these lobbyists ... Scuba Mar 2015 #14

Read the guest list and then read the article. Thinkingabout Mar 2015 #22

Do you have a link for the article? nm rhett o rick Mar 2015 #39

It was given in post #11 and #17 but here it is again. Thinkingabout Mar 2015 #40

The article is a typical piece of crap from Politico. rhett o rick Mar 2015 #44

And you claim it isnt true, where is your link it isnt true. Thinkingabout Mar 2015 #45

Politico didn't show any proof that Sen Sanders was there. They didn't even rhett o rick Mar 2015 #48

Denial on your part does not prove anything. Twisting the words of Politico does not prove Thinkingabout Mar 2015 #49
