Bernie's asking for money for his delegates. [View all]

[trof]

email:
"Before our nearly 1,900 delegates can vote at the Democratic convention next month, we need to actually get them to Philadelphia.

Here's the thing: our delegates are not wealthy campaign contributors. They're not party insiders or establishment elites. They're working folks, and it's not easy for many of them to fly to Philly and stay in hotels for a week.

We really need to have all of our delegates at the Democratic convention because we expect there could be critical votes for the party platform and electoral process. We'd hate to fall short on these votes because some of our delegates couldn't afford to go to the convention.

That's why I'm asking you directly:
Make a $35 contribution to our campaign before Thursday's midnight FEC deadline to help our delegates come to the Democratic convention so we can have our entire political revolution represented next month in Philadelphia."

OK, I supported Bernie and I gave $35 during the primaries, twice.
But this just puts me off.
If a delegate can't afford to make the convention, then raise the money needed among constituents, locally. Have bake sales or whatever.
I resent using Bernie's national email database to raise further funds.

The primaries are over.
Hillary won.
I support her now.
This appeal just strikes me as tacky and not at all classy.
