My comments to the DNC that I sent today.

84. We obviously have a lot of Tea Party types here in my neck of the woods.

I just ask them to check out a Bernie video and listen with an open mind. I tell them that if they dig deep enough into what he is about they will actually like what they hear. He wants to cut corporate welfare and bring jobs here for Americans. He wants to make government more efficient and cut waste like in the Pentagon where they cannot even be audited and have just "lost" hundreds of billions of dollars.

We have our work cut out since we are really fighting the corporate juggernaut. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been funding all of the state and local races which give them control of the state's. They found that it doesn't take much money relative to national politics. They also do insidious little things like start a bunch of newspapers that they put outside the jury assembly rooms to poison the juries against plaintiffs. Just google the Southest Texas Record; New Orleans Record; and the West Virginia Record to name a few. They were started in areas that they had labeled "Judicial Hellholes" because juries were still holding corporations accountable. They do not list themselves anywhere in their papers, in fact, the first 6 months of the Southeast Texas Record they did not even sell ads until they realized people were seeing through their facade because there was no revenue generation.

Your are right, we have to take them on anywhere and everywhere which is why Publicly Funded Elections are so important. That is really the main battle! If we win that they lose control over our politicians! We really cannot call them "OUR" politicians at this point since they only respond to Donors. Even Republicans are fed up with this, they just don't realize the extent that they have been used and propagandized!
