from the Clinton Campaign...I let the polite young man go on....and after several attempts to tell him, I am Not donating....I stated I, my husband and family support Bernie....he sounded So surprised if Not shocked. "Ohhh really" he said.
I went on to explain why: Democrats/Third Way/New Dem Coalition will Never have my support again-that I have Been behind Dems and have called myself a Democrat since 1959 and that "they" could gives a rats ass about My opinion, my concerns and hang up on me when I tried to Air my concerns about the direction of "my" party. That it was So many Bad Votes for NAFTA/CAFTA/DOMA/Biden Amping up the War on Drugs/Pat Act/Iraq War/Sequester/Austerity/Chained CPI Proposed By a Dem POTUS/Welfare Reform/STOCK ACT/Failure(s) to Prosecute Bankers/Failure for real Justice Reform/USPS Retirement Bill of 2006 (and more) ..... Need I go On? I asked him. Quietly, he said No. I said, Good evening to you sir. and hung up.
