If Joe was so passionately supportive of Hillary on his LinkedIn page, how did he get a job in the Sanders campaign? And who is managing the campaign? Laurel and Hardy?

The correct question to ask is why Sanders or Senior campaign officials made these allegations.


These seem to be people on Youtube complaining. That is not the same thing a proof.

Both the Sanders' campaign and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton's campaign paid the $2,500 fee to appear on the June 14 Democratic primary ballot on time but the district's Democratic Party failed to inform the Washington D.C. Board of Elections until March 17, one day after the deadline.

And they've since LOCKED the page. That's an attention grabber for me.

I just asked him about how he got hired by the Bernie campaign while working for the Truman National Security Project. He responded with an "Lol. Really?"

So I said, "Yeah. Aren't they a Clinton Foundation funded think tank?"

I just sent an email to the guy here in Wichita KS who has been handling the phone banking and the other aspects of running a campaign for Bernie here in KS. Because of the great success experienced here, I feel sure this guy is trustworthy and MAY have some access to the people who could do something about checking on how these so-called leaders in MA and elsewhere were or were not "vetted."

It seems to me also that people like Thom Hartmann should be contacted. He's a regular reader and scanner of the DU web site so he may see it himself, but he needs to see it. I know Bernie shouldn't be distracted by something like this, but if he investigates this and it is as it seems to be, he will have a real sledgehammer to use against the Hillary campaign tactics. This little scheme really smells to high heaven and needs to be fully unmasked.

been happening everywhere. I live in Florida and have my OWN story, but from what little I listened to this may address the issue that has happened ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY! I heard a poll was out about where America rates regarding voting.

It was NUMBER EIGHT on the list of Democratic countries!!! So much for that SHINING BEACON!!! Someone stole it I guess.

it is true, there is no way to connect to the campaign office or leaders, directly - it is up to us to connect locally and regionally. however, someone is getting the info because i was recently contacted to campaign out of state.

it is up to us to be proactive and get the word out. yes, it would be nice if the campaign had a handle on the possibilities for voter fraud and a reporting page. maybe someone will put one up. but, this is grassroots. we can spread the word and do our part to not only check our registration but show others how to do it, too.

every state gov handles it differently. google is your friend.


thank you for posting, bubzer!
