2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI am not articulate online but I can be on the phone
I will be making calls every day until election day. They don't get to put innocent lives on the line by closing down the Clinton Foundation. If you are talking shit about the foundation on a supposed progressive board JPR then you will also have the blood of those innocent people on your hands. Your Hillary hate is now putting lives in danger and to that I say Oh hell no you don't. Please don't pretend to care about Progressives and try to get a very Progressive charitable foundation closed down. Rant Off
Thank you, rbrnmw.

(10,406 posts)It's time to shut down the hate and spread the love! The Clinton Foundation makes it possible for half the people with AIDS in the world to receive the medicine they need to stay alive. This latest RW smear campaign to try and shut the Clinton Foundation down is a step too far. Everyone needs to stand up and fight back!

(58,785 posts)talking about the Foundation? Will you tuck that into regular GOTV/candidate work? I'd like to mention it, but right now my calls are for registering and down-ballot candidates and I don't see a natural connection in my spiel.
Fwiw, I believe I detected some push-back by HRC and her team on this "closing down"/divesting nonsense this morning, a strong statement that they had no intention of allowing harm to recipients of their charities, leading me to guess that she already may be empowered by positive feedback. In any case, the definite message was that they had no intention of causing harm by acceding to slime-media pressures. We'll see how this plays out.

They care nothing for those in need right in front of them... What are the faceless people helped by the CF to them?
Nothing.

(24,402 posts)Closing the Foundation would be crazy. They do so much good work, and are especially needed for AIDS medication. The lefties who have jumped on this should be ashamed.

Many of the US and EU food drives actually forces local farmers in poor countries to lose their fields. The US and EU subsidizes food and sends it to countries, to sell at 1/4th the price local farmers can grow their crops, which causes them to lose their farms to BigAg.
The World Band and other US institutions try to push loans onto countries, knowing that the money will not be used for the purposes intended, and then places them into a servitude state, where they are forever bound to pay back the notes. They then dictate how the countries should operate and who they should deal with. These countries are set up to have such a high debt load that it is near impossible to emerge and grow the country. This keeps them as a supplier of cheap raw materials.
Meanwhile, the Clinton Foundation is helping millions fight the battle against AIDS and provide other services that help to empower emerging economies. This is contrary to the conservative desires to force other countries into abject poverty status, hence the objection to this organization.

You are very articulate indeed - clear, concise, and to-the-point.
WELL SAID, WELL DONE!!!!!
