I just received a solicitation email from DWS...

It started like this:

Well, "mak3cats", a couple days ago, my Republican colleagues allowed a clean spending bill to move forward and avoided a government shutdown. At least for now.

But I'm not expecting any applause -- and you certainly shouldn't give any.

And this was my reply:

To: Debbie Wasserman Schultz

I'm glad you're not expecting any applause, because you certainly won't be getting any from me. You also will not be getting one single dime from me as long as the Democratic primary debates are so few and scheduled so blatantly badly as to suppress viewership. What kind of a Democrat are you? Oh, that's right. The kind that favors Republicans over Democrats running in your own state. You are a complete failure as a leader of the party. It's time for you to go.

I hear Independent and I hear Democrat Socialists. Maybe he will find himself. As far as I can tell the other candidates call themselves Democrats, only one wavering is Bernie so he must be the fake Democrat. He also said he would follow the DNC rules, he seems to be following the rules, maybe his supporters will soon follow the rules also.

...the airwaves are full of Republican candidates, and the only Democratic candidate getting any air time is HRC, and mostly negative coverage (fair or not). Our BRAND is not being put forward, and that's the real issue here. It's not just the presidential candidates, but all the down-ticket candidates are being stiffed too.

If Bernie were to run as an independent, there won't be a Democrat in the White House in 2017.

He at least has the decency to realize that and not put his ego ahead of what is best for the country.

what the results of the DNC, DSCC and DCCC are going to be. I also do not send anything their way. I do not plan to support DLC candidates if I can help it.

All the e-mails she has been sending me are very clear that they know that I am not supporting them and they also tell me how much trouble they are in financially.

Sooner or later we should be able to get their attention.

Very rarely is there any information of any consequence. More often than not, it's a request for money. Even got one from her mother and one from her husband asking for donations to her PAC as a birthday present for her.
