Needs to be followed. I would like to follow the money with congressional members also.

It's really not having the desired effect. There must be some other reason Bernie can't catch up in the polls and endorsements.

And follow the moneyed interests that are putting together polls to get results that they want.
Don't believe the polls, even if they are from "reliable" sources. Many of these sources are looking for results that will state that the corporatist candidate is winning. Don't ask me to do your homework for you either. You can find the methodology right in their explanation of their polls. You have to dig a little, but you can find it. Every one of them is biased in one way or another.

but he should also took a stand against the gun and private prison lobby. I agree with him 100% on Wall St. and the "too big to fail"" banks, BTW, just wish he'd take a stronger stand against gun violence. That's his one weakness. I'm still voting for him and hoping this carnage will bring him to the table on guns.
