State Level campaign directives that sabotaged Bernie Sanders GOTV and canvassing efforts in Western

MA. The Sane Progressive has Stephen Coyne on to tell the story....RI and CONNECTICUT are in big danger unless this Clinton supporting State Field Director is FIRED.


Published on Mar 30, 2016·(sources and links below): Stephen Coyne joins Debbie today to talk about State Level campaign directives that sabotaged Bernie Sanders GOTV and canvassing efforts in Western MA....Events were canceled, orders to not open campaign office given, out of date/old roles substituted for up to date available canvassing apps and data, canvassing material denied. The former MA Field Director for Sanders Joe Caizzo & his parter Karen Clawson Cosmas are employs of Truman Foundation....The directives given for the campaign worked AGAINST the interests of Sanders in MA. However, beyond the state level apparent sabotage is a LARGER question: Who HIRED a Truman Foundation political partner to run the State Level Bernie Sanders campaigns in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut? The Truman Foundation was founded by Rachel Kleinfeld, the personally appointed Hillary Clinton advisor for Foreign Policy as SOS until 2104 and staffed by a long list of her allies. Additionally, the Truman Project is partnered with the Center for National Policy and the CHAIR of that project is HILLARY CLINTON'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER. The board is FILLED with Clinton's tightest political allies. It borders on twilight zone absurd that any employ from this agency would be allowed anywhere near the Sanders campaign.

This shit is probably happening in every state.

WHO IS HIRING THESE PEOPLE? That question must be answered!

but the Democratic party gave the nomination to Humphrey. And the DNC gave the presidential race to Nixon.

the Sanders campaign needs to address them immediately & explain. But Debbie seems very articulate & believable to me, as does her guest in this video, as did Niko House in N.C. If these reports have some merit, the campaign needs to address them immediately as well.

Did happen in Illinois!

The campaign needs to take heed of her warnings and they seem to be ignoring them.

6. I remember asking why there were no stand-outs at the polls on Prmary day in my MA town.

Many of my MA Democratic friends noted the same experience in their towns.

The answer I got was it took too much money and effort to do signs and stand-outs just for a primary election.
We were to keep our powder dry until the General in Nov.

Now it all begins to make sense.
