Last night Hillary Clinton hosted an outdoor fundraiser in Colorado (a state that already caucused) where "Event Chairs" could bundle $27,000 and "Champions" contributed $2,700.
But a crazy thing happened when she got ready to speak. Her campaign actually "turned on a static noise machine" pointed at the press so they couldnt hear what she was saying to the financial elite in attendance.
Look, this campaign is funded by emails like this one. So this is technically a Bernie Sanders fundraiser. No noise machine here well say it directly to you and any members of the press who are on this email list: If Bernie Sanders is elected, he is going to take on a rigged economy held in place by a corrupt campaign finance system. Hes going to fight for universal health care, keep fossil fuels in the ground, ensure no bank is too big to fail and no banker too powerful to jail.
But this is the most important three weeks of the campaign there are a lot of big primaries right around the corner. And Bernie will only get that chance if we all stand together.
You made a contribution earlier in the campaign if you match that donation today, we will have the resources we need to win this primary. Its asking a lot, but those are the stakes.
What we are proving on this campaign is that you can get elected without hustling millionaires and billionaires for money. This campaign is funded by individual contributions coming in response to emails like this one. There are no oligarchs waiting in the wings. As you go, we go.
Thats why your contribution is so important.
In solidarity,
Jeff Weaver

(25,253 posts)one would think the Press would be pissed to not have the opportunity to be able to report on a Hillary speech. One would think that this would be a big story in the MSM - that Hillary is shutting out the Press.
So far the only place that I heard or hear about Hillary's use of a 'White Noise" machine is here on DU. Why isn't this bigger news?
