"Right before Bernie gets on stage at 8 p.m. Sunday night for the Democratic debate in Flint, Michigan, I want to be able to tell him that our campaign passed an incredible milestone: 5 million individual contributions.
So many people have stepped up since we announced our new goal. We have 4,901,844 contributions right now, which is incredible. I know Bernie would love to be able to tell the country about meeting our goal Sunday night, but right now we might fall short.
Make a $10 contribution to our campaign right now and we can meet our goal before Bernie takes the stage for Sunday's debate.
We can do this if we stand together. I'm going to give Bernie an update tomorrow morning on our progress and will report back with what he says.
Thank you for being a part of this.
In solidarity,
Jeff Weaver
Campaign Manager
Bernie 2016"

I hope they do something with it, like report on it days before the vote.

(83 posts)Donate online and more recently on paper...another way we can help Bernie before the debate is informing residents...If you know anyone in Flint or anywhere in MI
"Clinton urged Bulgarian officials to give fracking another chance..The episode sheds light on a crucial but little-known dimension of Clinton's diplomatic legacy. Under her leadership, the State Department worked closely with energy companies to spread fracking around the globe.."
With the excuses being "clean energy" (FALSE: "Methane leaks erase climate benefits of fracked gas" is only the latest 2016 report but it's been known for years known for years), fear mongering about Russia (that "terrible" country that is actually succeeding and intending to fight ISIS and Al Qaeda/Nusra and other jihadist extremist groups instead of half-heartedly fighting them but deliberately keeping them going hoping they will overthrow a secular government in Syria...so the infinitely worse pre dark ages dictatorship in Saudi Arabia with its oil, can be made happy..)
Any more excuses Hillary? Oh "increase energy supplies"? But that can be done with solar and wind and storage of energy for solar and wind has been known to be possible for years now...so no excuses. All about money and projecting imperialist power into Europe in other words...
After not calling Hillary out but just listing these official reason/excuses for the Frack push, Mother Jones does push back with:
"And according to interviews, diplomatic cables, and other documents obtained by Mother Jones, American officialssome with deep ties to industryalso helped US firms clinch potentially lucrative shale concessions overseas, raising troubling questions about whose interests the program actually serves."
Debbie the Sane Progressive on YT says "Hillary Clinton is RICK SYNDER of Fracking (DESTROYS Water)" and want MI residents to know it. In other videos, Debbie has other info,

A trove of secret documents details the US government's global push for shale gas.

And using the TPP Hillary used it to try to create new markets for U.S. corporations to sell fracked gas to...so they can make more money by increasing fracking in and polluting water in, the U.S..On the TPP:
