Bernie: PBS interview "DWS loading convention committees with HRC supporters"

Stacking the committee's with HRC delegates prevents Bernie's agenda from becoming part of the Democrat platform, which is worked out at the convention. This is a huge problem!
____________________________________________

Sanders also defended a letter his campaign sent to Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, in which he slammed the DNC for loading Clinton supporters on the committees tasked with organizing the convention in Philadelphia in July.


“What the chairwoman has done so far is really absurd. She has stacked the deck completely,” Sanders said. “All that that letter says is treat us fairly.”

They are doing everything they can to insure Hillary loses. This whole selection has been a giant middle finger to everyone who has an ounce of progressive in them.

DWS & DNC here is a reality check... the Dem party has progressives in it...
by the 100's... 1000's .... and millions...

Wake up establishment! Open your eyes to how many agree with and prefer Bernie's platform? 'If you shut out Bernie's platform at the convention, there will be a political fight on the floor.' Bernie said that in the letter and on the air with PBS.

The Dem establishment is so resistant to moving left. What a mess!

DWS does not treat Sanders fairly, he should take it to a YUGE floor fight and if necessary, ask his delegates to walk out with the threat of an Independent run.

DWS is absolutely disgusting. She knows her days are numbered especially after supporting that pay day loan garbage.

DWS is corrupt and is corrupting the Dem party. Bernie is shedding light on all this. He has to bring his campaign to the convention and flush out the corruption.
