NWCorona's JournalBernie Sanders: Incarcerating a Country (4/13/1994)
"Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) denounces the federal crime bill, arguing that Congress needs to address the very serious issues that underlie the problems of crime and addiction – poverty, hunger, unemployment, social and economic alienation; Sanders laments the attention to jails and punishment in crime prevention."
Why Hillary Supporters Called Themselves PUMA’s In ‘08
Now we hear from the Hillary Clinton camp that Bernie Sanders needs to tone it down. They say you’re allowed to keep running, but stop criticizing. But back in 2008 her supporters said the opposite. They called themselves “PUMA’s”. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Diehard Hillary Clinton supporters who still refuse to accept that the nomination race is over have given themselves a name, Pumas, and a logo that the in-house lawyers at the Puma sportswear brand might like to take a look at. In the network of blogs where the name originated, it stood for "Party Unity, My Ass!" - a defiant shout of opposition to the notion that they should fall silent in order to speed the healing of Democratic wounds. Now that the Pumas have formed their own fundraising committee, however, they seem to have had a change of heart. According to their site, Pumapac.org, Puma stands for "People United Means Action", an exactly opposite sentiment, prompting the thought that if they don't iron out such inconsistencies in their message very soon indeed, there's a serious chance that Clinton might not be the next president.”*
Watch Bill Clinton Tell Black Lives Matter Protesters They’re Defending Drug Sales and Murder
"A video, via the Weekly Standard, of Bill Clinton defending his wife's support of his own criminal justice policies against protesters at a speech in Philadelphia in very strong terms. Here's what (Bill) Clinton said:
This is what's the matter. I don't know how you would characterize the gang leaders who got 13-year-old kids hopped up on crack and sent them out into the street to murder other African-American children. Maybe you thought they were good citizens—she didn't. She didn't. You are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter."

This story is getting the much needed traction it deserves!
Big thanks to this thread for bringing this video to our attention.

Are the rules being changed in MO after the people have voted?
I'm not sure what to make of this but time is limited. Are there any Missouri residents who can validate this story.
"We have less than a day to figure this out, delegates will be voted on tomorrow evening in all counties in my district.
My father just informed me that here in Missouri, the State Democratic Party has just decided to change the interpretation of the rules by forcing all counties to allocate their delegates based on the entire congressional district's proportionality vs. the way each county voted in the presidential primary, I.e. previously delegates were allocated based on the way each county voted (see attached documentation).
For example, previously Buchanan County was to elect 10 Bernie delegates and 8 Hillary delegates to the congressional district/state convention. Now the county has been told to elect 9 Bernie and 9 Hillary delegates. Instead of using the Buchanan County's stand alone numbers, the State Party is using the combined vote of 35 counties.
We need help legally to be proactive on this; every delegate matters at this point, and this allows for a disproportionate amount to go to "the other camp."
How counties were initially proportioned
How my county has suddenly decided to be proportioned
edited for more specific wording
Edit 2 After Crunching numbers to show how this would possibly change the STATE Convention which would be representative of the national convention delegate count minus super delegates etc...
Original Allocation: Clinton-601 Sanders-629
New Allocation: Clinton - 652 Sanders - 578"

The Big Question at the Center of Hillary Clinton's Subway Turnstile Bungle
"Hillary Clinton took the New York City subway this morning, to show that she is a woman of the people. She swiped her MetroCard once, and the turnstile didn’t turn. She swiped it again—nothing. A third time—no dice. The debacle leaves one question in the minds of New Yorkers across the five boroughs.
The question is: Was Hillary getting a PLEASE SWIPE AGAIN or a SWIPE CARD AGAIN AT THIS TURNSTILE?"

I personally think this is nothing but Hillary only did this because of tokengate and it backfired. This was rookie move!
Hillary Clinton Supporter Created #HillarySoQualified — And It Immediately Backfired
"When Hillary Clinton supporter Kim Frederick created the hashtag #HillarySoQualified, the premise was simple enough. Clinton allies would tweet about her various accomplishments in public office and unite their efforts under the hashtag
Unfortunately for Frederick and other Clinton boosters, the campaign quickly went downhill before spiraling completely out of control after the hashtag was hijacked by supporters of Bernie Sanders. By early Thursday, a constellation of anti-Clinton forces were using it as a dumping ground for Clinton transgressions — both real and imagined. "

Hillary Clinton Fundraiser Hosted by All-Star Cast of Financial Regulators Who Joined Wall Street
As Hillary Clinton questions rival Bernie Sanders over the depth of his financial reform ideas this week, a group of former government officials – once tasked with regulating Wall Street and now working in the financial industry or as Wall Street lobbyists — are participating in a fundraiser for her in the nation’s capital.
The invitation for the April 6 fundraiser, obtained by Sunlight Foundation’s Political Party Time, describes a “conversation” with Hillary finance chair Gary Gensler and Senators Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Carl Levin, D-Mich.
The host: Julie Chon, a former Senate Banking Committee staffer who today is a managing director at the New York hedge fund Perry Capital.
Finance chair Gensler is a former Goldman Sachs staffer who later joined the Obama administration as a financial regulator.
Several members of the organizing committee are now either advocating for corporate clients or advising them how to evade the regulations they once enforced."
