(53,661 posts)35. Is this email online on Sander's website? I want to post it on a board that requires a direct link.
They don't allow emails to stand as OPs.
I will link to the sign up page, but I must give a link to the text itself. I know you can't give us your email, naturally.
Thanks for the thread, the specfics quoted in the thread shows the two budgets are still very far apart.
The Koch funded obstructionism is continuing and hurting our economy and people.

If he's so concerned, why doesn't he just veto the "deal" so it doesn't reach the floor!

There are 8 groups involved, forming a coalition. Sounds like a good cause.

Of course it's good.I'm just frustrated at its eternal 'cause' status because of relentless attacks.

I don't trust either party on this. Maybe it should be a really big issue.

I don't trust either party, either, especially with the current committee makeup.

Here it is on the "Recent Business" page of his site. I quoted part of this earlier.

Okay, found this link. Lot of information, almost impossible for me to access any of it.

Thanks for a timely thread, needs to be front burner. I know M$M won't help get the word out.
