John, like too many elections in my lifetime, this race is coming down to money vs. people.
Two candidates in the race for President are funding their campaigns entirely by exciting, engaging and leading a grassroots movement of people: Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
Every other candidate in the primary, whether it’s Billionaire Mike Bloomberg, Billionaire Tom Steyer, or the billionaires for Biden (44), Buttigeig (40), and Klobuchar (21), either courts billionaires at private fundraisers or is one.
Meanwhile Fake-Billionaire Trump is courting billionaires too. The Washington Post reports that tonight Trump will hold a $580,600 per couple fundraiser at the Florida mansion of billionaire financier Nelson Peltz.
Billionaires have too much power in America already, but they don’t have the power to buy me.
Billionaires run health insurance companies that deny people care and then they buy off Washington DC to oppose Medicare for All.
Billionaires run oil and gas companies that are destroying our planet by increasing the already rapid pace of Climate Change and then buy off Washington to oppose the Green New Deal.
Billionaires use prison labor for everything from booking your next airline ticket to telemarketing calls in support of Michael Bloomberg (yeah, that happened, feel free to google it) and then they buy off Washington to oppose real criminal justice reform.
Look, the truth is there isn’t an issue in America -- problem or solution -- that the views of billionaires isn’t heard loud and clear, because billionaires own Washington DC.
The good news is billionaires don’t own you or me. Get your FREE sticker now
Our strongest candidate against fake billionaire Donald Trump and the billionaires who support him is a candidate who can’t be bought.
Let’s make sure America knows our vote won’t be bought either.
-Charles
