Common Cause Files Complaint Against Pro-Bernie Sanders Group Our Revolution for Violating Soft Money Ban - Common Cause
Today, Common Cause filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging reason to believe that Our Revolution, a nonprofit political organization established by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in 2016 and now supporting his 2020 presidential campaign, violated the federal ‘soft money’ ban. Sen. Sanders has been a longtime critic of super PACs and so-called “Dark Money” groups. The complaint documents that Our Revolution has solicited contributions explicitly to elect Sanders president, received contributions far in excess of the applicable $5,000 contribution limit and spent funds in connection with federal elections, including current voter mobilization efforts supporting Sanders in Iowa.
According to Our Revolution’s tax returns showing contribution amounts but not contributor names, data compiled and first reported by the Associated Press, from 2016 to 2018 Our Revolution raised almost $1 million dollars from contributors who gave in excess of the applicable $5,000 contribution limit, including multiple contributions of between $100,000 and $300,000. Our Revolution has not disclosed any of its contributors to the FEC, as required by federal campaign finance law.

Our Revolution has taken in nearly $1 million from donors who gave more than the limits and whose identities it hasn’t fully disclosed, according to tax filings for 2016, 2017 and 2018. Much of it came from those who contributed six-figure sums.
It won’t have to publicly reveal its 2019 fundraising until after this year’s presidential election. And money it raises between now and then won’t have to be disclosed until the following year.

I'm ready to fukk around and break some shyt in Milwaukee this summer
In some ways, the lack of winner take all the delegates helps Bernie but it also hurts. It helps in that he can still get delegates in the south even though he probably isn't winning those states. It hurts because the first contests, California (biggest delegate count) are ripe..
But if these nominations go through... Bernie without a majority of pledged delegates will be knee capped by the super-delegates on the 2nd ballot.
They'd rather lose to Trump than have Bernie as the nominee

Again. Damn. 
I have ideas about this. But I won't go there.
With this though, Trump might be wild out mode for the next 3 months.

Bernie would crush Trump if he was the nom.
AOC is so geeky
I love her though
Imagine if one of us was in her position? A nobody less than two years ago and working in restaurants to Congress and now national surrogate for a leading presidential hopeful
