  3. Watch out Joe.

    Indian girl sneaking up on you, bigtime.

    I have not looked at this article in detail, but the statement below says "through SuperTuesday" contests. Yowzer. Keep in mind too, that this is the first time that California has been moved up to also vote on SuperTuesday, and California has about- I think- 25% of total dem delegates in the country.

    Note to Joe: Start campaigning harder, much harder. Not less as your handlers are telling you. This is a blood sport not a spectator sport. I mean if you can. But if you can't, well then, Sayanora Joe. Time to say goodbye. Or go down the hard way.


    "More broadly, in aggregate vote preference across the early-state contests through Super Tuesday 2020 — the most important contests up front — Warren has risen and holds a one-point edge over Biden. "

    This movement is all about access.

    Elizabeth doesn't reserve her time for special interests or big donors. We don't hold fancy fundraisers available to the highest bidder, and we don't call up corporate executives asking for money — not every campaign can say that.

    Everyone who wants to be a part of our grassroots movement has access to this campaign, no matter what. That's why we're offering this chance to automatically enter to meet Elizabeth!

    Elizabeth can't wait to meet you and learn all about why you're a part of this fight.

  6. Best week evah for the Indian girl.

    - Two polls show that she has gained 5-9% with blacks.

    - Non-stop talk about Biden corruption.

    - Bernie's health takes a hit.


    Can't get luckier than than. She should be able to nibble at least a couple points from both Biden and Bernie as a result.

    Extreme liberal Democrats already challenged President Donald Trump in court and lost! He has the right to reallocate funds as needed! He does not need the permission of the extreme liberal Democrats to fund the wall. Now, if the Democrats do not want President Donald Trump to reallocate funds from the Department of Defense, they just have to approve border wall funding, plain and simple.

  8. Just got my daily "if it moves or exists, I am going to tax it" memo from Pocahonky.

    I guess her plan to cut down on lobbying influence is to start funding federal agencies with lobbying money.

    What could go wrong there?

    Corporate interests spend more on lobbying than we spend to fund both houses of Congress — $2.8 billion last year alone.

    But corporate lobbyists also swarm our federal agencies, like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

    Corporate lobbyists are experts at killing widely popular policies behind closed doors. They've defended predatory financial advisors against new rules, made sure fossil fuel companies can continue emitting greenhouse gases, and helped payday lenders whisper into the ears of the Trump administration and cripple consumer protection rules. They'll do whatever it takes to maximize their profits — even if it comes at the expense of working people.

    We need to fight back, so I've released the most sweeping set of anti-corruption reforms since Watergate. Under my plan, we will end lobbying as we know it.

    My plan also calls for something unique — a new tax on excessive lobbying on every corporation and trade organization that spends over $500,000 per year on lobbying. Every dollar raised by the tax will be placed into a new Lobbying Defense Trust Fund dedicated to helping Congress and federal agencies fight back.


    Companies that spend between $500,000 and $1 million per year on lobbying will pay a 35% tax on those expenditures. For every dollar above $1 million, the rate will increase to 60% — and for every dollar above $5 million, it will increase to 75%.

    Some of the companies that would have to pay the tax? Koch Industries, Pfizer, Boeing, Microsoft, Walmart, and Exxon.

    And nobody will be surprised that the top five industries that would have paid the highest lobbying taxes over the last ten years are: Big Pharma, health insurance companies, oil and gas companies, Wall Street firms, and electric utilities.

    With the revenue from this new tax, we will establish a new Lobbying Defense Trust Fund, which will help our government fight back against the influence of lobbyists.

    First, we'll use the Lobbying Defense Trust Fund to strengthen congressional support agencies. This lobbying tax revenue would help to reinstate the Office of Technology Assessment and increase the budget for agencies like the Congressional Budget Office.

    Second, we'll give more money to federal agencies that are facing significant lobbying activity. Every time a company spends more than $500,000 lobbying against a rule, the taxes on that spending will go directly to the agency.

    Third, revenue from the lobbying tax will help to establish a new Office of the Public Advocate. This office will help the American people engage with federal agencies and fight for the public interest in the rule-making process.

    My new lobbying tax will make hiring armies of lobbyists significantly more expensive for the largest corporate influencers like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Boeing, and Comcast.

    It's just one more example of the kind of big, structural change we need to put power back in the hands of the people — and break the grip that lobbyists have on our government for good.



    Thanks for being a part of this,

    Elizabeth
