THIS IS VERY POWERFUL,YOU SHOULD WATCH. BERNIE SANDERS.


David -
Last year, the CEO of General Motors made almost $22 million in compensation — nearly 300 times what the average worker at the company makes each year.

At the same time, GM is closing a number of profitable plants and shipping those jobs overseas, including one in Lordstown, Ohio.

I visited the Lordstown plant recently with a message for General Motors, and that is if corporations like GM think they can throw workers out on the street while they’re making billions in profits and then line up to receive even more money from federal government contracts, well… that ain’t going to happen when I am president.

We made a short video from our visit. You need to see what is happening in Lordstown. The piece is quite powerful. Watch and share it with your friends on social media:
   TWITTER  |  YOUTUBE


Lordstown is an example of the horrific impact on a small town and a community when a company like General Motors gives billions of dollars in stock buybacks to make the very rich even richer while closing down plants and shipping those jobs overseas.


I have always felt there is something profoundly wrong with people and businesses that have so much money yet still decide that they are willing to step over working people, many with families and young children, in order to get more and more.

And what we have to decide is whether in our democracy, we are going to allow a handful of businesses on Wall Street to close down profitable plants like the one in Lordstown.

What we have to decide is whether or not we should allow a company like GM — which received a $50 billion bailout from the taxpayers of this country — to throw thousands of productive workers out on the street.

To say the least, that does not show a lot of love and gratitude.

So what we are going to do on this campaign, and when I am in the White House, is tell companies like General Motors that they are going to start being good corporate citizens — that their greed is going to end.

We are going to tell them that they will no longer continue to treat their workers with disdain and contempt.

And that starts with spreading the word about what GM is doing in places like Lordstown.

So please, watch our video from Lordstown and share it on your favorite social media channels like  Twitter, and YouTube.

This is important. People need to see what is happening in Lordstown.
Thank you for sharing their story.

In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders

The Attorney General is supposed to be the people's attorney...Amy Klobuchar.


David,

Attorney General William Barr is supposed to be the people’s attorney, not the President’s attorney -- but he didn’t act like that today.

The Attorney General has made it clear time and time again that he is not impartial when it comes to Director Robert Mueller’s investigation -- whether it be his four-page summary interpreting the report before it was released to the public or the press conference he held this morning or the answers he gave to my questions at the Judiciary Committee hearing.

Americans deserve to hear from Director Robert Mueller himself. Our democracy demands it.

That’s why I am calling for Director Mueller to testify before the Judiciary Committee. Director Mueller conducted the investigation and he -- not Attorney General Barr -- should be the one to answer the questions of the American people.

Will you add your name to call for Director Mueller to testify before the Judiciary Committee and give the American people the answers they deserve?
Thank you,
Amy

TO MY READERS...

I HAVE STARTED GOING THROUGH THE RECENT RELEASE OF THE "REDACTED" MUELLER REPORT. AS I DID WITH THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, I WILL PUBLISH MY ANALYSIS IN STAGES, NOT ALL AT ONCE. IN THIS WAY IT WILL BE MORE THOROUGH, AND UNLIKE OTHER PARTS OF THE MEDIA, I WON'T FORGET ABOUT IT
AFTER A WEEK OR TWO. (LIKE THEY DID AFTER THE 2016 ELECTION, WHEN BOGUS RESULTS WERE IGNORED.)

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE,

DAVID.

A CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY. U.S. SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS.


David,

This morning, a redacted copy of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report from the Department of Justice was made public.

Attorney General Bill Barr only released this redacted report after providing a copy to the president’s personal lawyers, and after he gave a press conference on national television filled with political spin and propaganda.

Let’s be clear: Barr is acting more like Trump’s defense attorney than the nation’s Attorney General.

Congress has a constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the executive branch. As a United States Senator, I take this responsibility seriously.
(THE ITALICS ARE MINE.- DAVID)

The American people deserve the unvarnished truth -- without spin from the president’s hand-picked Attorney General.
This redacted report is not enough.

Congress needs to see the full, unredacted Mueller report and all of the investigation’s underlying evidence -- and Special Counsel Robert Mueller must testify publicly before Congress. Add your name now if you agree »


Thanks for raising your voice at this important moment for our nation. It’s up to all of us to demand the truth. I’ll be in touch as we learn more.



For The People,
Kamala.
