DNC Spent $700+ Million on Five Consultants And Deprived Their State Organizations of Basic Funds

"For twelve years this nation was afflicted with hear-nothing, see-nothing, do-nothing government. The nation looked to government but the government looked away. Nine mocking years with the golden calf and three long years of the scourge! Nine crazy years at the ticker and three long years in the breadlines! Nine mad years of mirage and three long years of despair!

And, my friends, powerful influences strive today to restore that kind of government with its doctrine that that government is best which is most indifferent to mankind."

Franklin D. Roosevelt


"DNC Chairman Perez and allied power brokers keep showing that they’re afraid of the party’s progressive base.   No amount of appealing rhetoric changes that reality."

Norman Solomon, Battle for Democratic Party: After the Unity Reform Commission

I guess this sort of nonsense is what happens when you allow a powerful private interest like Hillary, Inc. to take over your organization and shape its mission for their own purposes.

You get a an imperious, top down operation where only a few insiders can follow the money, and the grass roots initiatives and state organizations starve from neglect.

Budgetary and fiduciary oversight and transparency within your own organization is fundamental to any good governance.   But not within an authoritarian oligarchy, which is what the DNC had apparently become.

Surprising that a community organizer wouldn't understand that.   Of course it seems like he understood very little about financial reform.   Or wanted to.

Who are these five consultants and what did they do to earn their $700 million?

It could not have had much to do with winning elections.

Read the above article by Norman Solomon from which the quote has been taken, and you may get a good idea of why genuine reform within the DNC is not likely without a unrelenting grass roots struggle.

Until then it's—  DNC RIP
