It's time for Americans to stand up for our right to life and the liberty not to have to worry if our loved ones will make it home from a school, shopping mall or movie theater because every bedwetter and lunatic is packing heat.

I'm all in for draconian measures.

1. No CCP unless you've passed extremely stringent background/psychological checks, extensive training/testing and you need it in the course of your business.

2. No assault rifles, period. (Tough shitski, join the army.)

3. If you want to hunt, fine. See #1 Long guns only, no semi autos.

I have no problem with #2, but you would lose me on #1 and #3.

More than two million donations have been made to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, the campaign announced Wednesday.

The Communications Workers of America will endorse Bernie Sanders in Washington on Thursday, according to a source with knowledge of the endorsement.

Despite a long record of supporting unions and marching on picket lines, Sanders has struggled to lock down national union endorsements. With 700,000 members, the Communications Workers of America is the largest union to endorse the Vermont senator.

Bernie Sanders picked up his second significant progressive endorsement of the day on Thursday afternoon, and this one might sting for Hillary Clinton.

Democracy For America, the 1 million-member liberal group that helped stoke much of the pro-Elizabeth Warren movement early in the 2016 election cycle, is backing the independent Vermont senator after he earned 88 percent of the over 270,000 votes cast in the group’s online membership poll, compared with 10 percent for Clinton and 1 percent for both Martin O’Malley and the option not to endorse at all.

The move is significant given DFA's high threshold for endorsing. The group has existed since 2004, and no candidate had ever previously made it past the two-thirds mark necessary for the nod — which will come with fundraising help and an on-the-ground organization in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, DFA executive director Charles Chamberlain wrote in an email due to go to supporters on Thursday.

DFA's endorsement is big.

The DNC deliberately sabotages Berni's campaign.

If they don't reverse this and damned soon they will be sorry.

This is enough to cause me to not support Hillary in the general and there are millions of Bernie's supporters that feel the same way.

Count me in too. We have a very weak candidate in HRC and she is being shoved down our throats. This is contrary to democratic principles. Good news is that if she is the eventual nominee, she will win CA without my vote.

Anyone know what she stands for other than being able to nominate SCOUTS justices if she becomes Presidentress?

She'll have to win the general without mine too.

I am not going to vote for someone that plays dirty like this.

Unless this gets reversed real fast, the Green Party will get my vote in November if Bernie isn't on the ballot.

This crap is totally outrageous. I wish the "liberal media" would inform America of what's really going on here, but when we have them barely willing to call out Fiorina on her bs for example, I suppose that's unlikely.

The Sanders campaign is just wrapping up a press conference on the issue. They say that they'll be in Federal court this afternoon if the DNC doesn't back down. Apparently, there was an earlier data breach in October. The Sanders campaign alerted the DNC to that fact and believed that another campaign had accessed their data.

There's a petition at MoveOn.org demanding that the DNC immediately allow the Sanders campaign access to their own data. If you think this is a disgrace, sign it and please consider contributing to the Sanders campaign.

Josh Uretsky got caught with his hand in Hillary's cookie jar and got shit canned for his trouble. Oops.

Once Bernie assures the DNC that the cookies have been fed to the dogs, he'll regain access and all will be forgiven.
