'State Parties Sign Fund-Raising Pacts for that other candidate?

I understand if this gets locked but I think Bernie supporters, especially in the 4 states that signed on, need to see this thread in GDP: "State Parties Sign Fund-Raising Pacts With Clinton Campaign" and start raising a stink. State Democratic Parties are creating "Victory Funds", 50% of which will go to Clinton. So far a small fraction of the states they contacted already agreed- New Hampshire, Mississippi, Virginia and Wisconsin. Arkasnas and New York sound like they're about ready to. The others are keeping mum or are still considering.

As if limiting the debates didn't spell it out already.

If I shouldn't have posted this here, I apologize.'

1. I am pissed off about this.

Is the solution to object, or to have the your candidate enter into similar agreements - and if so, would they share equally with the money going to Hillary? (as if!) Or has Hillary got these deals all sewn up?

2. I suspect she's got a number of them sewed up,

I'd like to take our clues from our candidate, strategy-wise. I hope he's aware, and can give us some clues.

I'm not at all clear about how they would/will work, and suspect 'sharing' agreements.

4. If I can, I will try to ask about this tonite on the conference call with the campaign.

I do not like this at all.

The Clinton Campaign seems to want to starve the other campaigns of funds and that really is just bad optics, considering the amount of money the campaign already has.

5. Good. I did think about that/your contact

(and UNhappy about the VA situation; had forgotten about mcauliffe's relationship.)
