Cegelis was more progressive, but Rahm knee-capped her. I got so disgusted with Rahm at that point that I stopped contributing anything to the DCCC. Instead, I now contribute through ActBlue and other progressive venues.</p> <p>Bob in HI</p> The backstory on Tammy Duckworth is that she was able to win her primary against Christine Cegelis because Rahm Emmanual got the DCCC to dump millions of dollars into Duckworth’s campaign, sending national bigwigs by the truckload to the district on behalf of Duckworth.

That’s how most of the Hong Kong Chinese get in. Given the way our country is going, an exit visa costing $300,000 might not be such a bad deal. There were a lot of people in Germany who would have paid the 1938 equivalent if the option were available (which it wasn’t).</p> You don’t need $300,000 net worth to get into Canada on a special visa, you need $300,000, which you can borrow.

Very few McCain/republican signs. He gives away bumper stickers for free if they let him put them on their cars. Otherwise, they are a dollar. I’m so proud we raised an activist!</p> Thanks for the onsite reports!
