Off-Topic Sanders: Secret Service money down the drain Sanders receives $1.1 million in Secret Service protection since Clinton's victory
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/05/sanders-receives-11-million-in-secret-service-protection-since-clintons-victory.html Sanders has come close to admitting his campaign is all but over, telling NBC News that "it doesn't appear that I'm gonna be the nominee." Nevertheless, he has not formally conceded, preferring to technically remain an active candidate as he takes his delegates and progressive agenda to Philadelphia and a fight for his issues on the party's platform. In between the end of the campaign trail and beginning of the convention, Sanders has returned to his regular work in the Senate. But he has drawn ire in Congress for continuing to walk around with a Secret Service entourage. One colleague in the Senate reportedly told CNN, very bluntly, that "Bernie's on an ego kick." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
