How can he legally use our tax money for this?

(Mayhap this is why he is so adament in keeping his blackberry - which is a dangerous security breach...he needs to be able to by-pass the normal channels and get directly to his politburo)

This isn't tax money, this is 'private" money, collected and administered by the party. They only intend to organize democrats, although public agitprop is aimed toward widening the base. They were able to collect and spend almost a billion dollars during just one election cycle, for one candidate. Imagine how much easier it will be to do that now that they own the government, from top to bottom. Party organizations parallel to state agencies are a major feature of totalitarian movements in our lifetimes. We should keep a close eye on this stuff.

“If I’m doing something stupid, somebody in Chicago can send me an email and say, ‘What are you doing?’

“I want to be able to have voices, other than the people who are immediately working for me, be able to reach out and send me a message about what’s happening in America.”

He is entirely clueless about the amount of email that gets sent ...clueless.
