Full title: Cha-CHING! DNC Charges 2020 Dems Big Money For Access To Voter Data But That's Not Their Only Contingency

The Democratic Party's field continues to grow, making it more difficult for lesser known candidates to set themselves a part from their competitors with greater name recognition and more money. The Democratic National Committee, however, is making things even tougher for their 2020 candidates by implementing a number of contingencies for access to DNC's voter database, BuzzFeed News reported.

In order to get their hands on the 50-state database, the 22 Democrats must:
• Agree to pay $175,000 for access to the data.
• Appear at at least one DNC fundraising event every quarter, dubbed "signature events."
• Sign at least one DNC fundraising email every quarter, with the raised funds evenly split between the party and the candidate.
• Record a short video expressing their support for the DNC.

Even after a candidate drops out of the race before the general election, he or she would still be required to fundraise for the DNC.

The move is a clear indication that Perez is worried about fundraising heading into the next election cycle. As of now, the RNC sits at $45.8 million for this election cycle with no debt. The DNC, on the other hand, sits at $20.9 million with $6.6 million in debt.

The Republican National Committee had a record breaking February, when $14.6 million was raised. It was the largest amount ever raised for the month of February in a non-election year. It was the second largest amount ever raised, with the record breaking year being in during 2004's presidential election.

Under Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel's leadership, the RNC began fundraising early on. The focus was on what President Donald Trump did in his first 500 days in office. Over the course of five months the RNC dropped videos touting the president's success, which is believed to be the reason for the midterm success.

The DNC's contingencies are far different from the RNC's requirements back in 2016. The RNC provided the voter data list, with an estimated $250 million value, to campaigns for free. The only contingency was that campaigns also shared their data with the RNC to help grow the voter data and support the eventual nominee.

According to BuzzFeed, a few Democratic candidates agreed to the DNC's conditions, although who they are remains a mystery.

The 2015 clash began when multiple Sanders aides were caught taking advantage of a glitch in the DNC’s voter software, allowing them to access proprietary Clinton data. In response, the DNC chair at the time, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, temporarily blocked Sanders from using the voter file. About a month away from the Iowa caucuses — the first contest in the Democratic nominating process — the Sanders camp accused the DNC of deliberate sabotage.

“If the DNC continues to hold our data hostage,” Sanders’s 2016 campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, said during a press conference that week, “and continues to try to attack the heart and soul of our grassroots campaign, we will be in federal court this afternoon seeking immediate relief.”

The meagre $20 million dollars the DNC currently has on hand could represent a single donation from George Soros’s petty cash drawer.

When a political party has destroyed itself to the extent that it has to extort money from its own candidates to remain in business, the end is near.

“”Nancy Pelosi - Bank of America $5,000.00 - $15,000,000,000.00””

Let me see if I have this straight - example:

Pelosi got a $5,000.00 donation from B of A and B of A got $15,000,000,000.00 from TARP?

Why did donations go only to Pelosi and Hoyer AND the DCCC? No other politicians were involved?

Did you by any chance add up the funds received from TARP? I can do it but curious if you did it.

It means regular Dems won’t give the DNC money so they’re forced to extract it in other ways to stay in business.

The founding fathers warned us against it were completely against political parties

Our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump and the Revolution he’s leading is not I repeat is not a republican revolution

This is the second American revolution contrary to both political parties

The Democrats are merely the All out gloves off warring party against this revolution.

They will do anything like slander whatever it takes to defeat the great and incredible progress that we’ve been making under our wonderful president Donald J Trump

The feckless week Republican Party is slowly but Shirley getting rid of all of the Democrats in sheep’s clothing

This will take a couple of elections but at some point we should’ve pretty much clean house

At that point then the “Republican” party will have completely morphed into the American party. Or the pro American party

The other side is already on record as being anti-America

YOU AINT SEEN NuTTIN' YET:

CIRCA 2009 EXCERPT---FOURTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS Behind The Real Size of the Bailout;
A guide to the abbreviations, acronyms, and obscure programs that make up the $14 trillion federal bailout of Wall Street
SOURCE motherjones.com --- Mon Dec. 21, 2009 12:23 PM PST

The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is popularly put at $787 billion—---the actual size of TARP--the Troubled Assets Relief Program. But TARP is just the best known program in an array of more than 30 overseen by Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that have paid out or put aside untraceable money to bail out financial firms and inject money into the markets.

To get a sense of the size of the real $14 trillion bailout, see MJ chart at web site. A guide to the pieces of the puzzle includes massive untraceable Treasury Department bailout programs.

Money Market Mutual Fund: In September 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel announced that it would insure the holdings of publicly offered money market mutual funds. According to the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), these guarantees could have potentially cost the federal government more than $3 trillion [PDF].

Public-Private Investment Fund: This joint Treasury-Federal Reserve program bought toxic assets from banks and brokerages—as much as $5 billion of assets per firm. According to SIGTARP, the government's potential exposure from the PPIF is between $500 million and $1 trillion [PDF].

TARP: As part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel made loans to or investments more than 750 banks and financial institutions. $650 billion has been paid out (not including HAMP; see below). As of December 21, 2009, $117.5 billion of that has been repaid.

Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) stock purchase: The Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel bought $200 million in preferred stock from Fannie Mae and another $200 million from Freddie Mac [PDF] to show that they "will remain viable entities critical to the functioning of the housing and mortgage markets."

GSE mortgage-backed securities purchase: Under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel may buy mortgage-backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. According to SIGTARP, these purchases could cost as much as $314 billion ---SNIP---

whoa. Let’s step to the distance for a moment. Hillary! bankrolled the dead-broke DNC in 2016, under an unpublicized agreement with terms of repayment. So how much of the ‘registration fee’ and how much of the fundraising is going back into her pocket? Enquiring minds want to know.

Another slight point - will the Indies, who mostly vote Dem, be mandated into participating in pro-DNC commercials?

This could get fun.

“Tom Perez is just making sure he raises enough money to keep him in the lifestyle he’s accustomed to.”

Yep. His foremost concern is to make sure his paychecks and expense checks don’t bounce.

Thank you - something to chew on. There has to be more as I only got 1.2 trillion $$$ from the figures on the other post - at least I think it’s trillion - if I added right. Not easy to do with all the 000,000,000,000. It’s really funny to see the small amount of donations in relation to the payouts they got - how do we get returns like that? First Horizon made a donation of $250.00 and got $866,540,000.00.

And we’re supposed to trust anyone in government? Not on your life! I wouldn’t even trust the lowly parking attendant.

I think there were people in the Bush administration that were even worse at Math than I am...We come up with trillions and they talked billions. What a joke but the joke was on us, I guess.

“”The TARP program originally authorized expenditures of $700 billion. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 created the TARP program. The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, signed into law in 2010, reduced the amount authorized to $475 billion. By October 11, 2012, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stated that total disbursements would be $431 billion, and estimated the total cost, including grants for mortgage programs that have not yet been made, would be $24 billion.[1]””
