99% Party: Sanders Supporters Shower Clinton Motorcade with 1000 $1 Bills
Actor George Clooney hosted a couple of obscenely expensive fundraising events for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign on Friday and Saturday nights. 1%er couples needed to pony up $353,400 to buy access. Saturday's event was at Clooney's home at 7:00 pm.
At the same time, Howard Gold, Clooney's next-door neighbor, hosted a $27 per person fundraiser in support of Bernie Sanders, Clinton's rival for the Democratic nomination, according to The Hill.
Gold, whose family founded the 99 Cents Only store chain, called his event the "99% Party.'' The email invitation to the 99% party read, "Swimming pools, Movie Stars and merriment for all! This is happening right next door to Clooney's party for Hillary!'' according to The Hill.
Gold supplied supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders with thousand-dollar bills to shower down on Hillary Clinton's motorcade Saturday as it passed Gold's home and approached Clooney's Studio City home.
The first three lines from the 1933 song commonly known as "We're in the Money'' could be heard on speakers at Gold's house as the motorcade passed by.
Urgent. It's never been this bad.
Dear Common Dreams reader, It’s been nearly 30 years since I co-founded Common Dreams with my late wife, Lina Newhouser. We had the radical notion that journalism should serve the public good, not corporate profits. It was clear to us from the outset what it would take to build such a project. No paid advertisements. No corporate sponsors. No millionaire publisher telling us what to think or do. Many people said we wouldn't last a year, but we proved those doubters wrong. Together with a tremendous team of journalists and dedicated staff, we built an independent media outlet free from the constraints of profits and corporate control. Our mission from the outset was simple. To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good. Building Common Dreams was not easy. Our survival was never guaranteed. When you take on the most powerful forces—Wall Street greed, fossil fuel industry destruction, Big Tech lobbyists, and uber-rich oligarchs who have spent billions upon billions rigging the economy and democracy in their favor—the only bulwark you have is supporters who believe in your work. But here’s the urgent message from me today. It’s never been this bad out there. And it’s never been this hard to keep us going. At the very moment Common Dreams is most needed and doing some of its best and most important work, the threats we face are intensifying. Right now, with just four days to go in our Spring Campaign, we are not even halfway to our goal. When everyone does the little they can afford, we are strong. But if that support retreats or dries up, so do we. Can you make a gift right now to make sure Common Dreams not only survives but thrives? There is no backup plan or rainy day fund. There is only you. —Craig Brown, Co-founder |
