A group of environmentalists, Bernie Sanders supporters and progressives is urging the Democratic National Committee to reverse its decision to allow donations from the fossil fuel industry.
In a letter Thursday, 20 groups told DNC Chairman Tom Perez that they were "alarmed and dismayed" at the committee's decision to reverse its prior stance that it would not accept donations from fossil fuel corporate PACs.
Groups who signed the letter include Greenpeace, 350 Action and People for Bernie.
"As you can surely understand, we were alarmed and dismayed to see the DNC reverse course after only two months," the letter read. "Taking a stand against the campaign contributions of fossil fuel executives, lobbyists, front-groups, and political action committees corrupting our democracy is a basic test of progressive leadership."
Green groups, Sanders supporters demand DNC end fossil fuel donations
Well, well, well, look at what we have here. What happened to that blue wave that was going to wipe out the Republican party? Seems to me that the DNC is getting desperate for funds and their supporters don't like it one bit.
This is like the RNC accepting donations from Planned Parenthood or the ACLU. If there is no reversal on this decision, how many will cast a protest vote for a Republican candidate? Hmmmm.
