    I will no longer accept donations from corporate PACs, and I wanted to share why I’ve made that decision. I hope you’ll join me in doing everything we can to fight to reform our broken campaign finance system.pic.twitter.com/v2oWvEiUCe

        Ok, so no more PAC money. What about direct corporate donations from Wall Street and Big Pharma, to name a few? Will you still be accepting those?

        Corporations aren't allowed to directly donate to candidates. PACs are *the* way that corporate money gets to political campaigns.

        I have worked for corporations that send their people to these fundraisers with money in hand to donate. These are coordinated efforts. And if you are unwise to that fact, you should get out of politics.

        Okay, so is your contention that Gillibrand is knowingly participating in that kind of campaign finance violation? Because submit your complaint to the FEC if so. Otherwise don't make baseless accusations.

        It is my contention that I won't trust a single one of these two sides of the face talking people until they stop accepting from corporations or corporate representatives. When they want to engage in grassroots fundraising $27 at a time with no name attached to it I'll be content

        Fine - how about “helping to lead the way”? I think we both can agree that this is a step in the right direction, from both Sen. Sanders and Sen. Gillibrand.

        Although it would be wonderful if Sen Gillibrand actually believes this, even if she doesn't, it's still a great thing. And worse case scenario, she is savy enough to realize that this is a strong political move. Good news.

        The only person who voted "no" on every Trump appointment was Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Remember that in 2020.

        These are good things, I agree but, I judge these people by sincerity, I certainly remember a young "progressive sounding" man running for pres in 2008. Gilabrand's record is much more conservative and she certainly has been courting the same donors as HRC. Call me skeptical.

        She’s been increasingly progressive through her career, since she took over for Hillary. I don’t think she should be condemned for her learning curve when the trajectory has been pretty consistent. And she’s been a Jr senator a lot longer than Obama so the 08 comparison is unfair

        Some are saying she’s not taking PAC money or corporate donations because she’s got a ton of cash on hand. The Obama comparison was about progressive rhetoric and not action. Time will tell I am skeptical, courting Clinton’s donors over the summer, so...

        I hear you, but Hillary was certainly shown how moving left meant victory and she refused to do it even in a nominal away.

        If she truly means it, then she should return all of the PAC money in her campaign coffers.
