THE SELLOUT OF AMERICA: Rich agenda-driven networks gain heavy influence in American politics

Hillary Clinton's top Democratic money man, Jon Cooper, has halted all fundraising activities for her presidential campaign after he decided he could not support her "with a clear conscience."

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - As a New York businessman, Cooper was recruited by Clinton's team of elite fundraisers known as the "HillStarters."

However, the openly gay mogul, has publicly announced he will not tap his donor network of 10,000 people for Clinton because she has failed to give adequate answers about the Clinton Foundation's foreign donors and her use of private email servers while serving as Secretary of State.

In addition to the headline issues with Clinton's campaign, Cooper also mentions he was "disappointed with how long it took Clinton to support gay marriage as a constitutional right."

"It's just the drip, drip, drip that is a little concerning, and I just wish that there would have been a more forceful response from the Clinton campaign to some of this," Cooper explained to Washington Times. "I'm not saying there are any inherent weakness[es] in Hillary as a candidate, but there are some valid questions that are being raised by good people, and I think we need to have better answers to some of these questions."

Cooper's pullout from supporting Clinton raises questions on America's foundation. With 10,000 donors in his personal network, Cooper carries a strong hold on a candidate's fundraising. He no longer agrees with Clinton, so he took away 10,000 ways for Clinton to raise money.

The agenda-driven networks hold the cards. Cooper and his network of donors are suspected as predominantly wanting gay marriage to become a constitutional right.

"I'm going to be supporting a Democrat. I just want it to be the strongest possible candidate," Cooper said to The Washington Times noting that he is among many of party insiders "calling for a credible challenger to enter the primary race against Clinton."

It is not about the candidate's platform; it is largely up to those who have the most money. If the politicians are not in line with the money-holders, the "networks" will not provide.

As Cooper began writing a fundraising email to his large network of people, he "realized that his heart wasn't in it."

"I was sitting there trying to draft the email, and I just couldn't do it," he told The Washington Times.

News of Cooper's reluctance and departure from the Clinton fundraising team, brings to light the potential standing sellout of America. Politicians can be persuaded to follow personal agenda-driven groups in order to receive more money.
