Hedge fund manager and Democratic billionaire mega-donor Tom Steyer (http://fortune.com/2018/01/08/tom-steyer-donald-trump-midterms/)said Wednesday that he will refrain from donating to national Democratic Party committees following the vote in Congress to re-open the government before reaching an immigration deal.
“I don’t have a litmus test on any one thing, but I do have a litmus test for elected officials standing on principle and doing the right thing, looked at holistically. And I want to say that after the DACA vote I have decided not to give anything to the national party committees,” Steyer said in an interview with Fortune Wednesday.
When asked if this included the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, (DSCC) and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), he confirmed it applied to all three. He said he had not discussed this decision with the committees.

True , unamerican activities like fining people for not having health ins will keep them from making inroads into new territories I think and rightfully so .
