What to do about Virginia Democrats sharing funds with Hillary?

For those who haven't heard, the Democratic Party of Virginia (along with New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Mississippi) has set up a system whereby the party will share money it fundraises with Hillary's campaign.

We need to set something up and take action. We can't sit idly while Hillary takes control of the Democratic Party of Virginia. I'm thinking things like setting up an online petition, call-in and letter-writing campaigns, vows to withhold funding, etc.

Let's brainstorm and get something happening.

I used to like Hillary, but the more I compare her with Bernie the more clear it is who is the better candidate. I just hope that us Bernie supporters don't become the Democrat(see: sane) equivalent of Ron Paul supporters. This move by the party is a push in that direction.

We work harder organizing. Money doesn't translate into enthusiasm for candidates. http://freakonomics.com/2012/01/17/how-much-does-campaign-spending-influence-the-election-a-freakonomics-quorum/

There's a heavy push happening to try to keep funding distributions to only those who are backing the DNC line (which is Hillary). In the event that Hillary's near constant stream of issues from her time as State make her not viable, they've already got Kerry and Biden in the bullpen warming up to replace her.

At the end of the day, the DNC has made it clear they do not and will not accept Bernie unless they're left with no other option. With the recent involvement of Brother West in recent weeks, they're probably screaming at anyone who asks about Sanders now.
