"action news" was there. >> money that is secret where

the original source of the money is not known, it's more powerful and persuasive. >> reporter: they refused to release the name of donors footing the bill. an "action news" review of e-mail gives voters an inside view of the pay-to-play politic of the dnc. wealthy donors were rewarded with a top convention package called the square, complete with v.i.p. access and a room at the ritz. other packages called the fair mouth and main line are based on contributions. >> they expect to be treated as special v.i.p.s, which they are to the parties. they are bankrolling the party convention funds. >> reporter: the contributors are granted special access to parties and politicians. >> money doesn't election

the conventions are done and i think it's fair to say that americans have a real choice

this time around. some presidential years, you hear people say they are the same. they are not the same this year. hillary clinton and donald trump will spend every minute until november 8 trying to tell us how they are deferent and how each other would be totally unacceptable. one hopes they will stress ideas, plans, solutions because we need those to make a choice worthy of our democracy or at least what our democracy is supposed to be. we need to respect the candidate, but they need to respect us. we appreciate the opportunity to make you part of the experience of the dnc. for each one of us on the air, there are about eight people working off the air, behind the scenes. without them, people like me would be just talking to the wall. we hope you have enjoyed our work because we want you back four years from now. for the entire "action news" team, i'm jim gardn.
