Where's the best place to donate to Bernie?

[PearliePoo2]

I read the average donation to Bernie is $27.16.
I want to send in MINE!
(I'd prefer to use Paypal, but I don't know if that's an option)

1. His website

https://go.berniesanders.com/page/content/contribute/

Looks like it uses Act Blue. You can select PayPal.

5. Checking out these links!

Thank You!

6. They both go to Act Blue, same as the link on Bernie's site and all the money goes to Bernie.

Act Blue will ask if you want to leave a "tip" but you can say no with no problem whatever.

The links allow us to keep track of what we give, which is really nice and motivating.

4. I want to buy some coffee cups too! (gifts for friends)

But ONLY if some of the proceeds of the sale go to his campaign!

7. What you buy at the Bernie Store goes to his campaign, but, of course, his campaign has to pay

for the cups. Still, it's free advertising. (Drink in public, LOL!)

8. Drinking in PUBLIC!

Well...sort of.
In this case, it's for friends at my workplace!
We'll be raising a cup to Bernie and believe me, where I work, it will NOT go un-noticed!

9. Cool. Offer everyone in distress a hot beverage, as Sheldon Cooper was taught to do.

(Yes, I love Big Bang Theory. Why do you ask?)

13. I buy bumper stickers, signs, buttons, etc. and give out to my friends on the deal

that they display them. Some items like the rally sign with pride colors are popular and already sold out.

14. Nice, rhett! I give out the small campaign buttons.

17. I just put another order in. I was surprised (happily) at the response.

I also hand out flyers and find a lot of people interested in learning who Sanders is. I think they will approve of what they find.

16. Go to the Bernie Store

on his website. All items are American made by union workers and the profits go directly to the campaign

10. Do Not Donate on his website

I did last night. A one time donation of $27.00. Since then Act Blue has taken out $27.00 two more times. I laughed off the first time and said I did it for my kids. But when I woke up and saw they had done it again, I started trying to contact Act Blue to make sure it stops. I have spent the past hour trying to get in touch with Act Blue. Be very careful donating through them.

11. They had problems last night.

Their site got overwhelmed, and that probably caused the hiccups with multiple hits on your card. We had the same problem with a site I helped code up when we were running the New York Film Festival online sales, and everybody and their brother all were trying to buy tickets right at the exact same minute tickets went on sale. The first year that happened was a nightmare, and I spent days processing refunds manually for people who got hit with multiple charges, or got charged without getting tickets. The next year we till had trouble, but far fewer, and after that we basically had the traffic issues figured out.

I just donated through them this morning, and don't expect any problems with mine.

18. It is getting very frustrating.

I have spent more than an hour on hold trying to get them to stop hitting my account with charges.

I would never donate on his site during times when it might be busy. Act Blue clearly has trouble handling volume.

12. only ONE place. His website (period)

15. What is your problem with using the DU or the JPR link? All 3 links go to Act Blue.
