Bernie Sanders Makes The Billionaire Class Shudder By Passing 4 Million Contributions - Repost
Source: Politicus USA
After the Nevada caucus, the Bernie Sanders campaign announced that in the biggest rejection ever of the billionaire class, the campaign has passed 4 million small contributions.
According to the Sanders campaign:
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign raised almost $21.3 million in January from small donors who contributed about $27 apiece on average, according to a report filed on Saturday with the Federal Election Commission.
Through Jan. 31, Sanders had raised $94.8 million since the campaign was launched last April 30.
Altogether, Sanders’ grassroots campaign to date has received more than 4 million contributions.
Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said, “Our campaign is a strong grassroots movement supported by middle-class Americans from working families, not billionaires trying to buy elections. This campaign is built for the long haul and is drawing millions of new people into the process.”
4 million contributions. Astounding! Impressive as hell!
Regardless of who wins the nomination, there's one indisputable fact; Bernie Sanders has demonstrated the anger and dissatisfaction people have at the unequal treatment being thrust upon them by manipulative and controlling corporate interests.
Lets get to 5 million!

One assumes she answers to the sponsors in order of who donates
the most.
I will say this however, both are honest politicians in that they stay bought! I am sure Hillary is quite loyal to Goldman Sachs
He is our politician and as an added bonus feature, he comes with a lifelong commitment to the goal of improving the lot of those that need it most, and included for the not so short time of since he has been in public service he also offers a consistent set of actual values!
I know a group of banks can afford to spend a lot to purchase the best but none of those come with values because there is no market for that.
