Donate to DU for Bernie at Act Blue here: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforbernie


This website is under heavy load

We're sorry, too many people are accessing this website at the same time. We're working on this problem. Please try again later.


UPDATE: I just had 5 donations show up at once. The time stamp varies by over 1/2 hour. Looks like Act Blue is getting caught up.

5. Thank you Steve. Closing in on 50,000 dollars.

Lets all kick in and help Bernie put boots on the ground for Super Tuesday.

[Bjornsdotter]

6. Mine went right through

....but I donated shortly after the primary was called for Bernie.

[Omaha Steve]

7. It went down right after Bernie said go to my site and donate now in his speech

[mak3cats]

12. Ours did too, and we did the same...

...GO BERNIE!!!!!

[Sienna86]

8. Still trying to donate...

The site is overwhelmed!

[Peace Patriot]

9. That is awesome!

But I hope they get back up fast. I hope they don't lose those donors (probably won't). And I hope it wasn't sabotage.

[MissDeeds]

10. Awesome

[restorefreedom]

11. mine hasn't gone through yet

[zentrum]

[restorefreedom]

13. Contribution got hung up. Checked PayPal ...

I checked PayPal to see if my donation went through. I jotted down 5 contributions since December. Average donation of...drum roll...$27.

$50, 10, 25, 25 & 27

I'll keep trying until I get through today. Sending $100 today so Bernie is ready for the kitchen sink that's coming next.

[Pastiche423]

14. My donation was "flagged"

That was about 1/2 hour ago.

Don't know what that means.

[Omaha Steve]

15. Why was my donation flagged for review?

http://support.actblue.com/faq-donors#8

A:
ActBlue uses sensitive automatic fraud detection software that is designed to protect and secure your personal information. The software pulls a number of contributions each day for manual review by one of our staff members. You’ll receive another email notification once the contribution has been reviewed and processed successfully.

16. Thanks, Steve!

I was so excited I thought I had screwed up.

[mak3cats]

17. I don't do Facebook, nor do I tweet...

...or any of the other social media "stuff." I think the news that Bernie's request had this effect should get some air play. Spread the word, please, since I am too much of a Luddite to do it myself!

[jillan]

18. Mine has been processing for 20+ minutes? Should I wait it out?

[Omaha Steve]

20. Here you go

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1280&pid=114472

I refreshed the screen and it stopped, then I looked at my account information from a pull down list

[SoapBox]

19. Wow...talk about Bern'n Down the House!

I'm going to order 2 more yard signs tomorrow.

[zentrum]

21. Yup. I couldn't get

It was hung for many minutes. About 20 minutes later I got my receipt. So hang in there.

[Duckfan]

23. I got a 404 error.

What the hell is that?

Still trying.

[valerief]

30. I block cookies and have to add exception urls to the exception list in Firefox.

Maybe it's the same with you.

[californiabernin]

26. I know, I've been trying to donate, but hey....

I'm glad to see so much activity and I'll get mine in eventually!

[californiabernin]

27. Oh, just went through but boy it took awhile! n/t

[mountain grammy]

29. Waiting till tomorrow..

kind of a short month, but won $50 on a Broncos bet. Its' going to Bernie.

[Uncle Joe]

31. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Omaha Steve.

[bkkyosemite]

32. So far I donated twice but meant to once but hey it's fine with me cuz of

processing overload.

[fbc]

33. Maybe it's being overloaded by Hillary donors?

LOLOLOLOL just kidding

[bkkyosemite]

34. If it's processing don't do it over or it will charge you twice. Either stop the action

and wait to see if you get confirmation for the processing (I did just now for two donations) of that one donation. Or it will think you are donating twice

[grasswire]

35. where can I buy leaflets to hand out?

Anyone know?

[Omaha Steve]

37. You can print your own out

[postulater]

36. Mine got stuck too.

I'll try again in the morning.

[mobeau69]

38. Mine was in "Processing Payment" mode and

after way more than an hour I just got a confirmation from ActBlue in my email. Just closed out the "Processing Payment" page and can go to bed now knowing that it's all good.

How sweet it is.

[Duckfan]

39. Ok, I'm in now....

Working.

Another $25 on the way!

I thought perhaps that the server was about to have a nervous breakdown and just shut down.

All is good now!!!!

[PatrynXX]

40. Done

if your working min wage and you wanna see $21 an hour Bernie would be a better choice. doubt Hillary would push $15 let alone $21 which is where it shoulda been 1-2 yrs ago

[wavesofeuphoria]

41. Saw on Twitter Bernie had $2.3m by 1230am??

Anyone have info?
