Let's make it 3 million contributors!!

Email from Bernie..

Xxx -

When we started our campaign together, much of the corporate-owned media wrote us off. They said we had no chance, that we couldn’t win, that victory was impossible.

Since then we’ve demonstrated the strength of our political revolution: we’ve risen in the polls, drawn the largest crowds and volunteer base of any campaign, and last quarter raised more money than every Republican and almost as much as Hillary Clinton.

But our movement isn’t about how much money we raise, it’s about how many times individuals have stepped up to contribute to our campaign. And right now, we’re just short of reaching our historic goal of two million individual contributions by midnight tonight.

Make a $50 contribution today and send an unmistakable message that the American people have had ENOUGH of the billionaire class buying our elections.

When people look at this accomplishment, I want them to see every single contribution as a declaration of support for the values we share. Please help us reach our goal.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

So that Bernie gets a big push not only for the quarter but the end of the year.

Tell someone you love, they get one less Made in China gift and that the money went to Bernie's campaign to improve America...just a thought!

so much. I don't know how you'd "Money bomb" that, but since most of us don't have much discretionary income, swear off cigarettes (not wine or beer...we need that to keep us sane) or eating out once a month.

Meatless Fridays...lots of good Vegetarian recipes and healthier for the most part than a lot of meat...maybe add some bacon or chopped ham into beans or blackeyed peas.

Maybe we could call it Bernie's Meatless Friday Family Feast...should be good for $10-20 bucks a month.
