But you have to love it.

(1,554 posts)And yes his handwriting is barely legible, but I found it to be so genuine.
I sent him a very small donation and really couldn't afford to do that, but I felt that he deserved it.

(5,610 posts)and will continue to do so.
I too can only send small donations. Wow, if we can elect him with our pittance and his message....

I am sending him what I can, as regularly as I can. I agree that he deserves our support.

MADem
(135,425 posts)He does have a couple of Super PACS, even if he doesn't want them. The whole nature of a Super PAC is that they operate independently in support of a candidate, without coordination. It's the nature of the beast, no thanks/curses to Citizen's United.

MADem
(135,425 posts)I can see how the smaller it gets, the harder it might be to read--I'm on a large-screened laptop, so I had no trouble!

(8,200 posts)Without his input I imagine that the process would have produced more of the same empty promises.
There is little doubt that he has not only affected the nomination for the Democratic Party, but also the Republicans. He has singlehandedly force the issue of the immoral redistribution of wealth to the ultra-wealthy to the forefront. Candidates from both parties are scrambling to adopt his populist measures.
Perhaps, hopefully, this movement will be so pervasive that it will expose the professional parasites that dominate our political system as the greedy enablers that they are for the ultra-wealthy. I can only dream that hundreds of these immoral oligarch boot-lickers are sent packing.

(11,093 posts)I donated early on, and added some money later, but don't recally any handwritten note (honestly didn't expect one either). Was curious how you received it, and if he picks people at random to respond to.
On edit: I see you had "by email" at the top. I'll have to check my campaign email. Normally I ignore most of it, except for keeping track of events in my area.
