A little friendly competition between the Bernie and Hillary camps perhaps?

ALL the $ goes to the candidates except for the credit card imposed fee by US law: http://support.actblue.com/faq#q15

Fees all vendors pay to use your credit card from a vendors perspective: http://paysimple.com/credit_card_rates_explained.html

IF you give a tip it goes to Act Blue, the most successful Democratic $ raising PAC for their in house expenses like rent, payroll, IT, etc.

It takes a few minutes for the tote board to show your donation on the now live goal o meter just below.

1. I give $5.00 a month directly to the Hillary campaign
2. If this were a nationwide the competition would bury Sanders, but this is DU.
I could just read it all now... "ha ha, Hillary has no support" when just the opposite is the truth.
It would be anything BUT friendly.

And to be completely honest there are more Sanders supporters here so we know how this will go.

Right now, Senator Sanders (I-VT) needs all the help he can get.

Hillary's race begins quite a while from now.

I'm going to be popping in more money, and ActBlue is cool! But we have a long run ahead of us.
