How did you feel when you saw the news last night?

Five states vote next Tuesday, and you can expect the Clinton campaign and its super PACs to throw the kitchen sink at us. It’s coming.

We’ve already received close to 100,000 contributions since the polls closed last night, and if you add another $50 contribution to that total right now, we’re going to do very, very well next week.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

This is the most important stretch of our campaign to date. How we respond in this week could mean the difference between victory and defeat for our political revolution.

Add your contribution now so we can have the resources we need to win on Tuesday.

In solidarity,
Jeff Weaver
Campaign Manager

100,000 contributions, average contribution $27. That's some $2.7 million dollars in just a few hours. Pretty darn good.

I've given Bernie money every month. Wish it could by 'super delegates' or change their pledge. It appears Hillary has the humongous lead only because of them. I have heard somewhere that in reality they don't vote until August, but all the cable networks have given all but 22 of them to her.

This doesn't seem fair because some people just go with the winner feeling their vote won't count otherwise. Can they really count them already, fairly? We all know they can change their minds up until the convention, but if they cannot cast their mega vote until Aug. why are they given to Hillary already? Just because they verbally support her?

I read the history and definition but still, again, how can they count them NOW?
