Related: About this forumLet's raise $353,000 for Bernie!
Just got this email:
Tonight Hillary Clinton is hosting a fundraiser at the home of a California venture capitalist where couples contributing $353,000 get to sit at a table with George Clooney.
Now, you know where this campaign stands on George Clooney. YUGE fans. But a political contribution of $353,000?!??! Thats just an obscene amount of money.
And while the Clinton campaign repeatedly claims this money to her Victory Fund goes toward supporting the DNC, campaign finance records show theyve spent millions of those dollars to subsidize their own campaign. It is, lets just say, a very creative way to use enormous checks from people like Alice Walton (yes, Wal-Mart) to cover what would otherwise be campaign expenses.
So, weve set another ambitious goal, because thats what this campaign is about: setting ambitious goals and watching people come together to meet them. Here it is:
Help Bernie raise $353,000 before midnight. Not in a single check, but in small-dollar increments. Add your contribution to the thousands being made right now.

I sent money (again) about 10 min ago.
I swore I would last night during the debate when I got really hot about a specific exchange, so I followed through.

I donated again.
I've also become a hub of canvassing and GOTV between this and next weekend. This campaign is SO well organized. I feel like a den mother amongst earth angles.... But, that's how I like to roll, don't you know.
