Bernie Superpack

I had signed up for regular giving on the Bernie Superpack but read that Bernie does not approve of them and also there is question of where or what the money goes for. Does anyone know? I want my donations to go to help him win nomination. Thanks!

It's a play on words...SuperPack (well, like a pack of people) versus Super-PAC (Political Action Committee.)

He remains opposed to Super-PAC's.

I was also going to direct you to FeelTheBern.org...there is a wealth of information about his stance.

I too, am a member of Bernie's super pack. we're gonna get him to the white house! but remember, we have to do it with more than just our donations!

for example, I signed up to do phone call volunteering from home. we've got a mission coming up where we call Bernie supporters and encourage them to host Bernie parties for the debates on October 13th.

spread the BERN!

just today gave some information to someone who will be starting a fB page Group for his part of a City. I tell people about him also and give. My health prohibits me from doing more. But Back in the Day I was a super woman politically. Community organizer big time. I just have to settle for what I can now do. Time to hand over the reins to younger than me and learn to accept it. Hard....

I am young but by social anxieties prevent me from pounding the concrete and going out there. I will utilize the phones and create art as I have been though!

spread the word about him so it's an important way to help his campaign.

I doubt he would be where he is right now without Social Media since the Corp media won't do much to help anyone who is a threat to the status quo.

I am an Original Member of Bernie's Superpack! It is an adorable round sticker. I just put it next to my others on my car. I signed up for $5 a month for Bernie (I'm poor and that is a lot for me). As others noted, the Superpack is a play on words. Even a poor person like me can be a member and feel like I am part of things. Www.berniesanders.com
Got my email to start calling people too. I've been sick so haven't started I don't want to scare people away!

Since I didn't want to actually stick stuff on my car, I've taped everything in the window. It still gets noticed and will be easily removable. The bumper sticker said it was low stick, but I didn't want to trust it.
Have magnets coming that will go on the outside safely.
I still see cars with Obama 08 stuck to the bumper.
