Have you donated?

Just used ActBlue (thanks Omaha Steve) to give money to Bernie before the 12/31 deadline.

I can't afford to give much, but I wanted to be counted (again) as we get closer to the Iowa caucus.

Even the Clinton campaign is starting to concede that Bernie will raise more from individuals than her (discounting her SuperPACs, of course) and, if he does, MAYBE the media might pay attention.

So, if you can afford it, donate by New Year's Eve!

I'm glad to see so many others are giving too. I'm very proud of Bernie for not concending to
Super Pacs and corporate $$.

PLEASE don't forget, Bernie won't be able to do much without a cooperative Congress--BOTH HOUSES! Look at what the uncooperative idiots have done to Obama's plans!

I have multiple t-shirts, however
It adds up real quick when we all work together...I love being a part of this. I have never donated monthly, in my life. It's a great investment, imo.

All my extra donations before this month went through the DU link, though, as does my recurring donation.

Doesn't matter to Sanders which link I use!

It’s no secret, Bernie has received just over 2.3 million contributions, a historic accomplishment and one that outpaces President Obama’s groundbreaking 2008 and 2012 campaigns at this point. So far you’ve contributed $---.00 to our campaign on this email address, and that makes you one of Bernie’s largest contributors to date. Thank you.

Your support specifically has allowed us to build the largest organization of any presidential campaign, Republican or Democrat — one that is going to power us to victory in the primary and general election. We have staff across the country training volunteers who are talking to potential supporters at an unprecedented scale. And a lot of it is because you made the choice to step up and fund our political revolution.

But right now we are facing one of our biggest tests of the campaign: the final FEC fundraising deadline of the year on Thursday night. Right now, out of all of the contributions we’ve received, only 400 of those have come from people giving the maximum allowable amount. Bernie needs you to join them.


Can he count on you to make a $----.00 contribution to our campaign today? You can do that here:

(Please use Omaha Steve's link, not the one in the email!)

We’re getting pretty close to making some final budget decisions before the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary. Your continued support today will ensure we have the resources to compete and win.

In solidarity,

Jeff Weaver
Campaign Manager
