Something remarkable is happening, Andrew. We are approaching a critical fundraising deadline next week, after which we will have to publicly report not just how much money our campaign has raised, but how many people have made a contribution to own a part of it.
This deadline gives our campaign the chance to make presidential election history. We may be able to say that our supporters have made 1 million contributions online to our campaign. It's a stretch to reach that goal. Yet I believe that it's possible to get there if we all come together.
Are you in to help us try, Andrew?
Help us reach 1 million online contributions by next week's deadline. Please contribute to our campaign to try and meet this unprecedented goal:
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Having more than 1 million contributions would be absolutely, totally historic this early in an election. In the 2008 race, with all of his grassroots momentum and enthusiasm in his incredible campaign, President Obama did not reach more than 1 million contributions until after he won the Iowa caucuses.
EXPRESS DONATE: $10
EXPRESS DONATE: $24.85
(↑ Our average donation this past week ↑)
EXPRESS DONATE: $50
EXPRESS DONATE: $100
OR, DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT.
The political media like to take fundraising deadlines like the one coming up next week and make it all about the grotesque amounts of money poured into our democracy. We'll see just how many Wall Street execs contributed how many millions of dollars to prop up the corrupt system that helps them get rich. They'll report on super PACs raking in potentially hundreds of millions of dollars from corporations and the ultra-wealthy.
What they're not counting on is our political revolution. Let's show that the number of people and the number of contributions people make is just as important as the money raised from the billionaire class.
Please chip in to help reach our goal of 1 million online contributions by our fundraising deadline.
I cannot thank you enough for all of your support, dedication, and sacrifices for our campaign. We have shown that a political revolution is possible. Now let's show what we can do with it.
In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders
