I got a 'Thank You' note email from Bernie.

I don't think that's ever happened before when I've contributed to a politician's campaign.

" We aren’t begging for money from billionaires and we’re not endorsing a Super PAC. More than 99% of our contributions came from people who gave $250 or less and the average donation was $33.

I know we asked a lot over the last ten days and I didn’t want any more time to pass before saying thank you.

The truth is our campaign finance system is nothing short of a national disgrace.
(AMEN-trof)

Elections should be determined by the power of good ideas, not who can hustle the most money from the rich and powerful. They should be about the issues that impact the lives of ordinary Americans — not the day-to-day soap operas of campaign staffers, personal emails or fluctuations in the polls."

I really like this guy.

I've given $300 total so far ($100 a month for three months).


When can I start asking for favors?
