He may need to get a hosting service that can handle more traffic. That's a good thing!

it goes through Act Blue:

Your Contributions for
Date Recipient Jurisdiction Amount
Actblue social square 2015-03-17 Jesus "Chuy" Garcia Local: Chicago, conduit $10.00 view
Actblue social square 2015-04-30 Bernie Sanders Federal: Candidate $50.00 view

So, that is what I have donated so far this year. Has he actually announced yet? If not I'm assuming he can use it for Senate.

This is the site I donated at: https://berniesanders.com/

I hope he is on the primary ballot here in TX. We don't always get third party but we might get him if he's announced as a dem.

Made a donation and when I submitted it nothing happened, so I don't know if I donated or not...may have to see if my card was charged before I do it again.

with bernie's pic which asks if you would like this to be a monthly donation. after you select your option, you are then directed to a page which gives you the option to send a letter let people know you are supporting bernie - or post on various social sites.

you should also receive a receipt sent to your personal email. but, the server may be backed up - i would have also given it a day or two - and if nothing - resubmit a donation.

For act blue, I declined and hit finish and nothing happened for a long time...got no email
I hope no one stole my cc info...and it was just a backed up server.
