Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumIt's Donation O'Clock! New York State!
We are his only source of funds (unless you count a PAC affiliated with a nurses's union, whose monies he does not control and who can spend its money on others or hold onto it at will )
This is from one of my own prior Donation O'Clock posts, before Bernie's winning streak:
If you think Bernie is losing, you have not been paying attention. He has won so much, it's unbelievable.
"Sanders has already won." [url]http://www.democraticunderground.com/12778005[/url]
"Sea changes in US politics, thanks to Senator Sanders and his supporters."
[url]http://jackpineradicals.org/showthread.php?5448-Sea-changes-in-US-politics-thanks-to-Senator-Sanders-and-his-supporters[/url] or
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280109865
Beyond that, this is not only a primary, it's a revolution; and Sanders and we have been winning the revolution since the day in 2014 that he announced he was exploring a run for the Presidency. If you want more sea changes in politics, if you want people to know you mean it, this is the time to let them know in the only language they understand. TODAY.
Please don't even think about telling me you can't spare even $1.00 today or you are going to wait for your IRS refund. Today is the day to make the biggest statement you can possibly make. You can always send more later when that other check arrives or the tooth fairly finally leaves you that dollar, plus interest, for the molar you lost when you were twelve.
Minimum donation is $1.00, but this is not the day for small ball: Donate as much as you possibly can, "RIGHT FUCKING NOW!"
Well, he is not in a losing (or tying) streak anymore: he's been on a winning streak and NY is very important! An estimated 48,000 flocked to Washington Square to hear him last night. And the Arch looks a lot like Paris's Arch of Triumph!
If you want Bernie to triumph--and I know you do--
Next week is too late to make a difference in NY.
