You are looking at one candidate for president who does not have a super
PAC and Im damn proud of that,
Bernie Sanders told a gymnasium full of supporters in Salem, New
Hampshire, on Sunday night. It was one if the first big applause
lines of a town meeting at a middle school.
Instead of being bankrolled by millionaires and billionaires, Sanders
surging campaign is being fueled by huge turnouts at rallies and town
meetings like the one at Woodbury Middle School. In this small
southern New Hampshire town, some 1,000 people filled the gym and an
adjacent cafeteria, Fire Marshal Jeff Emanuelson estimated.
In addition to drawing bigger crowds than any other candidate for the
White House, the Sanders campaign has another distinction. The
campaign has been funded by a lot of donors who gave what little they
could afford. In the few months since the launch date, more than
400,000 people have donated to the campaign. The average contribution
is $31.20
They have the money but we have the people and when the people stand
together there is nothing we cant accomplish, Sanders said. This
country belongs to all of us and not just a handful of billionaires.
One way for a people-powered campaign to match and even overcome all
of the Super PAC money being larded out to other candidates was
suggested by one of the speakers who introduced the senator in Salem.
Become a human billboard for Bernie, Ben Cohen urged the crowd.
The brainstorm came from one of the Vermont businessmen who built Ben
and Jerrys ice cream into a world-famous brand. He knows a thing or
two about marketing.
Its that simple, Ben Cohen said. Everyone at the school, every one
who has showed up at big rallies, everyone who has given $31 to the
campaign, everyone who supports the campaign to rebuild the middle
class and take on the billionaire class can all do one more thing to
spread the word: Become a human billboard for Bernie.
