I was due to make another small contribution anyhow.

Im going to sign up for the super pack as well and make a $25 monthly donation. Can't afford to buy a politician, but Il gladly donate a little to one who can't be purchased!

I have to say, having a politician in my pocket is comforting.

Corporations say the most bang for the buck they get comes from the dollars they spend buying politicians use for political donations; and, boy, am I looking forward to cashing in my chits! That said, I feel as though I've already gotten value from every dollar I've donated, many times over. Sanders is waking and educating people who are not political junkies. That bell cannot be unrung.
