I want to thank all of the grassroots supporters who are transforming American politicsThank you VERY much for your financial support for our campaign.
When we talk about a "political revolution," we are not just talking about tinkering around the edges of American society. We are talking about transforming our country in many respects -- the economy, health care, education, the environment, criminal justice, immigration and many other areas.
But what we are also talking about is transforming our corrupt campaign finance system -- a system which, as a result of the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision, now allows millionaires and billionaires to buy elections and undermine the very foundations of American democracy.
What we have done together so far in this campaign is not only extraordinary and unprecedented, it is transforming American politics. What we have shown is that we can raise over $40 million dollars without having a Super PAC. What we have shown is that we can raise an amount of money which makes us financially competitive by securing 1.3 million contributions from, unbelievably, 650,000 Americans. What we have shown is that we can run a successful campaign without having to depend upon donations from the wealthy and the powerful, and that we can do it with an average campaign contribution of only $30.
Our political system is corrupt. Big Money controls much of what happens.
Together, you and I are changing that.
Thank you again for your support.
Best,
Bernie
