How about a money "bomb" for Bernie

[cali]

starting... now!

I just donated.

[GoneFishin]

1. Me too.

[cali]

2. cool

Bernie has close to 5 million now in his Senate campaign fund that he can use. It would be great to see that doubled by May 6.

[brooklynite]

3. Congrats - you contributed to his Senate campaign

Until he formally announces (tomorrow), his Presidential Committee isn't active. There are ways to transfer Federal campaign contributions, but it's not a clean as contributing directly.

[cali]

4. not according to the website and it doesn't matter.

he can use his Senate war chest with NO problem.

I'd think you would know this.

Unlike you, us "little people" have to raise money for our candidate with small donations.

[leftofcool]

5. I hope all you "little people" will be able to raise a billion dollars.

That is pretty much what it is going to take to compete with the likes of the Koch Brothers. And don't think for one minute that ole' Sheldon will support Bernie because both are Jews.

[cali]

6. It won't take a billion for the primary and what is your weird thing about Bernie being Jewish?

First, you post a despicable claim about Bernie being allied with "Bibi" and now this gratuitous pile of dog shit about Bernie not being able to rely on a JEWISH repuke?

Disgusting.

SHAME on YOU.

[G_j]

8. unbelievable

is that how you would represent yourself as a Hillary supporter?

[cali]

14. It is vile. and people say that no HRC supporters are against Bernie

getting in.

[KittyWampus]

49. It's isn't that there are no DU'ers against Bernie. It's just the small hand full

that do exist have Sanders' supporters over-reacting to the point of appearing out of touch with reality and often quite hostile.

[Scuba]

13. Yeah, either that or policy positions that motivate voters. That would work too.

[Cosmic Kitten]

26. Both are "Jews" WTF?

leftofcool: And don't think for one minute that ole' Sheldon will support Bernie because both are Jews.

IS this the "dog whistle" politics
I've been reading about?

OMG, insert any race or religion
and see how bigoted that looks!

Stay classy

[cali]

27. oh yeah, clearly dog whistle dog shit

and this isn't the only time.

as for staying classy, that's hard when you haven't been classy.

[marmar]

34. WTF?

[Pooka Fey]

36. Excuse me, what? Both are Jews? Snark about all us "little people" not having Koch Bros money?

What the holy fuck is all that about?

[peacebird]

53. See, leftofcool is posting the kind of crap that gives Hillary supporters here a bad name.

His pretty rainbow HRC logo isn't looking so shiny next to his comments..... "Both are Jews"? That matters exactly - why?

[brooklynite]

7. Where did I object to you making a contribution -- small or otherwise?

I said you should have waited until tomorrow when the Presidential Committee would be active.

[cali]

11. and of course, I didn't say that you did object.

gosh, putting words in my mouth. why is that so very unsurprising. I don't know how you were brought up, but I was taught that was a rather tacky thing to do.

Look, you posted snark (Congrats).

Oh, and I think Bernie's campaign has this figured out and wouldn't have put up the page if it was going to cause them any headaches.

but thanks for attempting to put a damper on it.

[Agschmid]

18. It's a PAC.

[jwirr]

9. I need to wait until the first of the month but he is going to get something from me every month.

[pa28]

10. Just gave my donation.

Felt great.

[cali]

12. it did, didn't it?

[pa28]

44. First donation I've made to a national candidate that seemed meaningful in any way.

Normally I like to keep it local but I'll give my time and some more $$$ next month.

[Scuba]

15. I tried, but the website seem to be overwhelmed right now.

I'm considering that a good thing.

[MaggieD]

16. I'll send him a donation once he declares as a Democrat

Just like I will for every Democrat that is running. Except Chafee. If he runs I will not donate to him. He was a repuke too long before switching sides.

[cali]

17. bwhahahahaha.

thanks for the kick.

He's liberal-you?

[MaggieD]

19. You're welcome!

I'm a Democrat. I support all Democrats. And yes, I'm very liberal. Thanks for asking.

[KittyWampus]

50. This response is just so obnoxious. Par for the course it seems for Sanders supporters?

Poster says they will send some money when he declares as a Democrat and you post a hostile response asking if that DU'er is liberal.

[malthaussen]

20. I dunno, couldn't they get us for nuclear proliferation?

It will take a pretty big bomb to get Bernie enough to compete in the money arena.

[cali]

21. Bernie is quite good at raising money

he'll have support. I'll bet he gets union support as well as support from other organizations like Progressive dems of America and MoveOn and deep pocket liberals.

I think he can raise sufficient funds for the primary.

[donnasgirl]

22. Cali Thank You for the link

I just finished making two donations, one on behalf of myself and my family and one on behalf of another DU member who could not afford to help.

[cali]

23. thank you so much

What a kind thing to do

[donnasgirl]

25. A Thank you

Is truly not needed, in this election I will be fighting for what I and my family believe in not what the powers to be tell me I should believe in. On a side note Cali and I hope this wakes up some people, I had a Friend who is a die hard republican donate to Bernie this morning (LOL) I wish he was here to tell you why.

[Pooka Fey]

40. +1 Great story

about your Republican friend donating! Thanks for sharing it!

You are very generous to donate to Bernie on behalf of your friend. Two lovely stories!

[donnasgirl]

41. Pooka

I live in upstate NY and we are surrounded by Republicans, the one thing we are hearing from everybody in our small town is Republicans have also lost all hope, they are sick and tired of the talk about Social Security and a few other important issues, they are as sick of the way things are going just as we are. I am talking about the Little people, the ones that get up and go to work everyday and who are looking for an alternative to our current political system. People are tired of being lied to by the very people we put our trust in to improve lives not wreck them.

[Pooka Fey]

42. ...

[Scuba]

24. Wonderful, thank you donnasgirl!!

[jopacaco]

28. I just donated too

I am so glad that Bernie decided to run. I will support him in any way that I can. Thanks for posting the link and motivating me to donate.

[cali]

29. thanks!

Feels good, doesn't it?

[zeemike]

30. I keep trying that link and get

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Don't know our understand why and it is frustrating for me.

[cali]

32. I don't get it either

It was easy for me

[zeemike]

33. When I ask for information it says

That it confirms the site is working my firewall is not the problem but there may be a third party firewall that prevents it...don't understand that at all.

[magical thyme]

47. I couldn't get in yesterday; no problem this morning

diagnostics couldn't find a reason. I'm thinking it was just too busy at his website

[zeemike]

54. Tried it again just now.

Now I get...

The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.

I may end up with a check in the snail mail.

[magical thyme]

55. I just got in again, no problem...hmmmm

Maybe it is just me or my puter.

[MissDeeds]

31. Awesome!

Donated!

K&R

[JDPriestly]

35. Great idea.

Will do.

[Pooka Fey]

The biggest and most generous of my life to a political campaign.

Go Bernie! Man, I hope we can do this!

[LuvNewcastle]

38. I just gave.

That is the first time I've ever given money to a Presidential candidate.

[PDittie]

[magical thyme]

46. donated this morning...

for some reason I could get in yesterday. tried several times...bad timing I guess

My 2nd time donating to a candidate. Tiny, but 3x what I was able to scrape up to give Obama.

[cali]

48. thanks, mt

there's so much negativity and lying about Bernie here, and so much denial that it's happening....

[LWolf]

51. I'll be sending him what I can spare

from every paycheck.

[peacebird]

52. We are donating today!

[onyourleft]
