Not much, but it was something.

I frequently drive my friends to the airport. Local charge would normally be $70., if they used a car service. Instead, they ask me and they pay me $50.00. I am asked if I want the $50 or should they donate to a charity. Depending on my particular circumstances, I take the money or select a charity.

They asked me to drive them today. At the end of the ride, "Do you want $50.00 or should we make a contribution somewhere? I thought about the usual charities I sometimes suggest and then it came to me.

Give it to Bernie Sanders. Suddenly, there were three happy people in the car.

His receipt for his donation to Sanders, plus a Sanders pin to wear. I thought it was cool.
