Just dropped my first donation of the year via DU for Bernie - Act Blue.

Democratic Underground for Bernie - Act Blue now has 1,162 donors and has raised $41,287.51.

Now I'm a thrifty fellow and hauling out my wallet involved some dust and moths flying about, but I'm convinced Bernie is our best shot at unwinding the corporatocracy.
If you agree and have some spare change, please consider donating today.

When Omaha Steve last edited this page, there were donations totalling $2,506 and now we've gone over $41-large!
Here's the OS thread, if you feel like crowing about your donation-

the link that arrives in the emails or people who send checks and money orders. I'm guessing the actual figure donated to Bernie so far by DUers through all methods is closer to $100,000.

As OS posts all the time, we're making a difference!

where folks mentioned donating via other channels and wishing they'd use DU4Bern.
It's all good so long as the proceeds get where they're going!

but thanks for the reminder that it's time to send another one. I feel so privileged to be able to contribute to his campaign even if it is just a tiny amount.
