Thanks to Bernie and all the awesome volunteers that helped GOTV for 3/15, and give the 3/22 crew a little extra push to get out there and outdo those before them.

So being that the limit is $2700 per candidate for the primaries (please correct me if I'm wrong), I'm kind of screwed. I wonder what happens if you go over the limit? Will you be arrested?

posted here there will be**dozens** of Hillary fans who will see your contribution as the LAST STRAW in Bernie's obviously corrupt "peoples" campaign and they will DEMAND that Bernie drop out of the race and that his supporters here DROP DEAD.

So, my advice? Send Sanders NO MORE than $8.83... or there'll be hell to pay.

(Oh, and good on you that you were able to contribute near the limit!)

So glad us Berners are willing to spare what money we do have so that Bernie's campaign can remain strong, steadfast and resolute, and also: creative -- just like the candidate himself.

Go, Bernie!!!!!

Of course, you realize that makes that Sanders supporter the wicked witch in your analogy.

I am having a once in a lifetime day!

Damn, and I'll never make another 68 years.

Rahm is an adversary ... against my principles.

Thanks.

Rahm needs to go. He will always be a shit stain on Obama.

before some folks cry foul.

Though I could see how some folks (and I think this skirts but this is my personal bias not law) might feel badly. And scratch that to my country of origin where this is actually illegal. In the United States though, this is very legal. So that is my bias as far as that.

But those core values tell me that I personally do not like it.. not that in this case this is breaking any laws in the United States.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. You think banners are illegal? I don't remember FAA regs, but a small plane is probably a mile high.

There's nothing that says people can't campaign on election day. There are laws about how close they can get to a polling place, because that can interfere with access or intimidate voters.

within 24 hours of an election, that includes banners and the plane flying them.

Why I said that was my own personal bias, not against the law. This is very legal within US Law, it is MORE than 150 feet.

the problems he has caused with the public school system in Chicago.

The man who ran against him caused a run-off election for Mayor. Unfortunately voter turn out is never the same for run-off elections.
The man who ran against Rahm is a huge, vocal, going around Chicago campaigning Bernie supporter.

People who are not happy with Rahm are not voting for Hillary.

It's a surefire way to drive Sanders supporters even further away from Clinton.
