Letter from Bernie! We've raised almost 3 million since Tuesday!

[peacebird]

The billionaire class and political establishment in this country would like very much for us to go away. They see our proposals and the way we fund our campaign as a threat to their existence and have been determined to see us lose from day one.

But the response from supporters across the country has made one thing clear: we aren’t going anywhere — we are going to win.

Since the polls opened on Tuesday, we have received more than 100,000 contributions and raised almost $3 million dollars.

1. Corporate corruption should be fought tooth and nail. Hang in there Bernie!

[HerbChestnut]

2. That's really encouraging.

Glimmers of hope, folks.

[DanTex]

3. Can he give that money to Hillary's GE campaign or other Dem senate and house campaigns?

What are the rules on that?

[KingFlorez]

4. Campaigns can donate to other campaigns

Up to the $2700 limit. He'd never do that though, he doesn't care for Clinton or most congressional Democrats.

[DanTex]

6. Just $2700, huh. I remember in 2008 there was talk of Obama helping Hillary pay off her

campaign debts, which I'm pretty sure were more than $2700, but I guess there's some kind of special clause for that, or something.

$2700 isn't going to make much difference, even if he spreads it around to different campaigns.

[KingFlorez]

7. That likely involved paying off vendors

A campaign can pay off debts for another campaign by paying off vendors.

[DanTex]

8. Aha. Makes sense, thanks.

[bkkyosemite]

5. I want my money to go to Bernie...period...I'm sure he will spend it on Ads

[Agschmid]

11. He could also just give it back to the donors... LIFO style.

[Armstead]

22. I don't want my money back. I want him to spend it until late summer

[LWolf]

9. A tiny part of that was mine.

[Snotcicles]

15. I'm proud to say he same. nt

[vintx]

29. Same!

[WillyT]

10. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[Impedimentus]

12. K&R

[quantumjunkie]

13. Donated another $50 -- GO BERNIE!

[workinclasszero]

14. Bernie will always take your money no matter what

Bernie fans can rely on that!

[peacebird]

16. And Hills will take care of WallStreet instead of Main Street, you can count on that!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. The coffers of Jeff Weaver and Tad Devine must be overflowing./nt

[workinclasszero]

24. Must be

They keep shaking the money tree constantly.

They are making hay while the sun shines, like my Mother used to say.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. How come working class folk like you and me don't get these gigs.

I am sure we can waste other people's hard earned money with the best of em.

[workinclasszero]

26. I got this silly notion that I should earn what I get

Some people have no problems making bank on what others have earned.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. It reminds me of widows on meager Social Security benefits sending their checks to the 700 Club.

[workinclasszero]

30. Totally

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. The race will end when Tad Devine is convinced the race has gone on too long...

The race will end when Tad Devine is convinced the race has gone on too long and the bad will it will engender will prevent him from gaining future clients, and not a day before. Until then he be cashing those checks.

[grasswire]

34. they are making less than Syd Blumenthal was paid by the Clinton Foundation...

....to provide advice about Libya to Hillary on her hidden, secret server in order to avoid President Obama's instructions to BAN Blumenthal from giving advice.

Blumenthal was paid $120,000/year for faulty advice to the Secretary of State.

[magical thyme]

17. a gave a little extra yesterday! nt

[PonyUp]

18. No way! The Clinton camp says Bernie is running out of money! LOL n/t

[UglyGreed]

19. Never give up

never give in........

[Cheese Sandwich]

20. rec.

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. I suggest a heavy ad run in the Boise media market!

[CalvinballPro]

31. So does Tad Devine, but only for the commission fee he'll collect for it! n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. I used to sell print advertising...Ad agencies got a 15% commission/discount

I suspect tv isn't as high.

[alcibiades_mystery]

35. Heh heh heh

$27 forevaaaaah!

[flamingdem]

27. I'm impressed. Bernistas have staying power

just like Bernie.

That means a lot since it's a loooong game.

[AzDar]

36. Go, Bernie...GO!!

[tomm2thumbs]

37. Donated

His $3,000,000.00 goes a lot further than with other candidates, so I'd say that number is wildy impressive since he'll no doubt use it wisely

Imagine what he would be able to do with the budget the government has by scooping out fraud, waste and excessiveness bred into it by the established moneymakers there.

[dana_b]

38. lol!! Awesome news!

So happy to help!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

39. Yeah!
