To think, all these years I thought I had to hold my nose and vote despite the fact that I didn't really support the person I was voting for. For the very first time, I can say I really do support the candidate I am voting for. This is a feeling I will not give up. I will never just hold my nose and vote ever again. I am going to find candidates in local races that give me this same feeling and vote for them too. We the people really can do this.

My cousin whose 19 and brings home only $350 a week is donating $25 a week as she feels so strongly about the Bernster. F*** the wealthy and the elitists. Bernie only needs us common folks and he will lock up the White House!

Sen. Sanders is using his voice to speak for me, I'll help him with his message whenever I can.

I erased it in my post since you grabbed it - kewl!

Also got me to run over to the DU Actblue to donate, so it was win/win tonight

BTW, where's that illustration that someone did of Bernmister? Haven't seen it lately. But this is a good pic of him.

He has all the reason in the world to smile.

But if you're not sure of the illustration, I may be able to describe it.

I can't max out with one check but I do send $50 or sometimes more at a time. Wish I could send more but maybe eventually I will hit the $2700 if he's able to make it past Super Tuesday. Even those of us with decent incomes are still paying off all the student loans. And what I love about Bernie is that he actually understands this and wants to change this status quo.
