Letter from Bernie. I have his back, like he has ours. Fight on, fellow Berners, fight on!

When we started our campaign 10 months ago, Marianne, I don't think you could find a single person who would believe you if you said Bernie Sanders would win nine states by this point in the campaign.

Last night we beat all the polls in almost every state. We earned a significant number of delegates, and are on track for the nomination. Here's why:

What you will not hear from the political and media establishment is that, based on the primary and caucus schedule for the rest of the race, this is the high water mark for the Clinton campaign. Starting today, the map now shifts dramatically in our favor.

Arizona, Idaho, and Utah are up next Tuesday. Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington State caucus the Saturday after. Then it's Wisconsin's turn to vote.

That means we have an extremely good chance to win nearly every state that votes in the next month. If we continue to stand together, we’re just getting started for our political revolution:

Make a $3 contribution to our campaign and we can win this Democratic primary, the White House, and take our country back from the billionaire class.

No one said a political revolution would be easy. We are up against a billionaire class and super PACs that are determined to see us lose.

The fact remains that Hillary Clinton’s lead will never be as large as it is right now. From here on out we keep chipping away until we take the lead. But that can only happen if we keep fighting, and that’s why your $3 contribution to our campaign is so important.

The whole country will be watching to see how we respond in this moment. Let’s send a message that millions of Americans are just as ready to fight for an economy that works for everyone as we were when this campaign started 10 months ago.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

there are stupid, STUPID stories in the "news" today. Here is one that I commented on:
http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/bernie-sanders-is-out-but-he-has-more-influence-on-the-future-of-the-democratic-party-than-hillary-a6934381.html

Evidently they have deemed Bernie as "out". Wow - so now they speak for Bernie!!

PLEASE add you thoughts!
