Bernie's campaign uses Act Blue too. This just keeps a total of $ donated by DUers and friends.

All the donated $ to Bernie goes to Bernie except for the actual charge card fee by law: http://support.actblue.com/faq#q15

Fees all vendors pay to use your credit card from a vendors perspective: http://paysimple.com/credit_card_rates_explained.html

IF you give a tip it goes to Act Blue, the most successful Democratic $ raising PAC for their in house expenses like rent, payroll, IT, etc.

I donated to Bernie's campaign yesterday. I didn't know about the DU for Bernie group or I would have donated through there. I'll be sure to do that when I donate again.

donate more when I can. With the Koch brothers throwing mountains of money to the Republicans, Sen. Sanders will need our help.

Thanks for the information on donating to Bernie doing it right now and leaving my tip to Act Blue, I think there server is being inundated with donations right now.
I think a lot of pundits out there in the land are going to be really surprised on what is now happening, he has beaten every announced candidate in money contributions and its all down to earth hardworking human beings making what they make paycheck to paycheck.

A lot of members have mentioned they donated before our DU for Bernie was online. There will be plenty of time to contribute over the next year. We have already passed the first two goals. It raises the goal when you get within a certain percentage.
