HAPPY SEPTEMBER 8 BIRTHDAY SENATOR SANDERS! DU, THIS IS BIRTHDAY MONEY BOMB DAY! And song.




Omaha Steve's DU ActBlue donation link https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforbernie

As most of us know, Omaha Steve has been doing yeoperson's work raising money for Bernie via the DU account OS set up for us at ActBlue.



I suspect it does Omaha Steve's heart good every time he sees the total increase and a new goal get set. So, PLEASE use Omaha Steve's link to DU's account to launch your personal birthday money bomb and not the campaign's link.

If you love your family, friends and fellow Americans, and believe Bernie will work to make things better for them, please do this. If you want to help counteract the media's treatment of Bernie, please do this. Even if you just think Americans need to hear what he says about issues, please do this. The donations of average Americans are the ONLY way he will be heard. Make the very best one time and/or recurring donation that you can, even though the minimum donation is one dollar.

AFTER you are finished with the DU account donation portion of Bernie's Birthday celebration, if you wish, you are able to wish Bernie a happy birthday and even leave a personal message (Again, use Omaha's Steve's link for donations, though, not the campaign's link.) https://go.berniesanders.com/page/s/happy_birthday_bernie Obviously, your donation is the most important part of today's celebration, and it will convey your birthday wishes, even if you don't have time to "sign" the birthday "card."


For your reading pleasure today: http://observer.com/2015/08/the-great-bernie-sanders-birthday-moneybomb-is-coming/

For your listening pleasure today: (Today's song is an obvious choice, sigh):





And, if it has somehow escaped your attention, I love and am very grateful to each and every supporter of Bernie Sanders at DU, including, of course, each and every member of the Bernie Sanders Group.

This is an awesome group of dedicated creative volunteers doing an amazing job of trying to cover Bernie's event and discussing issues. They need the subscribers to get more support which equals more broadcasts.

Thanks again!!

We ALL need to hear Bernie.

"There's nothing a great country cannot do."

That alone is worth every dollar I've donated to Bernie so far and every dollar I will donate to Bernie.

DU doesn't get "credit" for a donation unless you use Omaha's Steve's link. For future reference, Omaha Steve's post containing the link is pinned in this group. But, of course Bernie will get the money..

The link that takes you to the birthday "card" is also in my OP.

and I was looking for a post like this so I could could add my Birthday gift to the others at DU. I set up a monthly donation before I knew about the DU link so it doesn't count to the DU total. But this one will. Thanks y'all and thanks, Bernie.

I did $88...what the hell, it's only money and it's going to Bernie!

I do have a $10 per month also going in that I had set up via Bernie's site...I wonder if I could cancel
that and then restart it through OS's link?

Happy Birthday Bernie!

Just let the campaign know that they are not entitled to keep drawing on the original commitment. That is extremely kind of you and I know it means a lot to Omaha Steve. Therefore, it means a lot to me.

You're an to take the time and trouble to do that.

All this is extremely uncomfortable for me because I was raised not to say things like "I donated" or "I volunteered." Now that is ingrained in who I am. However, in this context, I think/hope it spurs others?
