Sanders grassroots for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ birthday raises $87,000 in 24 hours

Last edited Wed Sep 9, 2015, 09:07 AM - Edit history (1)

A grassroots fundraising drive for Senator Bernie Sanders’ birthday has raised $87,000 in just 24 hours.

At midnight on the East Coast, the group Grassroots for Sanders had raised roughly $87,000 for Bernie 2016.

Actor and director Mark Ruffalo donated to and promoted the moneybomb, saying he donated to Sanders because he defends labor rights and the middle class.

“We are ecstatic at having raised over $87,000 from today’s Bernie Birthday Moneybomb,” said Aidan King and David Fredrick, co-founders of Grassroots for Sanders.

He was a very early Sanders supporter and has been persistently doing all he can to help. I am going to see if he has a facebook book page. If so, I am going to like the hell out of that thing.

You all. But what little money I have is tied up in the $5 a month Bernie supporter plan. Thanks to all who donated.
