Bernie Sanders for President
Dear merrily,
This campaign is about people coming together and standing up for each other to improve the lives of all Americans, and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors.
So when all of the presidential candidates speak at the Iowa Democratic Partys Jefferson-Jackson dinner later this month, I am heartened to know that the crowd will be packed with the people who power our political revolution: working Americans who have had ENOUGH of billionaires and corporations buying our elections.
Ive heard that so far supporters have helped us purchase over 1,350 tickets to the event for Iowa students with crushing debt, workers who need a raise, and the volunteers who work daily to help us win. But we still have about 500 more tickets we can buy for additional supporters who otherwise would never be able to attend an event like this.
Make a contribution towards an Iowa Jefferson-Jackson dinner ticket for one of our supporters and send a message to the national political media about our movements willingness to stand with each other.
Donate $10
(1/5 of a ticket)
Donate $25
(1/2 of a ticket)
Donate $50
(1 ticket)
Donate $100
(2 tickets)
Donate $250
(5 tickets)
On the night of the Iowa Jefferson-Jackson dinner, were going to send a powerful message to everyone watching that when we come together, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish. And that includes winning the Iowa Caucus, the Democratic Primary and the White House, and taking back our democracy from the billionaire class.
In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders
There are links in my email for each dollar amount that did not show up as links in this post. Using Omaha Steve's DU Act Blue link will not indicate that you are donating for tickets. I am not sure how to handle this. I'm so sorry.

I just donated a ticket. That's a good amount as I just got the email yesterday...1350 already.

(88,117 posts)3. Just thinking, that's going to be a big dinner.
If there are still 500 tickets to be bought, and yet 1350 have been purchased by Bernie supporters already....that's a lot of people at a dinner.

(1,573 posts)4. Just bought a ticket through my SO's email...
...and credit card, I might add. We donate monthly through DU on mine, and use his for the "special" donations. We use the DU link for those also, but couldn't for this one.
