Who gives money to Bernie Sanders? *interactive map at link*

[grossproffit]

Small-dollar contributions have been the fuel that has propelled Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential bid, making it one of the most successful insurgent campaigns in Democratic party history, but little has been known about those donors because campaigns don’t have to publicize the names of people who give $200 or less.

Now, a Times analysis of nearly 7 million individual contributions has provided unprecedented detail about the army of people behind the $27 donations Sanders mentions at virtually every campaign stop.

1. Yep, and yesterday somebody posted the top 20 Hillary donors.

Very peculiar how several were labor unions, and particularly building trades unions, the only real growing unionized sector. Those unions represent well over 8 million working men and women.

3. Of the top 10 Bernie donor zipcodes, 14850 (Cornell U) came in 7th nationwide

I was so proud to see the idealistic spirit of my Cornell class of 1969 still thriving. Tho not surprised at all. Cornell has always been the most liberal, populist of the Ivies.... home since the sixties to the Francis Perkins ILR School to the recent movement that accomplished New York's ban on fracking originating at the Cornell Law School.

Sorry, just "qvelling" I know, but this article didn't mention Ithaca/Cornell so I wanted them recognized. That zipcode chart is actually pretty interesting btw if you believe donor interests // candidate agenda.
