Bernie wants another $2.70 from you.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Wednesday sent out a fundraising email vowing to continue to fight for every vote and delegate — even after rival Hillary Clinton became the party's presumptive presidential nominee.

"When we began this campaign a little over a year ago we were considered to be a fringe campaign. But over the last year, I think that has changed just a little bit," Sanders said in the email.

The Vermont senator then touted his wins in 22 state primaries and caucuses. He said he is fighting to "transform our country," and urged people to "understand that we are in this together."
Sanders said he plans to fight for every vote in Tuesday's primary in Washington, D.C., and then vowed to bring his fight to the Democratic National Convention in July.

Still, he admitted there is a "very, very steep fight."

"But you know that what we are doing is about more than Bernie Sanders," he said in he email. "It is all of us together. It is what this movement is about. It is millions of people from coast to coast standing up and looking around them and knowing that we can do much, much better as a nation."

The email urges supporters to donate $2.70 to his campaign to help fight for a progressive future.

was for down ticket races. Proud to chip in a bit more if it means getting our progressive agenda to Philly.

in NJ.

We all know the stakes, I happily gave another contribution so that the needs of millions of people might have a voice.

I know that none of the four people in our family will be giving a dime in the presidential race soon enough, the Dem party made a choice when they selected their candidate, what that end will be, we will all find out, for better or worse. The Dems made a choice to include or exclude.

It has been made abundantly clear that many people are not needed.

Continue to disparage Sanders and his fight to include all people if you like.
