We need to double down on donating to Bernie's platform..

through actblue. It should anger every democrat that House Republicans refused to vote on anti-discriminatory lgbtq legislation and completely shut out any conversation about guns this week after the horrific shooting in Orlando. Bernie will be propping up progressive candidates who will be trying to flip seats from these republicans. This is a very important step in getting congress back. Even if you support Hillary, you can donate to them and help progressives beat republicans in upcoming races and the midterms. I assume Bernie will be expanding on this at the convention and giving people a way to support many down ticket progressive democrats.

They lost so much. They lost their sons and daughters. They lost their spouse.

They lost and are grieving and you advocate sending more $$$$$$ to Sanders. Please just send it to the families that are in pain.

Please.

Donate as often as you can. Donate to change gun regulations by getting the right people elected. Get the NRA out of our government. Make some real change for those families. Make them a promise that we will do everything we can to keep this from happening again. Donate to unseat these nasty republican congressmen who block every piece of legislation that could move the country forward. Lets comfort these families by making some real change and let them know their loved one means something.
