Related: About this forumLet's try something a bit wild - Contributed: $37,386,632 Goal: $40,000,000
Email from BernieToday is one of the most important days of our campaign: the final FEC fundraising deadline before Super Tuesday. Let me tell you why this matters.
Eleven states vote tomorrow, and twelve more vote over the next two weeks. It is the most important stretch of our campaign. And what todays deadline will tell us is whether or not working people coming together and contributing small amounts of money can compete with the millionaires and billionaires bankrolling Hillary Clintons campaign and her largest super PACs.
So I have a wild idea: I want to challenge you to help our campaign hit a goal that will absolutely astonish the political and financial establishment of this country. Its a bit of a stretch, but its within the spirit of this campaign to accomplish what everyone else thinks is impossible. So here it goes:
Make another contribution to our campaign and help us hit our goal of raising $40 million in February before tonights critical FEC fundraising deadline.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
We started today having raised $36,105,613 in February from more than 1.2 million individual contributions. I have no idea if we can reach our goal by midnight. But if we do, it will not only send an unmistakable message about the size and strength of our movement it will also ensure we have the resources to win this Democratic primary. Thats why your contribution before midnight is so important.
