Nathan Place ; MONEY TO BERN Bernie Sets Fundraising Record, Again

In March, Bernie Sanders set the record for the highest amount of money raised by any 2016 presidential campaign in one month. Who held the previous record? Bernie Sanders, in February.

The Sanders campaign raised $44 million in March, more than any other candidate in either party. That surpassed its record in February, when it took in $43.5 million.

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, raised a comparatively paltry $23.5 million in March, and was out-raised by Sanders in January and February as well.

Sanders’ campaign announced their haul in a press release Thursday night, in which they pointed out, of course, that the average donation they

...and it was amazing how many one dollar and five dollar donations were clicking through. I didn't see any donation over $27. End of the month for many people who would like to give more

They're witnessing the power of the people. Combined, the 99% is unbeatable. If Bernie needs $50 million dollars next month, the month after and the month after that, he'll get it. Why? Because we all know when Bernie is president, that money comes back to us tenfold in the improvement in our lives.

He deserves every damn dollar!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

3 donations totaling $65.

I'm about to start April with the $1.00 money bomb.

The more the opposition spits and spews the bile, the stronger we become.

Go Berners for Bernie.

more supporters he will gain more contributors. I think
there is a snow ball effect going on. Hillary is stuck. Bernie
has momentum. I'm hoping it's enough to take New York.
I've never been so engaged in a political campaign. Of
course the Internet makes a huge difference. They can't keep
us at arms length like they're used to doing. Like someone
posted earlier the emperor has no clothes!

I'm quite concerned by reddits signal concerning the NSA. They (NSA) will do anything necessary to keep the very privileged in control.

It is empowering to me personally that I voted with my donations.
And ballot. And signs. And volunteering. And talking with people helping them decide to vote for Bernie.
