Bernie Sanders raises $1.5 million in 24 hours
Advisers to Bernie Sanders have argued that his grassroots network of small-dollar donors could raise him the roughly $50 million the independent senator from Vermont will need to run a credible, competitive campaign in the Democratic presidential primaries.
They may be right.
On Friday, the Sanders campaign announced that it has raised more than $1.5 million online in the 24 hours since he announced his candidacy. It is a surprisingly heavy haul for a candidate whom some in the Democratic chattering class have cast off as a gadfly and viewed as unable to wrest the nomination from the overwhelming favorite, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The donations came from a broad base of supporters -- some 35,000 donors who gave an average of $43.54 a piece, according to the Sanders campaign. The campaign also said it signed up more than 100,000 supporters through its website, building what it calls a "mass movement."

god job Bernie
I gotta pay more attention to what forum I'm posting in. I have a bad habit of joining stuff from the front page. My only excuse is that when I last posted at DU years ago they didn't have all these groups.
I will self delete but also wanted apologize. I was mostly just joking, but this is not the group to do it. 
I'm starting to really like this 
He knows what he's doing.
