I just donated another $25 at 3:20 this morning!

For those that can, we need to get a good start to this month! He has made the commitment to go all the way to convention. We knew this months ago. We are now down the this long stretch we knew was coming...many states to go between now and California. Many people to see and talk to, to get our message out.

Bernie has not mentioned this yet, but that kind of commitment against the most powerful political force in this country, if not on this planet, will take a not insignificant amount of money to yet finish the task at hand- namely taking back our democracy from the elite and wealthy powerful interests who are currently gaming the system for themselves.

We have several more months to go! California, DC, and everyone in between deserves to have their voices heard and their votes counted, as do the US territories to go!

Please join me if you are able! I would never ask you to do more than you can afford, and neither would Bernie. I gave $25 as a first crack this month. If you can only give a Tubman, do that. If you can only afford $5 do that. Bernie appreciates it all. Finally, if all you can afford is your time, then donate some hours to his campaign. California is a YUGE state, and I'm sure he could use some volunteers there or elsewhere this month!

Peace, Love, and Bernie Sanders!

We are so much more fortunate than followers of Hillary or Trump. We support someone who burns with his message but who tell the truth, elicits harmony and joy from crowds, and models really good behavior for us all.

And so we go forward toward the convention with no fear, no shame, no investigation hanging over us. Just a deep longing for progressive ideals to prevail.

Once I saw that he was correct, by the rules, then I said "heh,heh"...The "old man" wasn't bullshitting us! Now, contrast that....

All the way to the convention; win, lose, or draw. I hope this comment doesn't get hidden by a jury.
