Sanders campaign down to less than $6 million in cash EDITED

Here's the story:

http://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/sanders-campaign-down-to-less-than-6-million-in-cash

Can we money bomb? Dig deep, we got a ways to go yet... Yes I know we all are tapped out. I'm only talking to the ones who know they can. DOn't forget to use the Act Blue DU for Bernie link that Omaha Steve provided us:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1280&pid=9963

or alternately use the JR link:

https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/jackpineradicals4bernie?refcode=thermometer

He needs money equally as much or more than ever. We have to help him win big, right now! California awaits and it an enormous state. Then on to convention.

Thanks for hearing my plea. We are too close now to give up or let him down! We would be letting ourselves down, and the millions of Americans whom are hungry for this. Peace.

On edit: WE NEED to turn this into a REAL money bomb. PROVE them wrong. If you have any ideas how to do that beyond what I have posted, let me know: PM me or comment. Thank you.

They seem to just post in order to agitate. Maybe like the number 1 admin of the group could block them?

worked in that area. Yes , we all can do more and we will! We all can sign up to phone bank online from home, and I know there are some who still might decide to join that effort. If you are reading this, PLEASE DO! It really only takes watching a couple of quick videos and you can phone bank from home, even if just for 30 mins? It is pretty easy and you will be reaching out to voters in an upcoming primary state...Just imagine you are calling on your neighbors, because really you are! California is a YUGE state, so there are lots of people to reach.

Just once. Just one time. It really and truly might mean the difference between winning outright and being forced into further party battles and unsure outcomes. Wouldn't you really like to overtake Clinton in PLEDGED delegates? Remember, there are over 400 to be had! And right now, with Oregon still counting theirs up, we are right where we need to be at over 60% Somewhere more like mid 60's or 67 68? Don't remember some of the projected math numbers right now.

Think about what I am saying, get over your trepidation, whatever it may be. If you have fear of phones, or public speaking, or dread...Put it out of your mind, visualize the outcome, and then do it. You will be sou proud of yourself you will have tears flowing when he wins it outright and fairly by the rules. You will have something to tell your grandchildren.

Thank you for listening to my little pep talk. I'm signed up. I will be doing just this. Peace.

At the beginning of May, I donated my May and June contributions because I figured that Bernie needed the money right away.

Today I also donated a little more because I don't want to let Bernie down.

How is the campaign doing since May 1? Any info? Thanks.

PS I went to the rally in Carson and it was great!

then, yes, they'd be accused of hoarding it, for God only knows what nefarious and selfish purposes.

If the campaign had never raised huge amounts, it would have been claimed we were just selfish, wealthy, elites who didn't want to put our money where are mouths were.

Instead the Sanders campaign was accused of snatching money from unemployed destitute people. They forgot that retirees can donate.

We've been beyond polite to the Clinton campaign in public. The coming months will provide painful reminders of just how generous we've been. I predict it will be a thing wherein people will be aggrieved at how poorly they've been informed of Clinton's liabilities.

I'm a former Edwards supporter, so I have some sense of that.
