Check in if you've contributed to Sanders for President

I gave through the special DU fund that Omaha Steve set up at Act Blue:

https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforbernie

As of now, we're #1 as a group for Bernie on Act Blue!

https://secure.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/39795

Please help, if you can and as you can. Let's take back our country.

as we have done for every Democratic candidate running for President that I can tolerate. (My general rule is declare and I write a check ... unless I do not like you.)

Neither Chaffee nor Webb hasn't got a dime, and I'm still up in the air about O'Malley.

I'm a historian of Latin America, specifically Mexican indigenous populations. I'm working on a revision of my doctoral dissertation, which analyzed a small indigenous group and its relations with the Spanish colonial and Mexican national governments. So, the book is geared primarily for historians and anthropologists.

Knowing nothing about the subject, I'd think that a small group wouldn't survive contacg with larger, more-"advanced" populations - but I know nothing about the subject!

Good lucK!

one of my SS checks if he decided to run.
Have divided it into smaller payments.
Sheesh, it won't hurt me to eat more
peanut butter sandwiches for a while,
but losing or even reducing my SS altogether would
decimate me.

I'm a senior and disabled living on Social Security but I donated to Bernie because I know his issues are my issues and his fight is my fight.
I did a one time donation but expect to donate each month. I just wanted total control over my $$$.

$100 a month for 12 months and proud of it too. I recently came into better economics when my disability was upgraded from 70% to 100%. I need that money but America needs a President Sanders even more.
Should Senator Sanders lose to Hillary Clinton in the Primaries, I may vote for her but she won't get nor will she need any money from me.
