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

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

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

(31,849 posts)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.

a la izquierda
(12,336 posts)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.

(34,589 posts)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!

We have also donated to Bernie through Act Blue in the past, but the donation yesterday was made through his website because that's where his email link took us.

(3,431 posts)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.

(18,494 posts)hope to give more later and volunteered!
Already contributed three times through Bernie's website before the DU Act Blue page was set up. Have now committed $35/month for 12 months through the Act Blue DU page. Also volunteered. Am so very happy he made the decision to run. He would be an awesome president!

(34,195 posts)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 $$$.

(3,306 posts)I gave before Steve sat up the DU fund.
chknltl
(10,558 posts)$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.
