We did it DU - 1 million contributions!

...and if their figures can even be trusted?

but the importance of small donations is people willing to vote for Bernie! He is not collecting huge checks from corporations and investment banks.

I have no doubt Bernie is well in the lead in the number of people donating. It's a gauge of public support far moreso than how many million dollar donations has a candidate received?

is a good place to keep up with what all the candidates are getting for donations and where their donations are coming from

Kissing Koch (et al.) ass!

Way to go everyone.

WE made this happen with Sanders!

Timing seems about right.

This is so amazing!

come down from the ceiling when you hit send? Trust me, I WILL find out who messed up on that one!

The horns and whistles were so loud I assumed you heard it from there! Confetti and balloons everywhere! It just took a few minutes.

Sorry you missed it, marrily!

As you are in mine!

But, I received an e-mail saying, please help us reach one million, I donated, then received the email saying they hit the goal. So I'm close anyway!

and were worried he wouldn't get the one million contributions. But he did, and with each new victory, a ripple effect occurs and it expands into more victories.

Very exciting campaign, it's pretty historical.

I'm so happy to be a part of it!

We'll win the White House then, slowly but surely, Bernie Sanders will get this country on track to a bright future for all

nice.

That is just incredible.

while we all can keep sending our $1, $5, $20 etc... each month ... and there appear to be a lot of us!!

Bernie's campaign has stated that the average donation to him is just over $25 each.

Bernie Sanders Raises $24 Million, Powered by Online Donations Exceeding Obama’s 2008 Pace

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont raised more than $24 million for his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in the last three months, a significant sum that was fueled by a torrid pace of online donations: more than a million so far.

Interesting that so much money is going to someone we haven't heard much from yet. So, he must be their pick.

to wake up to what so many of us want. We have a long way to go, she already has delegates wrapped up! I AM very upset with our Congress Critters!

a little extra to send to Bernie this month.

About 1/2 ago I just made my 4th $35 contribution. Shush, don't let my husband know, he thinks I've only done it 2 times. So no telling what the total will be by tonight. AND, I talked to my sister who has been a huge Hillary supporter on the phone last night and we talked a lot about politics. She knows I've been a gun ho activist for years and she started asking me lots of questions. I "think" I changed her mind and she's very stubborn too.

She only has basic cable connection and I watch FSTV and RT, plus she knows about my blogging. As with so many Democrats & people all over the U.S., she knew very little about Bernie so I told her about his "socialist" stands. Asked her what's wrong with socialism and she said nothing, so I went on. Filled her in on some of Bernie's platform and asked her what she thought, she agreed with everything issue I talked about, BUT she was unaware that he only takes money from "we the people" no Super Pacs. She liked this fact a lot.

And I didn't bash Hillary, but told her some reasons why I'm not supporting her. One thing I did say was while yes, it would be great if we had a woman in the WH, we shouldn't simply vote for a woman because we've never had one. Told her that I needed to feel a real connection with who I was voting for and Bernie Sanders is the first candidate I've ever felt as much respect for. But I did say I was extremely upset with so many Democrats who touted the same issues as he does don't seem to have really meant it. Some of the most Liberal candidates have come out in support of Hillary. Also about DWS and her apparent bias against Bernie. But even bias of almost all our so called Democratic Congressional leaders. My thoughts that these leaders are acting like Repukes and are walking in lock step as if they "got the memo" that Bernie needs to be ignored as a viable candidate. This to me seems that the Democratic Party I joined many years ago no longer represent the "big tent" theory, but still want to say they do. Behind the scenes too many Democrats are as connected to Wall Street as Repukes.

Unfortunately, she's older than me and doesn't have a PC so I can only send her written statements about what he believes. Seeing him on uTube and other places are much more effective.

Anyway, in the past she always stuck to her guns... this time she listened.

experience with one of my sisters! She finally came around and thanks to my cutting and pasting skills (that's about it for my skills )
she became a Democrat in 2008 and supports Sanders. I also gave more $ than my husband knows about! Mum is the word!

the sister thing. But my sister has always been a Democrat since way back. Just wanted to give her a heads up about Bernie because she only reads local paper and has no PC. Limited TV too, just basic cable which I don't think has CNN or MSNBC! I don't watch them, but have alternative channels like FSTV.

But, we have out work cut out for us!!

all things being equal I'd like very much to see a woman in the oval office. We are long overdue. But all things aren't equal in this case. We have one populist who is depending upon us all to vote for him, and one candidate who is getting her donations from the very wealthy. Who will she be loyal to? The people who fund her.

The other stuff the Repukes are hyped up about didn't affect my decision about Bernie. But now since McCarthy shot his mouth off she's probably going to get a lot of sympathy! She already has our Democrats AND DWS who I've never liked or trusted.

That's a good example of how it can be done. Yes, I think an honest expression of why this candidate is different and why his campaign matters can make people stop and think.

My "elevator speech" in casual encounters is simply, "Bernie's for us. He's for the people," said with openness and a smile. Even if it just gets them thinking, gets them curious, it's a good start.

I support Bernie as opposed to attacking Hillary. Just talk about Bernie's pluses and tell them to check it out and make a comparison. While Bernie is gaining ground, our own Party seems to be doing whatever they can to make him go away.

So we need to pass his message on to those who are unaware of his platform.

deadline is midnight tonight and myself and I'm sure many others are gonna take advantage of those bernie swag discounts at Bernie's website!

I'm getting a mug!!!

sounds good.

but the money still goes to Bernie!

Not cheap. I'd like a Tee shirt.

GO BERNIE!!!!!!

so make that 1 million plus 1.

I bet there are quite a few folks doing that.

Yeah.... neither did I...


I was too young to appreciate Kennedy, but I'd imagine that it rises to the level of that feeling.

I donated again just before midnight cause I wanted to make sure Mr. Mickeys Dad was on board. Of course he was.

resonate in this right-of-center nation'! We KNEW it was lie, but could never prove it. NOW we can.

Maybe that's why it feels so good. He's blowing all their packaged, corporate funded lying, deceptive talking points out of the water! It's like watching the schoolyard bully being run out of town by someone who finally stood up to him.

I've worked my butt off for Democratic candidates in the past but it was always so that our side would win. This time, I'm supporting a candidate whose vision for America matches my own.

And one who I know is telling the plain truth about what he thinks and how he feels, not just "campaigning" to look good.

Bernie is the first candidate who has ever seemed entirely real and entirely GOOD to me. I didn't even know this could be possible.

It's a wonderful feeling. How lucky we are!

Thanks for bringing this to light, MrMickeysMom.

with the help of the American people. Refusing their Bribe Money and showing they CAN'T control everyone with their 'talking money'. It clearly doesn't talk to Bernie OR millions of other Americans.

for every $25 donation that comes in we realize these are the voters that are just scraping by. How many are not able to donate at all but will hear Bernie's message loud and clear? They will vote for him too. This is why debates are critical - and why Hillary Clinton et al are determined to squash them.

right now, but will as soon as they can.

The other politicians don't think we can have their backs. But he does. And we do.

a week ago, and last night, took advantage of the discount on gear and bought a tee shirt (along with another $10 contribution)! the fact that he has almost matched Hillary's haul without the need for corporate money bags is a sign that the people like what they see and he can win!! In the immortal words of Howard Dean: "YEEEAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!"

They reported the overall amounts, which are close, then noted that Hillary's contributions were split between very small and huge, making the average donation quite high, while Bernie's are consistently small and numerous. Guess which one represents genuine grass roots?

I have heard from several sources that very recently the Hillary campaign started begging people for numerous tiny donations.

I am so glad that NPR pointed out the difference.
