I am calling it: It's the Donation O'Clock Fundraiser for the Bernie Sanders Group

He was great at the debate.

Do you want the Democratic nominee to be owned by Big Business or by Big Voter? It's up to you.

No excuses: I make an automatic monthly donation, but I just kicked in something extra. Minimum donation is a dollar.

(If you truly can't spare a dollar, I love you even more )

It's Donation O'Clock. No time like the present. Get on it. I mean it!

I was brought up to keep good deeds, charity and the like secret. I do still believe that you ought not brag about such things. However, a little bragging sometimes seems to encourage others. So I am always a bit conflicted.

But I donate when my retirement check is deposited, which is the last day of the month. So it will be a little while yet. (I did kick in an extra ten bucks on Veterans Day cuz Bernie takes care of vets, so I want to take care of him! )

Thanks for that link and post, I will read and use that info when my apolitical Vietnam vet husband complains that 'they're all the same'.

And yes, there is a difference between (1) claiming you support vets when you run for office and (2) claiming you can get things done (implying others do not); and actually getting pro-vet bills passed and actually getting things done.
