Odd that we select the heads of agencies by who is most qualified. But we select Presidents by whose personality we like best

Bernie is building a Super PACK!

(From an email)

Xxx -

Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and Hillary Clinton all have Super PACs to raise unlimited amounts of money to support their campaigns. They're funded by millionaires, billionaires, and even some We don't want any part of that. Bernie's not going to have a Super PAC.
corporations.

But we do want to build a Super PACK of supporters—folks who give a monthly contribution to our campaign, even if it's just a couple bucks.

Join Bernie's Super PACK with a monthly contribution to our campaign:

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Express Donate: $5 a month
Express Donate: $10 a month
Express Donate: $25 a month
Express Donate: $100 a month

Or, donate another amount.

When you join Bernie's Super PACK, we'll also send you this great sticker so you can let your friends and neighbors know how you're taking on the billionaires.

Monthly contributions are so critical to our campaign. The reason we're asking you to give monthly is because it gives Bernie's campaign a sustained, predictable source of revenue.
Knowing that every month we'll be able to count on contributions from our Super PACK means that we can build the organization we need to win.

The billionaire class shouldn't be able to buy our democracy. But they're trying. So far, Super PACs have raised nearly $300 million, according to the New York Times. Most of that money comes from some of the wealthiest people in America.

In fact, donations from fewer than 400 families account for half of the total money raised so far for the presidential election. Thanks to the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision, there are even shell corporations donating more than a million dollars a piece to support candidates on both sides of the aisle!

We may not have the billionaire class or shadowy corporations, but we have you, Xxx.
Can you join Bernie's Super PACK by adding your monthly contribution today?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thanks for standing with us as we build our campaign.

- Team Bernie
