Check the details - it's a SECRET $2800 fundraiser. They won't tell you where it is until you commit George II Sep 2019 #6

Well, that's one way to keep wealthy donors from being bothered by any protesters who might highplainsdem Sep 2019 #8

He'll be speaking to the attendees. Do you think he'll release the transcript? George II Sep 2019 #10

You people are being brutal with the jokes. nt Blue_true Sep 2019 #12

BS has already held a secret location grassroots fundraiser with $2800 tickets? lapucelle Oct 2019 #22

That's the max. People who pay $27 are treated the same. Eric J in MN Oct 2019 #23

Where does it say that on the Act Blue page? N/T lapucelle Oct 2019 #24

Was the venue kept secret from the general public? Was it a closed-door event lapucelle Oct 2019 #48

The location wasn't secret. The speeches Eric J in MN Oct 2019 #53

So it was different than the FUNdraiser being held tonight at a secret location in Vegas. lapucelle Oct 2019 #57

The description of the event was practically the same Eric J in MN Oct 2019 #59

No one under 18 was admitted at last night's FUNdraiser. There was liquor and entertainment. lapucelle Oct 2019 #60

Dollar bills thrown at an SUV. I guess Bernie doesn't want that scene. nt Blue_true Sep 2019 #13

Well, that was one of the protests, one of the more memorable ones. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #15

$2800 is the maximum that can be contributed in a primary. Blue_true Sep 2019 #11

To be fair, you can pay less. Tipperary Oct 2019 #30

Not currently. NT TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #31

The link showed levels all the way down to $27, Tipperary Oct 2019 #36

Exactly. NT TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #37

Is ActBlue in the tank for BS or do they do these for all candidates? nt BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #4

Act Blue serves any candidate running in Eric J in MN Oct 2019 #21

And I thought it would be a flat $27 for all NYMinute Sep 2019 #5

$27 wouldn't buy a half washed glass at one of those things. Blue_true Sep 2019 #14

uh oh BlueMississippi Oct 2019 #26

Sounds what normal working people eat, eh? nt Blue_true Oct 2019 #49

They serve that stuff on chartered Delta airlines jets from NY to Rome and back. nt BlueMississippi Oct 2019 #55

Wow. nt Blue_true Oct 2019 #58

The Sanders campaign sent out a fundraising email today saying they don't do high-dollar fundraisers highplainsdem Sep 2019 #7

I got that email last night, and have received several over the past few weeks.... George II Sep 2019 #9

That twitter person seems very rational melman Sep 2019 #16

Don't know anything about her other than the two tweets I linked to and the KHive reference highplainsdem Sep 2019 #17

Twitter is the key word. BlueMississippi Oct 2019 #27

That's simply not true. That person doesn't have ANY pinned tweets as far as I can see: George II Oct 2019 #33

Pinned tweet, top retweet... melman Oct 2019 #42

Pinned tweets are entirely different from retweets, but that's your opinion... George II Oct 2019 #43

" It's not a universal opinion." melman Oct 2019 #44

Not its not fact, as you well know. George II Oct 2019 #45

It certainly is melman Oct 2019 #46

She does seem very rational. N/T lapucelle Oct 2019 #35

Such hypocrisy PhoenixDem Oct 2019 #29

The 0 ticket sales above the cheapest reminds me of studies Hortensis Oct 2019 #41

There's nothing that indicates there have been "0" ticket sales above 27... brooklynite Oct 2019 #51

Sorry, ahead of myself. That's the usual pattern for these things. Hortensis Oct 2019 #52

Ohhhh but the audacity of trying to get the big donations!! PhoenixDem Oct 2019 #56

As someone who will never give a penny to Sanders' Primary campaign, this doesn't bother me... brooklynite Oct 2019 #50

Thank you. cwydro Oct 2019 #54
