What this campaign is about is you, the people in your community, and all of us coming together to take back our democracy. | Bernie Sanders

I am asking once again for your financial support. The Democratic establishment, their super PACs, and their billionaire donors are lining up and spending big to blunt our momentum. Now, I may not be a billionaire. We may not have a super PAC. But I know we can win because we have a historic movement of millions of people that is far more powerful than big checks from a few rich folks. So please, if you can afford it, send a donation right now. | Bernie Sanders
