He’s with us and now we need to be with him. If you can’t afford it, don’t give. But if you have little, toss it in.
Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign on Thursday announced it is aiming to surpass last month’s fundraising record of $43.5 million.
Sanders has now received 6.2 million individual contributions from more than 2 million donors since the campaign began last year.
“Our campaign is building the momentum we need to win the nomination and beat the Republicans in November,” said Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager. “More and more people are joining Bernie’s political revolution every day and we’re hopeful our supporters will help us reach another big goal for the month of March.”
Trying to reach last month’s record of $43,498,794.
As of 5:43 p.m., eastern time, Bernie is up to $42,179,139 for March. About $1,320,000 to beat the record. We have six hours to do so!
This money will pay for ads and staff in New York, Pennsylvania, and onward. I’ll update as I can.
If you have a few bucks, toss them to berniesanders.com or to BNR for Bernie (goes to today’s BNR — link is at bottom of post).
Update I: I may be gone from time to time. Just keep updating the number in the comments and I’ll update in the post when I get back.
