Win or Lose, I've got another $27 ready to send Bernie Sanders tomorrow.

I'm going to keep sending him $27 at a time until he drops out of the race, should that happen, and afterward if he has campaign debt I will send money to help him retire it.

He will be the only politician to which I will donate a single dollar to.

Now think about the differences between Bernie and the platform he is promoting and your candidates platform.

We give to charity and we give to politicians we believe in. How much we chose to donate to each is each our own business.

Make sure you stay under the total limit of $2700. Bernie's already in trouble because they keep accepting donations from people who have gone over the limit.

No progressives candidates for the House or Senate to lead the charge? Governors? City Council people?

Sad.

I have been watching the news networks tonight and Bernie is heavily advertising on Comcast owned MSNBC and Time Warner owned CNN. I guess Bernie is right, the redistribution of wealth to the corporations and top 1 percent. The corporations and their stockholders thank you.
