Related: About this forum"Let's try something a bit wild"
We are doing something profoundly different in our campaign, Melissa. As of midnight last night, we have raised more than $36,105,613 from 1,209,108 individual contributions so far in February. It's a very impressive number, and one that we should all be proud of.
But we are still up against the billionaire class and their super PACs who are doing everything they can to stop our movement. So in the spirit of this campaign, we want to reach for an even bigger goal one that will absolutely shock the political establishment.
We're setting a goal of raising $40 million this month before tonight's midnight FEC fundraising deadline. It's a goal that I don't know if we can make, but I think it's very important that we try.
Please contribute $25 to help reach our goal of $40 million this month before tonight's FEC fundraising deadline the last deadline before Super Tuesday.
Help us reach $40 million for the month of February. Add your contribution now.
Contribute
Throughout the day today, you'll be able to see our progress of how close we are to our goal. We're also alerting the media about our goal, and they will be watching to see if we can succeed.
I understand that it's normal for most politicians to walk into a room filled with very wealthy people and beg for big checks for their campaigns. But as you know, this campaign isn't raising its money from the rich and powerful.
Instead we're holding a huge fundraiser all over America, starting right here in my email to you. And if all of us chip in one more time today, I think we can reach our goal.
Make a contribution of $25 right now to help us reach our very ambitious goal before tonight's midnight deadline.
No one else has funded a presidential campaign quite like we have. What we are doing is very special, and I know that if we continue to stand together, we will win.
In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders
