(104,255 posts)We did a little over $1,000 this week.
Plucketeer
(12,882 posts)I gave again, today, thru this DU connection - which is how I'll do it from now on.
We're retired middle class - the wife and I. For years, I collected "stuff" that I had an interest in. It would be best summed up as automobilia - badges and nameplates off of old cars and trucks. I always wanted to display it all on the walls of the shop I figured I'd have to tinker in in my later years. But even tho I now have that shop, my interests have changed. Now all this old metal is just stuff - stuff that needs to be liquidated before my time runs out.
So..... I'm going to start selling it on ebay and give the proceeds to Bernie. I may be surprised by what some of it brings - I hope so. Either way, my heirs wouldn't have a clue what to do with this stuff besides try and sell it as scrap. I'd rather leave them a better world than a box of scrap metal.
And then there's my bud vase collection......

(5,400 posts)I'd previously made two five dollar donations but now this one was though the DU group. I had also sent money to Senator Sanders back when he had gone to the floor and delivered his hours long speech against continuing record tax breaks for the 1%.
As Sanders keeps it real, I too will make an effort to keep it real from my end. I hope there's an intangible something that goes along with our small donations. It's no coincidence that we the people have less "voice" (money is free speech, they tell us) than ever.
I have high hopes for the early primaries and caucuses. We'll see what happens when it isn't the checkbooks of one's supporters that are doing most of the talking.
I'll send another fiver after we get some great news from the campaign trail. That shouldn't be too long from now, in my estimation.
StandingInLeftField
(972 posts)...but this time through DU for Bernie! I'll be using our DU ActBlue account from now on.

(38,613 posts)So I sent $5 just now
TBF
(34,986 posts)$500 to date ($200 today - wanted to do the best I could before the deadline). Donated through Bernie's email so the campaign would know I responded.
Good luck Bernie - we are with you!
TexasBushwhacker
(20,809 posts)DU is actually the #3 group in donations via ActBlue. WOOT!
FYI - I'm unemployed.
KingCharlemagne
(7,908 posts)it important that DU receive credit for this? The email came to my yahoo.com email addy and I created an ActBlue 'Express' account from the link in the email.
$3 makes me the last of the big-time spenders, I know, but it's really all I can afford after I took a 30% pay cut but no reduction in my fixed monthly expenses.
Babel_17
(5,400 posts)And those who can, and do, donate more are also a critical part of this movement to bring back government to the people.
Like that headline on the opening credits of the TV show Cheers, "WE WIN!", that's the victory we're playing for.
If you can make another donation in the future, use the link in the original post.

I just want to know if something gets mailed to my house if I make a contribution. I live with my father who watches fox news, and would like to know ahead of time if I'd need to prepare for any potential drama in case a "Thanks for donating to Bernie" thing comes in the mail.
Thanks!

But this is too big of a deal not to support it to the best of my abilities. I DO NOT want a Wall St. puppet or a megalomaniac in the White House. I want someone who works for OUR good.

GO BERNIE GO
theres a fellow from up in Vermont
he wants to be the US president
speaking so much truth you can hardly believe
that this is a man who works in government
hes telling it plain and simple
how we got to end this corporate rule
and if you stand against what this mans saying
youre either super rich or youre a fool
hes a fighter dont you know
not your average politico
he aint happy with the status quo
go Bernie go - go Bernie go
he wants universal health care
and more funding for the peoples education
wants to end military adventurism
and focus on fixing the nation
a fair shake for the working man and woman
and start taxing the rich like we should
stop selling our government to the highest bidder
and start working for the common good
he aint no tool of no CEO
no errand boy for Monsanto
no Wall Street bankers friend
hes their foe
go Bernie go - go Bernie go
the only man or woman on the campaign trail
to talk plain about racial injustice
disproportionate numbers of blacks in prison
and how were way overdue to discuss this
he says when anyone dies in police custody
it must be thoroughly investigated
his positions on these crucial issues
have been clearly and repeatedly stated
he knows that progress has been too slow
in the fight against the new Jim Crow
is he afraid of the racists? oh hell no!
go Bernie go - go Bernie go
now one last thing id like to impart
dont you believe it when they say hes unelectable
id say the source of that particular idea
is very very easily detectable
its the Wall Street banks
hey, Goldman Sachs CEO
calls Bernie a danger
coming from someone like that
thats a powerful endorsement
Bernies gonna be a game changer
theres a new kinda wind thats about to blow
a new kinda seed thats got to sprout and grow
hes a breath of fresh air and we need him you know
go Bernie go - go Bernie go
