We're sending Bernie the numbers in the morning.

Friends -

Before the end of the day, closing the gap between where we are and where we need to be will require picking up the pace of our individual donations and asking for a slightly larger contribution to increase our average for the month (which is currently at $16).

If you make your first online contribution of $5 we will be in a GREAT place for our August fundraising goal. Use this link to add your contribution before the end of the day:

No doubt our opponents are already planning their end-of-month fundraisers at the homes of wealthy donors. But Bernie doesn't do that — he has us.

- Team Bernie



Amazing News: We have more donations than any candidate in this race. By a mile. And that includes Trump. We are the ONLY campaign that can say that.

Tough News: Despite that extraordinary grassroots advantage, we were out-raised last quarter by a pair of candidates who rely on private, high-dollar fundraisers.

Thankfully, the pace of our donations has picked up in August. But, the average donation has dipped — down to $16.

So before the end of the weekend, we’re hoping to close the gap in one of two ways: either pick up the pace of our individual donations and/or have supporters make just a slightly larger contribution than they might otherwise.

Normally we ask first-time online donors to make a contribution of $2.70 or whatever they can afford. But if you could make your first online donation of $5 or more, we’d be in GREAT shape. What do you say?

Can Bernie count on you to make a $5 contribution to our campaign before the end of the weekend? We’re really hoping to close the gap on our opponents right here, right now.

Here’s the truth: campaigns are staffing up and some are already on television. This is the period of time where campaigns are won or lost. And if we can close the gap this quarter, we’re going to be in the best position to win this campaign, defeat Trump, and transform our country.

All my best,
