Friends -

When Bernie decided to run for president, people thought he was crazy for rejecting high-dollar fundraisers and a super PAC.

They said, "Bernie, you’ll never be able to raise what it takes to win." They said he had no chance. Others simply dismissed him outright.

But Bernie recognized something few had the imagination to even consider:

Despite our absolutely insane campaign finance laws, the working people of this country are ready to unite and fight behind a candidate who is authentically and manifestly ready to fight for them.

And that is why we have more donors and more contributions than any campaign in the history of American politics at this point in the race.

But the hard and honest truth is that we cannot let up. This is an effort that must be sustained from start to finish. That is our only chance. So today — especially today — we have to ask:

Can you make your first online $2.70 contribution to our campaign today as a way of saying you have had ENOUGH of the corporate and financial elite buying our candidates and our elections?

Time and time again we ask people why — out of all these candidates in the race — they support Bernie Sanders.

And time after time, the top answer is always the same:

People trust Bernie Sanders to fight for them. Because he always has.

Now that’s made him a lot of enemies along the way. Powerful ones. Ones with deep pockets.

But we have proven that they are no match for us when we are in this together.

We can’t stop now. Please make a $2.70 contribution to our campaign today:
