I want to be direct with you. Emails like this are what drive the majority of our campaign’s fundraising.
When you read messages like this — when you see me or Faiz asking you in an email to make a contribution — it is because this is how we fund our campaign.
And so even though I don’t like asking people for money, sending emails is a lot better than asking rich people for money at fancy fundraising events.
Today I am writing you because our campaign has set a benchmark for the middle of this fundraising quarter. That is Friday at midnight. And we are slightly behind our goal. That is why I’m asking you to make a contribution to our campaign if you can:
We do not have a super PAC. We do not have any billionaires. We have you, and more than one million others in our political revolution. Thank you for being a part of our movement.
In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders
