John, I am writing to ask you to make a contribution to Mandela
Barnes' campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin. Please give me a chance to
explain why your contribution is so important -- especially today.
Tonight at midnight, Mandela faces the final FEC fundraising deadline
before his primary. Shortly after it ends, he is legally required to
publicly report his fundraising numbers.
The media, Mandela's opponents, and his allies will all look at this
report to determine whether he is building the kind of movement that can
win Wisconsin's Senate seat and defeat Ron Johnson.
Mandela is someone who will fight for an agenda that works for all of our
people, not just those at the top. And unlike most candidates for U.S.
Senate, he comes from a working-class background. His mom was a public
school teacher and his dad worked 3rd shift at General Motors.
The only way that Mandela will have the financial resources to win this
race is from lots of people contributing what they can. So before this FEC
deadline ends, it is very important that he receives as many donations as
possible.
That's why I am asking:
[ [link removed] ]Can you add your contribution for Mandela Barnes before his FEC
deadline tonight? He is relying on lots of donations in order to fund his
campaign.
At a time of obscene income and wealth inequality, outrageous corporate
greed, and the growing concentration of oligarchic power, it’s important
that we elect progressive candidates who are prepared to challenge the
status quo.
Mandela is running for U.S. Senate because he understands that we cannot
continue to tolerate a system where the very rich get much richer while
working families struggle to put food on the table and afford basic
necessities.
Mandela understands that we must strive to be a nation that eliminates
poverty and homelessness, and where every person has a livable income, the
right to join a union, and increased influence on the job.
And by the way, Mandela is running his campaign the right way, funded by
tens of thousands of people giving small donations -- no corporate PACs or
special-interest donors.
But right now, he is up against some very wealthy primary opponents who
are spending millions of dollars of their own money to self-fund their
campaigns. In order to keep up, Mandela needs our help ahead of this FEC
deadline.
So I am asking one more time:
[ [link removed] ]Can you please make a contribution to Mandela Barnes' campaign today?
Any amount you can give will make a big difference for his campaign.
As long as we are in this together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.
Thank you for adding your contribution to Mandela's campaign before his
important FEC deadline on July 20.
In solidarity,
-- Bernie Sanders
