Friends -

It takes an obscene amount of money to run for president.

Normally, someone like Bernie, who refuses to have a super PAC, and who does not have high-dollar fundraising events or accept money from billionaires, would have a very tough time running for president.

The good news is our political revolution is powerful enough that we can compete with people who do accept that kind of money. Our average donation is just $18. Bernie is enormously proud of that fact.

The job in front of us before tomorrow’s FEC fundraising deadline is to reach a milestone that is unprecedented in the history of American politics at this point in the race: 5 million contributions since the start of our campaign.

If we reach 5 million contributions by tomorrow at midnight, we will be in an incredible position, one that will set us up to do very well in Iowa and beyond. And so I am asking you to make a contribution to help us reach that goal.

Please contribute $2.70 — or whatever you can afford — and make the donation that will get us to 5 million so that we can win this election, defeat Donald Trump, and transform our country.

Hitting our goal of 5 million contributions would send an extraordinary message about the power of our campaign. I hope that you can make a contribution in response to this message.

Thank you for all you do.

In solidarity,

Faiz Shakir
