Friends -

I am writing to you today to ask if you can make a contribution before our next FEC fundraising deadline comes to a close later this week.

Let me be very clear:

We are in an incredible position to win this primary, which has members of the political establishment, financial elite, and corporate media all feeling a bit nervous.

They will be watching our campaign very closely during these final days before Iowa. And they will be waiting to see the numbers we announce after this FEC deadline.

So we need a lot of donations today. Because the only way we're funding this campaign is from lots of people contributing what they can, and we need an unprecedented number of donations to keep up with our billionaire-funded opponents.

That is why I am asking you directly:

Can I count on you to contribute $2.70 today ahead of our FEC fundraising deadline? Your contribution will help determine the success of our campaign.

Our campaign has received more individual contributions than any campaign in the history of American politics at this point in an election. That is incredible.

But let's not forget: We are taking on Wall Street, the insurance companies, the drug companies, and the fossil fuel industry. The whole damn one percent.

If we're going to win this thing – and I think we will – we will need to have the financial resources to take them on. That is why your contribution is so important, and that is why I need to ask:

Please contribute $2.70 to our campaign today. Every donation brings us one step closer to winning this primary while sending a powerful message about the strength of the movement we're building.

As long as we continue standing together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders
