Bernie Sanders for President


David -

Late last week, news broke that a super PAC called “Progressive Kick” planned to start spending money in support of our campaign.

They should spend their money somewhere else. We do not want their help.

Here’s the truth: our campaign is funded by almost two million individual contributions from people who have had enough of corrupt billionaires and super PACs buying our elections. So despite the fact that we’ve been attacked by a super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton and another backing Martin O’Malley, we are going to sink or swim based on support from people like you.

I'm one of those 2 million people and I plan to give more as time goes on.

Seriously, this has been one of the most mellow primary seasons ever. Hillary doesn't even mention her primary opponents. Yet they bring her up every chance they get.

2. I take it you are comfortable with superPACs with unlimited contributions coordinating with HRC?

I can not imagine why any ordinary citizen would be.

That is true.

It does not say he is "UNDER ATTACK!!!" That is you.
