2. Can you let me know how much, so that I can match it?

For Sanders.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

4. Get the really big checkbook out. Lots of us are donating to Sanders today.

Have you seen the threads?

[Duckhunter935]

6. I just did

now twice in two weeks

[DisgustipatedinCA]

7. Excellent. If I'm not mistaken, you're a big 2A supporter, yes? Goes to show.

I'm not a gun person. I don't like guns, and I don't even like all of Sanders' positions on guns (although he really isn't bad). But I'm not here to pick a fight with you about guns. Instead, I'm here to appreciate Bernie Sanders for not pandering to me and to the majority of his followers who don't like guns. I appreciate getting the straight story from my candidate, even when I disagree with my candidate. That's a stand-up guy.

9. I am not a one issue voter

he does have a D- and I do not agree with some of his firearms policies. He is the best overall in my opinion.

[JRLeft]

14. Are you a member of the NRA too?

[Duckhunter935]

15. No

[restorefreedom]

18. my brother is a food hunter

said he dropped the nra because they were too wack a doodle and not listening to their members.

big difference imo between him and the people that profit off sale. those people can never be reasonable cuz all they see is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[litlbilly]

28. Just a quick not on Vermont. I was living in CT with my wife, we were in a rock banc and also did

a duet. had a gig in White River Junction VT. Getting ready to start playing and a cop walks in. We looked at each other and were a little worried. Who was getting arrested or what? The cop goes behind the bar, takes off his gun, puts on a apron, and now, hes the bartender A really nice guy. It was a great 4 day gig. Just how things are in VT. So I can see Bernies perspective on guns in a statle like VT. Not something you would see in say, NYC, Chicago etc. But still, Bernie gets a D- from the NRA so I'm ok with that.

[restorefreedom]

30. cool story. and i think vt has one of the lowest

if not THE lowest rate of gun violence deaths. so i can see where he is coming from. but the nuts at nra just want more more more so he gets his d-. pretty good rating for a progressive

[litlbilly]

34. The gun violence has gotten so bad, and cops shooting people at will now, it's perfectly resonable

for Bernie to evolve on the gun issue without any backlash. He is simply not gonna take a position on something just to get a vote or 2. That's why I'm a huge Bernie supporter .

[restorefreedom]

35. yup. he follows his heart, not the focus groups. nt

[pangaia]

41. +100

[DisgustipatedinCA]

17. To reiterate, I'm not going after you on guns, not at all.

I just wanted to point out that our candidate can take a prickly issue like guns and say it straight to his supporters, even if not all of us agree.

I'll argue guns with you in a different thread on a different day.

[Duckhunter935]

22. Did not think you were

[PatrynXX]

36. Not sure where Hillary went wrong on that one

Like hello out of the Republican playbook. claiming she's speaking for the people.. hey the folks in Vermont wanted that law. He listened he passed it. In the #1 safest stated in the union... what she's really saying is vote for me and I'm not gonna listen to you either.

[d_b]

48. same

I give what I can afford (which isn't much)

[neverforget]

16. I just gave $30 to Bernie.

[Bubzer]

32. Gonna match your donation!

[neverforget]

33. 30 for Bernie

has kinda of a ring to it doesn't it?

[pangaia]

42. I gave $10 yesterday.

And will add to that every so often. It's not much I know but... Maybe it will buy somebody lunch ..

[Bubzer]

47. Every dollar helps! Thank you for giving :)

[pangaia]

50. Don't thank me. Thank Bernie Sanders. :>))

[Bubzer]

51. ...

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. If you really care about her than save it for after she loses....

She'll be millions in debt to polling firms.

Just like the last time.

[pangaia]

43. Except this time she won't be broke.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

45. There was an article not too long ago that said she was spending 300K a month on polling....

That's EXACTLY what she did the last time.

Then there's her team of hangers on who don't come cheap.

[Duckhunter935]

49. She needs to figure out how to evolve

[DisgustipatedinCA]

3. Depending on whether or not Clinton gets the message, he may hit $5M tomorrow night. nt

[Duckhunter935]

5. and just got a little more from me

the coordinated attacks by the Hillary team need to be answered.

[sadoldgirl]

8. Me too, even though I am on SS. However,

I see it mainly as a political statement to counter
the vile campaign from the other side.

I hope that sooner or later they may take notice.

[PatrynXX]

37. I'm on SSD

don't have much right now. but did give $20 earlier and so far it's around $35 total so thats way more than I ever gave to Obama. after Chelsea Palin came out swinging in the mud I gave it out. seriously Chelsea acting like a Palin

[Uncle Joe]

10. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, firebrand.

[leftofcool]

11. Good. Maybe he will start helping other Democrats instead of making stupid ad buys

[Green Forest]

12. Don't talk about Hillary like that.

[leftofcool]

13. Hillary has already raised millions for down ticket Dems

Bernie doesn't have enough money to piss on much less win a general election.

[Green Forest]

20. Bernie just raised over $3.1M and counting since Unlikeable, Untrustworhy Hillary and Chelsea Lied

Don't you worry, there's plenty more where that came from, too.

[leftofcool]

26. I doubt it. There is only so much holy money to go around.

[roguevalley]

44. wow. bitter

[greiner3]

46. WTF does "...holy money..." mean?

If spellcheck got hold of it, I still can't figure out WTF you meant

[restorefreedom]

19. why are ad buys stupid?

All the candidates do it, yes?

[leftofcool]

27. Nothing wrong with them at all

But, Bernie promised to also raise money for down ticket Democrats. He has yet to raise a penny.

[restorefreedom]

29. when did he do that?

and it is still early...

[sabrina 1]

21. David Brock is becoming one of Benie's top fund raisers.

[Duckhunter935]

23. Indeed

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. Gotta love it! The more she attacks him, the better his campaign does....with fundraising AND he

attracts more voters!

Her campaign is imploding!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

40. No problemo

[Akamai]

38. Yup! I sent him 50 dollars plus 20% tip = 60 dollars tonight! If Hillary wins I sure

will support her wholeheartedly! But at this point, and for many reasons, my support is for BERNIE! BERNIE! BERNIE! BERNIE!
