Hitting our midnight goal will shock the establishment and help us win Wisconsin

Xxx -

Bernie doesn’t go around asking millionaires and billionaires for money. There are no oligarchs waiting in the wings to save us.

If we are going to win in Wisconsin on Tuesday, it’s going to be because millions of Americans have come together to say they have had ENOUGH of billionaires buying our candidates and elections.

It’s still a long shot, but it looks like we have a chance to reach our goal of raising more money from individual, small-dollar contributions in March than we did last month. And if you add another contribution before our critical midnight deadline, I think we’ll get there.

When we started this campaign, no one gave us a chance in the world. They said our ideas were "radical," that we were a "fringe" campaign not to be taken seriously. They said there was no way we’d be able to compete with the millionaires and billionaires lined up to fund Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

But what we are doing on this campaign is proving the doubters wrong, and we are doing it time and time again.

We’ve won six of our last seven contests and have a chance to do very well in Wisconsin on Tuesday night. The political establishment and financial elite in this country are dead set on stopping our momentum. But if we continue to stand together, we are going to win.
Make another contribution to our campaign before our critical midnight FEC fundraising deadline and we are going to hit our goal and do very well in Wisconsin.

Reaching this goal would send a very powerful message to everyone paying attention (and there are A LOT of people paying attention) that not only are we not going anywhere, but we are going to win.

Contributed: $ 41, 214, 582

Goal: $43,948, 784

In solidarity,
Jeff Weaver
