Today I doubled up for Bernie Sanders

I've been donating $10 a month to Bernie Sanders for the past 10 months. It's what I can afford, and it's not a lot in terms of dollars. But today, I decided to double it up-- to $20 per month-- and that's not a whole lot of money either, but it's an investment in the future of this country that my children will be left with when I'm gone, and I feel good about it.

I had this crazy thought that if lots and lots of people could join me and consider doubling their small dollar donations for Bernie, it would really, really add up. Anyone want to join me and double it up for Bernie?

I'm waiting for the General Election. That's when the money will be essential. I'm planning my budget.

is as essential in the primaries. If Bernie doesn't win the primary, he won't need your money at all.

Just individual candidates...( just Ted Strickland for Ohio US Senator). Wasserman Schultz can't run the DNC....this is my way of sending a message. I deleted every money request email....promptly.
