30 days ago DU for Bernie was averaging $3,000 a month on $12,000. What I thought was an out of reach goal for this month was $20,000. I set that amount about a week ago. We had that Monday night.
Bernie is now OVER $21,000 before the midnight deadline for the FEC!
I can't tell you how shocked I am that DU for Bernie has raised $9,000 in a months time!
$21,113 / 640 = $32.9875 per donation. That is more than $10 over Bernie's national donation average.
Our new monthly average is $4,200 a month!
It's time I shared a secret with you. Back in June when I made the trip to see Bernie, marym625 made a simulated check (8.5x11) and emailed it to me. It was for $4,000 to Bernie from the DU Bernie Group drawn on Act Blue. Because Bernie didn't know about it in advance, it was decided not to surprise him in front of the public. He wasn't handed the check until he got in the car by his manager. The photo below is about the time he was learning about the check!
Bernie and his campaign check in on the DU from time to time. Wait till Bernie learns about this.
Feel the Bern!

I would bet DUers have actually donated between $25K and $30K, using checks, other links, etc.

Yes, and many reflexively click on the link when they get an email from the campaign.

I think we'd even be higher up the poll, because I've been donating straight in response ...
