48. My 9-year-old made a contribution--true story

Thu Oct 1, 2015, 08:48 AM

Oct 2015

Last week, when he was walking into the local Bernie office with his mom, he found a quarter on the sidewalk. When he went inside, he told them that he wanted to donate it to the campaign. So they took it, put it in an envelope, and I'm pretty sure they gave him a receipt.... needless to say, he's pretty popular around the office!

...and i'll stop bragging about my kid now!
