Stjepan -
Jamie is a mother of two putting herself through school in New York. She fears college debt after graduation, but made a monthly contribution to Bernie’s campaign because she has “a wild idea that the poor, middle-class, and working-class shouldn’t kill themselves to make the rich richer.”
Frances is a working senior from Garden City, Michigan who lost all of the money in her 401k in 2008. She is “tired but would feel so good if [she] knew a man like Bernie could bring some humanity back.”
She too is a recurring contributor to our campaign.
Bernie doesn’t have a Super PAC and he never will. But our campaign does have a Super PACK of supporters committed to taking back our democracy from the billionaire class.
Christopher is a pastor from North Carolina. He made a recurring contribution because “as a black man and a #BlackLivesMatter activist, [he is] so glad Bernie is listening.”
Margaret from Seattle is an Operation Iraqi Freedom combat veteran who made a monthly recurring contribution because of Bernie’s “stance on economic, women’s, and racial issues.”
Michael made his recurring contribution after seeing Bernie in Portland, Oregon last weekend.
There’s only a limited amount of time to get your Founding Member sticker. So make your recurring contribution today.
All the best,
Team Bernie
