Bernie’s Rally Tonight in New York City as He is Within Reach of Record-Shattering Fundraising Total

Submitted by JekyllnHyde on Thu, 03/31/2016 - 5:27pm

Tonight is the fundraising deadline for the 2016 1st quarter. As this email fromJeff Weaver, Bernie's Campaign Manager, states they're within $1.3 million of their goal.

I don't think I'm too far off to say that this is a headline few in the political establishment would have thought possible even a couple months ago:

Bernie Sanders outraises Hillary Clinton for third month straight; aims to win Wisconsin on Tuesday

If we all pull together today, we could wake up to that headline tomorrow. And based on the response already today, I think it's very possible. These are all real contributions from folks who chipped in earlier for tonight's final FEC fundraising deadline before Wisconsin and New York vote.

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 $27 contribution before our critical midnight deadline, I think we’ll get there.

Contribute at this link and see the updated total here - https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/a-radical-idea?refcode=em1603...

Here’s the Live Stream link to the rally this evening.

Bernie in the Big Apple

Hoping to close in on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ahead of the New York primary, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is scheduled to hold a rally in the South Bronx on Thursday, where he will espouse his vision to get money out of politics, make college tuition free and combat climate change.

With 247 delegates up for grabs, New York is one of the biggest contests left, and Sanders would need a strong showing there to maintain his viability to beat Clinton and become the Democratic nominee. You can watch a live stream of the Bronx event at 7:00 p.m. EST right here. http://www.c-span.org/

Sanders, who is originally from Brooklyn, is intent on making New York a tight race.

Thought I would show you this:

[h]ttps://go.berniesanders.com/page/contribute_c/march2016/graphic?yo-we-like-big-goals-yall

That is the direct, auto-updating link to the graphic you are using.

If you use the image tool, paste that link in the top box and hit OK

The image will then auto-update with each hit or page refresh. The totals change about every 10 minutes or so.

Anyways... Paste it once and it will always be current, like the image in my comment below.

Hope that helps...

Bernie has the understanding and tolerance of a saint. I would be so pissed at unions, the black community who and whatever that is, and orgs like Planned Parenthood. After all he's done for them (I sound like someone's mother), how could they turn their backs to him for the Clintons of all people.

laying the wood to Clinton; it's astounding. He's drawing the contrast real, real sharp.

took over the game. I'm amazed by this evening on c99.

It's like c99 was sitting in a NYPD patrol car watching a poor old bag lady soiling herself while Bernie just robbed the bank behind you :=) Well, I wuv you all and thanks for being patient yet again with me. Have a peaceful evening and enjoy tomorrow's headlines. The magic carpet ride just flew into the air tonight. Happy days lie ahead.

Well, I guess she must have been there to disrupt the rally and draw attention to Sanders's lack of interest in the issues that concern the African American community ...

No pressure N.Y. but if you wanna stop war and stuff you gotta vote loud. Now is time. the nation turns it's eager eye's to you.

Wish we could replicate Ms. Dawson and send them out neighborhood to neighborhood, door to door. Or wait, we gotta do that.

Could it happen in my life time? I mean, I never thought I'd see the Berlin wall fall.
I sent $54 to Bernie. $27 for me. $27 for mom. Mom woulda loved Bernie.
