Paulo Augusto -

We’ve sent a couple fundraising emails since yesterday’s big announcement, so we thought it was important to take a moment to explain why these notes are so important to our campaign.

Here’s the truth: you cannot change a corrupt system by taking its money. And you cannot expect any candidate who courts the support of drug and health insurance companies, the fossil fuel industry, Wall Street and the big banks to actually take them on.

As you know, Bernie doesn’t run around the country begging those folks for money. This campaign is reliant almost exclusively on grassroots, small-dollar donations — most of which come in response to emails like this one.

So, as you see Bernie’s poll numbers climb and our organization grow, it is the response to emails like this that make it happen. And that’s why we ask:

Can you make a $3 donation to our campaign today? As you go, we go. Whatever we’re able to pull off in this campaign is going to be because people like you contributed to make it happen.

Remember, every donation is a declaration of support for our campaign and for the values we share. So it isn’t about how much money we raise, but how many donations we receive to fund our effort.

In solidarity,

Team Bernie
