Friends -

Raising money is one of the worst parts of having to run for office in this country. The outrageous sums it takes to run and win elections in the United States is one of the reasons Congress doesn't regulate corporate America, but corporate America regulates Congress.

I am proud of the way our campaign raises its money. You should be too. We don't have a super PAC, and I am not relying on millionaires and billionaires for money. This campaign is funded by lots of people giving small amounts of money, each with a unique reason to give, all of whom have had enough of the billionaire class buying our elections.

Tonight, our campaign faces an important challenge — the first official FEC fundraising deadline with a full slate of candidates. So, I need to just come right out and ask directly:

Can you make a $2.70 contribution to our campaign before tonight's FEC fundraising deadline comes to a close? We would not ask if it were not so important.

Today, virtually no piece of legislation can get passed unless it has the okay from corporate America — and that is because corporate America funds almost every other campaign in this race.

But not ours.

In solidarity,

Bernie
