"KINGSTON CATS": December 2019

Last call

We are quickly approaching tonight's FEC fundraising deadline.

Our campaign has some ambitious fundraising goals to meet before it ends.

We've come too far in this campaign to come up short.

There is only one way we win, and that is together.

If you've been thinking about making a donation, there is no better time than right now.

Please make a contribution to stand with Bernie before this important FEC fundraising deadline.

Every donation will help determine whether or not we have the resources we need to win this primary. Please add your $2.70 contribution right now to stand with Bernie.

51,085 short

It's going to be close.

We have less than 8 hours until our FEC fundraising deadline comes to an end and we are about 51,085 donations short of reaching our 5 millionth donation.

That may seem like a lot, but we're actually on pace to get there. But we need folks to keep pitching in — we can't stop now. Can you add one more to our total? Use this link:

We'll keep you updated on our progress toward this goal.

In solidarity,

In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make one of the most important donations to our campaign for president. Please give me a chance to explain why this request — especially today — is so critical to our success.

You see, today is one of the most significant days of our campaign. It is the last FEC fundraising deadline of the campaign before voting starts.

And what we raise before tonight's midnight deadline is going to fund our campaign in Iowa, in New Hampshire, and in other states around the country.

So if you have been waiting for just the right time to make a contribution to our campaign, please do it before midnight.

Because when this deadline ends, we're going to not only release our fundraising numbers, but we're going to review those numbers and make our final budget plans. So this is important, and it is why I have to ask:

Can I count on you to make a $2.70 contribution to OUR campaign for president? It does not get much more important than reaching our fundraising goals before this deadline ends.

Every single donation we receive between now and midnight moves us one step closer to winning this nomination. So thank you — thank you so much for being such an important part of our victory.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

We're 126,209 donations short

Friends -

We just pulled the latest count, and we're currently 126,209 donations away from reaching our goal of 5 million before our FEC deadline ends tomorrow at midnight.

Now, that may sound like a lot of donations. But our movement is capable of closing the gap as long as all of us come together to make it happen.

If you've been waiting for the right time to make a donation to Bernie, there has never been a better day than today. Especially because right after this deadline, our campaign will be making important budget decisions for the final weeks before Iowa.

Can Bernie count on you to make a $2.70 contribution to our campaign today? You'll help reach our fundraising goals before tomorrow's FEC deadline while putting us in a position to win this race.

This is it. In a matter of weeks, this presidential primary will be underway. And it is what we do together during these next 36 hours that will determine whether our campaign has the resources required to win.

Our movement has all the momentum right now. And reaching our goal of 5 million donations will ensure we continue to hold onto our momentum as we approach the Iowa caucus.

If you can contribute today, we'll get there. How about it?

Make a $2.70 contribution right now – before tomorrow's final FEC fundraising deadline of the year – to get us to 5 million donations and keep us on track to win this primary.

There is nothing we cannot accomplish as long as we are in this together. Thanks for chipping in to stand with Bernie.

In solidarity,

Team Bernie

Your first $2.70 contribution today will help win Iowa

Friends -

Tuesday at midnight marks the final quarterly FEC deadline before this presidential primary begins.

Right after this deadline, our campaign will be making some big budget decisions about where to invest in the crucial weeks leading up to the Iowa caucus. Decisions that will determine our ability to win.

If you can make your first donation today, we're going to be unstoppable in this race. That's why we are asking:

Can Bernie count on you to make your first $2.70 contribution today ahead of Tuesday's FEC deadline? This is a critical moment for our campaign, and we can't risk coming up short.

What we are doing together on this campaign is unprecedented.

No super PACs. No fancy fundraising events. No wine caves. No funding from the billionaire class. No wealthy campaign contributors lining up to write big checks.

Just us.

Our opponents are counting on rich people writing $2,800 checks to win this primary. We receive donations averaging $18. And it would mean a lot to Bernie if you could add yours today:

Contribute $2.70 today – before Tuesday's FEC fundraising deadline – and together we are going to win this primary, defeat Trump, and transform this country.

As long as we continue standing together – making contributions, volunteering, and talking to our friends and neighbors about Bernie – we are going to win.

In solidarity,

A chance to explain

Friends -

In a moment, I am going to ask you to make a contribution to our campaign before tonight's debate. Please give me a chance to explain why this request — especially today — is so important.

Here is the truth about tonight's debate:

As you look at the stage and listen to some of the candidates, please know that I do not spend my time — not one minute of one day on this campaign — walking into some wealthy person's home and walking out an hour later with a few hundred thousand dollars.

And that is because we need a nominee with the guts to stand up to Wall Street, the drug companies, and the fossil fuel industry, not one who begs them for money.

This is a different campaign than you have ever seen before:

This is a campaign FOR the working people of this country, powered BY the working people of this country.

More volunteers than any campaign. And more than 4.5 million individual donations at an average of $18 a piece.

But before I take the stage tonight, it would mean a lot if we could add one more to that total. One we'll put right to work trying to win this race. Yours.

So here's where I ask:

Can you make a $2.70 contribution to our campaign before tonight's debate? I would not ask if it were not so important to our success.

We have a rigged economy in this country; one held in place by a corrupt system of campaign finance. And we will never change that system if we so eagerly take its money.

I will never do that.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

Can you make a contribution to our campaign before Bernie takes the debate stage tonight? We'll put your donation right to work winning this primary so we have the chance to beat Trump and transform this country.

Where can I send you a copy of my book?

Friends -

I would like you to read the book I wrote after our first campaign for president, which is titled Our Revolution. It is an account of the campaign we built together, and a blueprint for the kind of future we can build together for our country.

And for this week only, we are doing something quite radical: we'll send you a copy of Our Revolution for a donation of ANY amount to our campaign for president.

We're doing this because it will help spread the message of our political revolution, and we'll put 100% of the proceeds directly into our campaign. So where can we send your book?

Make a contribution — OF ANY AMOUNT — to our campaign today and we'll send you a copy of my book, Our Revolution. Most people give around $12. This offer will only last for a limited time.

GET BERNIE'S BOOK

There will be some folks who might only be able to afford to contribute a lot less than the book cost us, and that's fine. I want them to read the book. There might even be some people who contribute $1 because they want to cost our campaign money.

So be it — I hope they enjoy the book too.

But if you can contribute more, we would appreciate it. You'll help defray the cost of the book for others and power our political revolution ahead of this critical FEC deadline before voting starts in Iowa.

So what do you say?

Make a contribution — OF ANY AMOUNT — to our campaign today and we'll send you a copy of my book, Our Revolution.

What we are building together on this campaign is extraordinary. While other candidates are taking money from billionaires or holding high-dollar fundraisers, we are changing our country with millions of small contributions.

Thank you for making one today for Our Revolution if you can.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

A huge threat emerged today

The situation: Joe Biden's big-money super PAC bought television ad time in Iowa this morning. They're set to go on the air in an effort to move working-class voters away from Bernie and our campaign to theirs in the final weeks before the caucus.

The problem: These super PACs can take unlimited sums of money from anyone and don't have to disclose those donors until well after the damage is done.

Our job: This is a huge threat to our campaign and we have to fight back. And the way we do that is by generating as many donations as we possibly can.

The ask:

Can you make a $2.70 contribution to our campaign to help us fight back against Joe Biden's super PAC? This is such an important moment for our campaign.

Our thanks: This isn't a campaign funded by rich people trying to buy an election to protect their profits and the status quo. This is a campaign powered by young people and working people who want change. And if we keep fighting, we are going to win.

Thank you,

Faiz Shakir
