From Bernie Sanders to All of You

Alan -

When we started this campaign, we were down almost 50 points in New York — the state where Hillary Clinton was elected to two terms in the U.S. Senate.

We didn’t get the victory we had hoped for this evening, but what’s important is that it looks like we’re going to win a lot more delegates in New York than any state that voted or caucused before tonight.

So what does that mean? Five important states vote one week from tonight, with more delegates at stake than Hillary Clinton led by coming into tonight. And if we do well next Tuesday, we remain in a position to take the pledged delegate lead when almost 700 delegates are up for grabs on June 7.

As you read this, thousands of supporters are responding to tonight’s results with contributions because they believe we can win. I need to know if I can count on you to add yours.

From the day we started this campaign, the corporate media counted us out. The political establishment and financial elite organized against us. But every great movement in American history faced many of the same obstacles and eventually won because of a simple, timeless human truth: when people come together, when they stand together even through adversity, they win.

And so will we.

In solidarity

The NRA matched thier previous contribution. They thought he was GOP based on his gun law voting history.

I haven't followed the history but he's rejected donations from creeps previously and really frosted Shkreli that way.

My point was his history of voting with thr GOP on gun issues.
Including the legislation protecting manufacturer from lawsuit.
I used to believe he was different but he is still a politician

Yah and this is so important relative to those who get high-dollar payoffs from Goldman Sachs (i.e.everyone else).

WOW I thought gun issues was,a,huge item with you. As they need to go away to stop the killings. But as usual, it is now not a big deal because your guy isnt trying to stop it.
It is ok because someone else is doing something worse.
You always blame everyone else or point to someone else doing something worse.
You list that I must have underlying issues as to why I wrote in your comments.,
I just point out discrepancies.
I will stop as you will soon start calling me names and threatening to kill me.
