I donated $27.00 to Hillary last night....it felt good!

It wasn't the first time I donated $27.00 to a campaign. Bernie got to me long ago. After a couple of the debates and a few times after big primaries I was motivated to donate to Bernie. It was never more than $27.00, sometimes less, but it was a tangible way to show support.

Hillary has that support now. My $27.00 is less than a drop in the bucket, but it damn sure made me feel good to give it. I am all in for Hillary/Kaine in 2016!

that the overwhelming majority of Democrats are behind Hillary. A few loud mouths who want attention should not be the focus, focus on how strongly we support Hillary!

Just ask Bernie!

The max an individual can give now to her campaign as our official nominee is $2,700.

Maybe the Christmas books will tell us where the $27 meme originated? Heard it again this week, you know.
