Democrats Abroad In Argentina For Bernie Sanders

The final results are in from Nevada and it looks like we’re going to leave another state with roughly the same number of delegates as Hillary Clinton, maybe down just a few.

I want to be completely clear with you about what this result means: Nevada was supposed to be a state "tailor made" for the Clinton campaign, and a place she once led by almost 40 points. But today, we sent a message that will stun the political and financial establishment of this country: our campaign can win anywhere.

There are 26 primaries and caucuses in the next month, and three straight positive results for our campaign are sure to prompt an over-the-top response from the millionaires and billionaires who are funding our opponent and her many super PACs.

We have to be prepared for their best shot, because it’s coming

We’re closing the gap dramatically in states that have yet to vote, and there’s a path to victory for our political revolution. If we continue to stand together, we’ll continue to win.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

We are in the midst of a stretch where 27 states will vote or caucus as part of the Democratic primary, with over 2,000 delegates up for grabs. It’s no exaggeration to say this is the most important stretch of our campaign.

Secretary Clinton’s supporters are responding: her campaign is holding at least a dozen high-dollar fundraisers this week, including one last night where some donors bundled $27,000. And one of her Wall Street-funded super PACs has spent millions of dollars to influence a number of the upcoming primaries.

They’re responding this way because we have pulled within a few points in the national polls and ended up winning the Latino vote in Nevada. If we can keep it up, we are going to win. But we can’t stop. Not now. Not when we are so close and with so much on the line.

Yes, Wall Street has enormous economic and political power. Yes, Wall Street has made HUGE contributions to the Clinton campaign and their super PACs. Yes, they have an endless surplus of money.

But we have something they don’t have. And that is millions of working families standing together and demanding change. If we keep moving forward together, we are going to win.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders
 
Blah blah blah. Sanders is doing fine fundraising wise. He's just learning you can't buy black voters.
 
Dear Janis,

Bernie supporters who are living abroad have a special role to play in this election.

Between March 1st and March 8th, Americans around the world will have the chance to vote for Bernie in the "Global Presidential Primary."

The Global Presidential Primary doesn't get a lot of attention, but it's important. To win the Democratic nomination, you need to win the majority of delegates awarded. Right now, Bernie is down by just a single pledged delegate, and in the Global Presidential Primary, 13 delegates are up for grabs.

We can win this thing – but only if Bernie's supporters abroad help out.

When you sign up, we'll make sure you have all the crucial information about the Global Presidential Primary. We'll also keep you in the loop on everything you can do to build this political revolution all around the world.

Americans living abroad can vote in person at various polling places around the world on select days and times between March 1st and March 8th. You can also vote by mail, fax, or email.

If you have any questions as we move ahead, please don't hesitate to reach out at [email protected]

In solidarity,

Team Bernie

P.S. Please forward this email on to any other Bernie supporters overseas that you might know – we need as many people as possible on board!

Just days before the Iowa caucus, Hillary Clinton left the campaign trail for a high-dollar fundraiser at a hedge fund. That same hedge fund is a major investor in fracking, an incredibly destructive practice of extracting natural gas by pumping hundreds of secret chemicals into the ground.

Hillary Clinton supports fracking. I do not.

And just as I believe you can't take on Wall Street while taking their money, I don't believe you can take on climate change effectively while taking money from those who would profit off the destruction of the planet.

Dick Cheney pushed through changes to the Safe Drinking Water Act that legalized fracking, despite the fact that fracking companies keep the chemicals they pump into the ground a secret.

People who live near fracking locations no longer have drinkable water, and in some cases their tap water is actually flammable. Oklahoma has even seen a rash of earthquakes that many believe are a result of fracking.

In short, fracking is a disaster for the planet.

We need a president who is not beholden to special interests and who will do everything in his or her power to fight the effects of climate change. It's clear that to elect that kind of president, millions of people need to come together and chip in whatever they can.

We can’t afford to let people who would destroy our planet elect our next president.

Thank you for your support.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders
 
Wow Clinton 74 to 26 overall in South Carolina. 86 to 14 among African American voters. Just goes to show that you can't sell the candidate of impotent white rage to a minority voter.
 
We did very well tonight, Janis. It's all thanks to you.

We started off the night winning Vermont, then we won Oklahoma and Colorado, and moments ago they called Minnesota for us as well. FOUR big victories for our political revolution tonight.

No one thought we would get this far. You proved them wrong. Working people are coming together and voting for Bernie in states across the country. They are contributing small amounts of money so we can compete with the millionaires and billionaires bankrolling Hillary Clinton’s campaign and her largest super PACs.

Our campaign needs to be prepared for whatever comes next. I can assure you that our opponent's billionaires and lobbyists will do everything they can to stop our campaign in the twelve caucuses or primaries in the next two weeks.

You should be extraordinarily proud of what we accomplished tonight … and we’re just getting started. People should not underestimate us.

In solidarity,

You're throwing your money away as surely as they donors who backed Bush.

Sanders out spent Clinton in most Super Tuesday states and yet was soundly trounced. Except for the very whitest districts he has been unable to buy votes with his record fundraising.

Amazing how he can claim to have done well last night when in reality it was a brutal slaughter. Reminds me of Rubio.

This is what we’re up against, Janis: last month, the Clinton campaign held almost sixty fundraising events. They've often held these events with hedge fund managers, fracking interests, pharmaceutical executives, and other industries with business before the government.

Meanwhile, their Wall Street-funded super PAC spent ridiculous amounts of money to tip the balance in their favor in Super Tuesday states, and the trend continues in a number of contests happening over the next two weeks.

But what the billionaire class has yet to realize is that in this election, their obscene wealth is their weakness. Part of the reason we are doing so well and exceeded expectations last night is because the American people have had ENOUGH of a corrupt campaign finance system being used to buy our candidates and elections.

Our campaign is funded almost exclusively by 4.8 million individual contributions made by people like you. So we’ve set an important new goal: reaching 5 million individual contributions by the time Michigan votes in six days.

When it comes to taking on Donald Trump in November, one thing is clear: Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike are sick of the influence of big money in politics. We cannot afford to give Trump the upper-hand on this issue. It could be decisive.

Last night, Secretary Clinton said she was ready for this primary to be over, and if you listen to some of our friends in the political establishment and corporate media, it sounds like they're ready for the same.

Well, let me remind you of how many times they've told us our path was too difficult: in Iowa, they said it when we were down almost 50 points. And again when we were down 44 in New Hampshire, 28 in Colorado, and double digits in Minnesota.

Today begins the most important seven-day stretch of our campaign: tonight, Michigan votes. Next week, Illinois, Ohio, Florida, Missouri, and North Carolina follow suit.

If we continue to stand together and fight, what we are going to do in this next week is what we've done throughout this entire campaign: we are going to share our message with the American people, and we are going to shock the establishment.

I want you to imagine a world eight years from now where nobody who works 40 hours a week lives in poverty, health care is a right for all Americans, kids of all backgrounds can go to college without crushing debt, there is no bank too big to fail, no banker too powerful to jail, and we've reclaimed our democracy from the billionaire class.

That is what our campaign is about, and why it is so important we keep fighting. Because if we do, we are going to win.

Real change comes about when large numbers of ordinary Americans speak, vote and get involved in the democratic process. If we stand together, we win. If we are divided, the big-money interests win.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders
