Friends -
First, a Wall Street-funded group of corporate Democrats called Third Way ran ads against Bernie in early voting states — before we even announced our campaign.
Next, one of their board members started raising big money for Joe Biden.
Now, just days before our first debate, their president is on a media tour saying that our campaign is "an existential threat."
In just a few days, we will file our numbers for the quarter, and the political and financial establishment are hoping we come up short.
So before our first debate and our fundraising deadline this week, we need to do all we can to prove them wrong. Can you help?
Third Way's entire job is to tell Democrats to be more conservative.
Erasing student debt? Bad for Wall Street. So they oppose that idea.
Medicare for All? Bad for health insurance companies. So they oppose that idea too.
Raising pay for teachers? They brag about cutting pay for public employees. So again, no.
Breaking up big banks? Don't even get them started.
So yes, we are an existential threat to anyone who thinks the way to win back the White House is by doing the bidding of Wall Street. Finally, Third Way is correct about something.
Our FEC fundraising deadline this week is a big one. Everyone — especially these guys — is going to see the numbers we report. And we need to be able to show just how powerful we are.
Thank you for all you do for Bernie — and for our movement.
In solidarity,
Faiz Shakir
Campaign Manager
