I am writing to ask you to make a $2.70 contribution to our campaign. Moments ago we found out the Walton family made a $200,000 contribution to a super PAC, and we are sure it wasn’t to support Bernie. We need your help to fight back.

Here comes the Walmart family… trying to buy another election

Friends -

Walmart workers have made more donations to our campaign than almost ANY other employer in the country.

These workers have made more than 5,063 contributions — with an average donation of just $12.

They're people giving what they can afford to fight for a better country.

But today we found out that the Walton family just dropped $200,000 in a super PAC to influence the Democratic primary — one we are sure is "very concerned" about Bernie's vision for America.

It would take 16,515 donations from Walmart workers to match that. And I am sure the Walton family is just getting started.

So today, we have to fight back — fight back for those Walmart workers whose voices are being silenced:

Can you make a $2.70 contribution to our campaign today as a way of saying you have had ENOUGH of the Walton family's greed and big-spending trying to buy our candidates and elections?

This, in a nutshell, represents so much of what is wrong with our dysfunctional campaign finance system. It's up to us to fight back — for Walmart workers, and for each other.

In solidarity,
