A chance to explain

Today is one of the most significant days of our campaign for president.

Friends -

In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make one of the most important donations to our campaign for president. Please give me a chance to explain why this request — especially today — is so critical to our success.

You see, today is one of the most significant days of our campaign. It is the last FEC fundraising deadline of the campaign before voting starts.

And what we raise before tonight's midnight deadline is going to fund our campaign in Iowa, in New Hampshire, and in other states around the country.

So if you have been waiting for just the right time to make a contribution to our campaign, please do it before midnight.

Because when this deadline ends, we're going to not only release our fundraising numbers, but we're going to review those numbers and make our final budget plans. So this is important, and it is why I have to ask:

Can I count on you to make a $2.70 contribution to OUR campaign for president? It does not get much more important than reaching our fundraising goals before this deadline ends.

Every single donation we receive between now and midnight moves us one step closer to winning this nomination. So thank you — thank you so much for being such an important part of our victory.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders
