I am with him. I believe he is honest, has integrity, and has experience- his record speaks for itself. In addition, he is intelligent, and has a good plan, one that will benefit America and the world.
I am an Italian immigrant and naturalized US citizen. I came to America in 1974. I have seen many US Presidents come and go, and I have never made a financial contribution to their campaigns. This time I donated to Bernie Sander's presidential campaign because I feel we need a President who stands for the people and not for special interests, and big corporations who have only one goal- profits- and don't care about us, our public's interests/health/well being and the environment. In addition, we do not want to continue to feed/support the monster, the huge war/weapon bellicose (war making) industry with our tax dollars- when we have almost 50 million who are living in poverty, and when our tax dollars could be better invested, and used in creating jobs by rebuilding/fixing our infrastructure (our schools, hospitals, roads, bridges, etc.) I am sick and tired of the status-quo, the same old stale/ineffective/greedy story of supporting the rich, the huge corporations, so that the economy will improve- they call it trickle down economics. I call it trickle down crumbs for me and you! We know it- it's well documented- look at the statistics- that trickle down economics is a lie! The rich are getting richer and the middle class and the poor are getting the crumbs! That is why I will support Bernie! See what Bernie has in store for America.
For many months I have been traveling from coast to coast across our country, and have had the opportunity to meet with thousands of good, hard-working, and remarkable people. Like you and me, they are deeply concerned about the future of our country.
They wonder why they are working longer hours for lower wages. They worry about whether their kids will be able to afford college or get decent jobs. They fear that they may not have the savings to retire with dignity and security.
The challenges facing our country are enormous. That's why I am running to become the next President of the United States.
You've already signed up to join our campaign, and for that I thank you. Can you take the next step and contribute $5 to our campaign?
It's not just that, for forty years, the middle class has been disappearing. It's that 99% of all new income is going to the top 1%, and the grotesque level of wealth and income inequality today is worse than at any time since the late 1920s. The people at the top are grabbing all the new wealth and income for themselves, and the rest of America is being squeezed and left behind.
The disastrous decisions of the Supreme Court in the Citizens United case and in other related decisions are undermining the very foundations of American democracy, as billionaires rig the system by using their Super PACs to buy politicians and elections.
And the peril of global climate change, with catastrophic consequences, is the central challenge of our times and our planet.
The middle class in America is at a tipping point. It will not last another generation if we don't boldly change course now.
After a year of travel, discussion and dialogue, I have decided to be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President. But let's be clear. This campaign is not about Bernie Sanders. It's about a grassroots movement of Americans standing up and saying: "Enough is enough. This country and our government belong to all of us, not just a handful of billionaires."
Our movement needs people like you involved to help it succeed. Contribute $5 now to support our campaign for president.
I run not to oppose any man or woman, but to propose new and far-reaching policies to deal with the crises of our times. And I run because I know we must change course now, or risk losing the future for so many to the interests of so few.
Let me be very honest. It may be too late to stop the billionaire class from trying to buy the Presidency and Congress. The forces of greed already may be too powerful.
But we owe it to our children and grandchildren to try. We owe it to them to make the fight and, through the power of our numbers, turn back this assault on the foundation of our democracy and our future.
We are at a moment of truth. We need to face up to the reality of where we are as a nation, and we need a mass movement of people to fight for change.
I believe America is ready for a new path to the future.
Please make a $5 contribution to our campaign now:

Sincerely,
Senator Bernie Sanders
I am...I hope you are! This man deserves a chance to save America from the war hawks, greedy and unethical influential people who corrupt and have bought our political system! For only one purpose...to make a profit! Not for the well being of our nation, but just so that their pockets are full of money!
