Something going on with DU for Bernie Act Blue link

Donate here: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforbernie

We made our goal for the month at $9,000. That keeps our average at $3,000 a month!

We had one donation that was cancelled.

There has been an increase in new donors.

There has been a large increase in pledged recurring donations.

This is the current pledged amount spread over the next year: $5,242.00

Somebody donates one place, then another, then realizes they've gone past the max allowed under law, and has to cancel out one or another. Not a problem I'll have. Much as I like Bernie, I can't afford to donate anywhere near the max.
