The other candidates in this race cannot keep up with our record number of individual donations.

Friends -

In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a contribution to our campaign before tonight's FEC deadline comes to a close. I hope that you will give me a chance to explain why this request — especially today — is so important to our campaign.

Here is the truth:

The other candidates in this race cannot keep up with our record number of individual donations. So now their super PACs are stepping in.

So we're seeing $12 million from this super PAC over here, millions more from that super PAC over there, super PACs that exist just to run negative ads against us, and reports of more super PACs on the way.

This level of spending is outrageous, and we run the risk of getting outspent in the states that follow Super Tuesday.

But if you can help, today, it ain't gonna work. We're going to win. So here's the part where I ask:

Can you make a $2.70 contribution to our campaign before our FEC fundraising deadline comes to an end at midnight tonight? This is the most important deadline of the race.

This deadline is almost over now, so let's make sure we have some good numbers out there after it ends. Any help that you can give our campaign would be greatly appreciated.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders
