I remember when I decided to support Barack Obama. It was in January of 2008. Whatever else I may have heard or read, one commercial won me over. Absurd? Sure, but that one commercial made me write the biggest check I have ever sent any cause. ONE commercial can make a difference. One donation — of any size — CAN make a difference. Together, WE can elect Bernie Sanders President of the United States in 2016. Don’t believe the naysayers. Vote for real change.
Sanders spends $2M on 1st ad campaign in Iowa, New Hampshire
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is spending $2 million on his first television ad campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire, casting himself as a longtime fighter against injustice and inequality.
The ad traces Sanders’ humble upbringing in Brooklyn, New York, and notes that he attended Dr. Martin Luther King’s March on Washington in 1963.
It tells viewers about his work as the mayor of a Vermont city and in Congress and says he’s now “taking on Wall Street and a corrupt political system.”
It points to the 1 million contributors to his campaign and shows footage of his large rallies around the nation.
It’s his first ad of his campaign to challenge front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.

As CNN put it, “The ad buy is a significant step for a campaign that started with a shoestring budget, though now the democratic socialist has a strong fundraising operation.”
