Franklin Square Capital plans Clinton gala
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will visit Philadelphia on Jan. 27 for a fund-raiser hosted by a group that includes lawyer-turned-investment mogul Michael C. Forman and former State Rep. Michael Gerber (D., Mont.) at their $17 billion "alternative investments" firm, Franklin Square Capital Partners.
Rocker Jon Bon Jovi will play an acoustic set for donors - including "friends," who give at least $1,000; "family," couples and kids, who get their photos snapped with the candidate for $2,700 (that's also the limit donors may give to each of the primary and general elections); and "hosts," who bundle $27,000 in contributions.
I suggested a tangent fundraiser in comments. So, money where mouth is.
Recommend using ActBlue BNR for Bernie (thanks, Liepar) but Sanders page will do. Just do it. Whatever you can, Sanders supporters, let’s keep that “playing field” level.
fwiw, I won’t be able to “sit” this diary, will ✔ later.
[update] noting that many of us can’t cut a $52 check, I’m bolding the important 1st sentence from this just-in email from Sanders:
xxxxxxx -
Today is one of the last days to contribute and have it go towards our campaign in Iowa, and that’s why I have to ask you directly: can I count on you to make a $52 contribution to our campaign right now? You can do that here:

When we started our campaign, the polls had us down 41 points in Iowa and no one thought we had a chance. Now, with days to go, we are only down two points with a very real chance to win.
Your contribution will also help us reach 3 million individual contributions before the caucus, a historic achievement that will demonstrate the size and strength of our campaign as we move forward to New Hampshire and beyond.
In solidarity,
Bernie
