E-mail from sanders today:

 It’s no secret that when we started this campaign, we had no money, very little name recognition, and we were taking on the entire Democratic establishment in this country.So when a Democratic National Committee vice chair, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, was disinvited from our first debate after calling for more of them, people took notice.

And when Tulsi quit her post at the DNC to endorse our campaign, it sent shockwaves through the political establishment.For the last several months, Tulsi has been a tireless surrogate for our campaign. She has joined me at rallies, appeared in ads, and now we’re campaigning across California where almost every recent poll shows us within just a few points of Hillary Clinton.Today, I want to ask you to join me in accomplishing two goals: help us win in California on Tuesday and ensure Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is re-elected in November.

 Congresswoman Gabbard is one of the important voices of a new generation of leaders. As a veteran of the Iraq War, she understands the cost of war and is fighting to create a foreign policy that not only protects America but keeps us out of perpetual wars that we should not be in.Tulsi has been a great friend to our political revolution. And because of people like her, and people like you, we have a great chance to win California on Tuesday night and close this primary out strong. That’s why splitting your contribution today is so important.
