Bernie's site uses Act Blue to raise funds when you click donate.
This link just tracks how much came in from the DU Act Blue for Bernie link. Currently $85.00
Bernie gets every dime except the processing fee by the credit card transaction by law.

Where does my money go?
It goes directly to the candidate or cause you specify when you give. Campaigns and organizations use the fundraising software on our site to enable you to make your contribution. We act as the conduit for your contribution, passing the donation on. The cost of processing the contribution (mostly credit card fees), comes out of your contribution. We are legally required to charge that fee.
As a non-profit, tips are how we pay our bills. We dont profit from the contributions going through our site. You can add your tip on the contribution form where you enter your credit card information.
Get it?

How do I do a search to see all the folks running group pages contributing to a given candidate, like that list you've got in the bottom half of your graphic?
I don't seem to see a search option for the site listed anywhere now. Used to be you could search by races, districts, states, candidate name, etc, to see who already had pages up and who didn't.
