$1 Donation Blitz

[Exponent]

Because of the credit card companies who earn almost as much from these minuscule donations as the RP campaign does... you know... the big BANKS... the group of ruling elite we are supposed to be fighting against here.

Small one-dollar donations fund our enemy almost as much as they fund our own movement.

And you can donate 1300 times, and you will still show up on HQ's list as one donor, not 1300 donors.

That's why it is a really bad idea.

I don't think anyone is advocating that existing donors donate multiple times. Only new donors, and only once each.

And I seriously doubt that the profit the credit cards will make off of small donations is going to strengthen our enemy more than the donor numbers will strengthen us. Besides, I don't know if I really see the credit card companies as exactly being our enemy anyway. Maybe the creditors themselves (but even credit is an important part of a free market society), but the card companies themselves offer a valuable service. That they make a profit by offering an easier and more efficient way to manage and transfer money is not something that I care to criticize.

Great minds!

Or not. I guess people don't think we can get every supporter to donate a dollar?

Do you know how much FEC filing overhead this will create?

This campaign won't be won on gimmicks. Get with your MeetUps and find new supporters!

No, I don't? What do they have to do other than send in the database records?

That's exactly what I want to do, find new supporters and have them show their support with a token donation.
