Is there a way to make a donation to Rand Paul without going through WinRed?
Rand Paul’s X account lists https://randpaul.com so one would assume this is his official web page. Is it? A DuckDuckGo search gives the same result. The emails I get, which purport to be from Rand Paul, also lead there. But when I go to the donation page there’s a disclaimer way down at the bottom which states:
Where is the donation page that IS authorized by Rand Paul or his committee?
I hate WinRed. Making a donation through them guarantees a massive uptick in spam begging donations for republicans I have no intention of supporting. It takes forever to delete and block it all. This was not always the case when I made a donation.
Somewhere along the line, I realized that the emails I was getting for Thomas Massie were also coming from WinRed - they somehow snuck-in and for a while I was making donations to Massie through them without noticing it. After realizing I was part of what I consider a scam, I found it IS possible to donate to Tom Massie without using spammy middleman WinRed, but I can’t find a link that would allow me to cut WinRed out of my donations to Rand Paul.
I find it hard to believe Rand has intentionally chosen to only take donations through spam-monger WinRed?
Can anyone direct me to a method of discovering the way to donate to Rand Paul without involving this, or any other pain-in-the-ass third party?

EDIT: This is my first time back since the site change and I'm finding everything very garbledy. I notice that this post does not show up under the "New Posts" function. Why is that? This makes me worry that it won't be getting many views. Perhaps it was a mistake to post it in the Rand Paul forum? Since the topic is more accurately about how to make a political donation without going through a third party - a political issue not entirely unique to Rand Paul - perhaps it would've been more effective to post it under political news. Considering reposting in political news forum. (Hmm this post is currently listed as having had 2 views, but I suspect they are both from me?)
