Would it be possible for HQ to modify the donations page on the official campaign website to make it possible to schedule donations in much the same way I schedule recurring payments on my utility bills?
I would like to be able to schedule donations, say $100.00 every friday for the next 5-6 weeks. I cant afford to commit the money all in one donation and I am afraid I will forget to donate when I have the money. I think there are a lot of people on a budget that would do the same thing.
It would also help out with money bombs if supporters could log on now, and schedule their donation for a specific date and time and just have it automatically happen. I would think that this would also relieve a lot of the stress on the website on big donation days because you could schedule your donation in advance and not crash the web server with everyone trying to get on all at once.
I really hope the campaign will consider implementing this idea. I think it will make a difference in consistent donations/cashflow and not killing the servers with moneybombs.
