ActBlue disabled their credit card verification process so that as long as the card numbers are valid, the name and address don't need to match the actual card owner's.
No other donation platform allows this, and it results in higher transaction fees.
Why?
My research on this was the basis of the report from Take Back America that was publicized on Fox News.
This is a chart I created that was part of the report.
Employer is required to be reported, but if you are donating in the name of someone you don't know, you probably don't know the name of their actual employer - so you leave it blank, report retired/unemployed.
Want to know what you can do about this? Please sign up to get info from the organization I founded, Look Ahead America (@LookAheadOrg).
We fight for disaffected rural and blue collar patriots, election integrity, and #JusticeforJ6.
🧵Today, I got a message from supporter of @LookAheadOrg disheartened by the continued over-prosecution and unfair treatment of nonviolent participants in the J6 protests and disappointed our org was not able to do more.
I shared the disappointment, and this was my response:
@LookAheadOrg Look Ahead America did not exist on January 6th, 2021.
Despite that, we let the fight for Justice for J6 this way:
- Held 70 rallies and vigils to successfully reshape public opinion about is happening. This was a measurable shift.
@LookAheadOrg - Built the most comprehensive database of the political prisoners, including data on how donors could support them.
Short analysis of the voting location issues in Maricopa and how they affected Ds versus Rs.
1. It's not possible to precisely analyze if the issues happened disproportionately to Republicans based on voting location because voters had the option to vote anywhere in the county; they were not restricted on where they could vote based on their home precinct.
2. The data to analyze what the partisan leaning of a polling location is not available. Results are not tabulated by polling location and the location where someone voted is not tabulated, so we can't analyze based on voting location election results or party reg of voters.
My point here isn't that Americans should rise up against our government, but to make plain how poorly our president (and so many others) understand the nature of warfare.
Every mess we've been in since Vietnam has been caused by this mindset. 🧵
An unpopular empire can be overthrown with a single pistol.
A pretty girl gives a lone sentry a smile, distracting him long enough for a fellow partisan to put one bullet in his skull and then seize his automatic rifle. Rinse, repeat, you outfit an army.
F-15s (and now F-22s/F-35s) are no substitute for winning over the hearts and minds of a people. They can't hold ground, they're just expensive targets for the enemy.
I want to extend my gratitude to @joekent16jan19 for giving me the rare opportunity to run at full speed.
Joe gave this race absolutely everything he had and it inspired those of us on his team to do the same, and this was a legendary accomplishment. Let me tell you why:
🧵
Jaime Herrera Beutler was, without a doubt, the most difficult impeachment voter to dislodge. Unlimited money due to her position on the approps committee, unlimited dark money thanks to McCarthy's determination to save her,
a MAGA-right split between three (!) candidates, the largest electorate of any primary in the country (and therefor the most expensive to mail, door knock, etc.), the complications of a jungle primary, and twelve years of Republicans in the habit of voting for JHB.
It probably wasn't easy for all of those people in her constituency to get to that location. But her chauffeured car couldn't get her out fast enough.
A member that cared for her constituency would have pulled up a chair, whipped out a notebook, and told them to form a line so
she could take their names, contact info, and what they needed, and then her and her staff would bust their ass until everyone got the answers and help they needed.
For the last 2 years, I've committed buying only things made in the USA unless absolutely impossible. I've made a lot of good discoveries I'll share in this thread which I will keep updated.
I inherited an old pair from my grandfather and bought a new pair for myself. Their aviators were my Christmas gift for clients this year and I wear them every day. I got a set of their frames for my RX as well.
