Is it easier to donate illegally to the Obama campaign or the man I’m voting for.McCain?



From a visitor to The Corner at the National Review Online:

So I went to the Obama website this afternoon and clicked on the “Donate” button.

I used my real MasterCard number (but was not asked for the 3 digit security code).

Used the following information and it was accepted…

First name: Fake
Last Name: Donor
Address: 1 Dollar To Prove A Point
City: Fraudulent
State: AL
Zip / Post: 33333
Email Address: allmyinfoismadeup@mediabias.com
Phone Number: 2125551212
Employer: Mainstream Media
Occupation: Being in the Tank

And incredibly, my $5 donation was ACCEPTED!!!

I then went to the McCain site and used the exact same information (and WAS asked for the 3 digit security code for my MasterCard). There, my contribution was rejected with the following message: “Your transaction was not approved for the following reason(s): Invalid data”, and then: “We have found errors in the information that you have submitted. Please review the information below and try again.”

I have screen shots and printouts of all of this as well.

Please tell me what I can do with this information? Is this a violation of FEC law by the Obama Campaign? How do we publicize this???

    Contact the McCain campaign!!

    Maybe he can talk about you in his next campaign appearance, referring to you as Aunt Acid the fake donor. He’s pretty desperate so I’m pretty sure he’ll go for that.

    lmao!

    It must be asier to donate to Obama illegally, as you found, because he has a mountain of scrilla.

    I’ve just sent my last donation to McCain a few days ago and felt like I was being interrogated in order to make my donation. You’re right.

    Geeez, and have you noticed? Anyone who contributes to McCain is public knowledge, unlike slick Obama who gets most of his donations from outside of this country.

  4. Mama for Obama Says:

    I believe the Republicans have already launched an investigation through the FEC.

    If there is really anything illegal going on, they will let us know.

  5. Oprah's Wicked Revenge on Wh Says:

    Email me please. (I just added you as a contact). It is important that this be made known to at least McCain’s campaign HQ’s.

    DEMS ARE SO HUNGRY FOR CHANCE THAT THEY ARE THINKING WITH THEIR HEART AND NOT WITH THEIR MINDS AND YES IT IS ILLEGAL TO RAISE MORE MONEY THAN THE OTHER EVEN WHY THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT LITTLE THINGS GO ALONE WITH ELECTION FUNDS

    I don’t think there has been anything legal about obama’s campaign from the beginning of his political career. I don’t think there is anything legal about his education.

    I heard he is also accepting car stereo systems, Lone Star cards and nice ***** pipes… You can report this, but no one is really going to listen. Try the FEC, email your senators, email the McCain camp, I would start emailing it to any email you can find on a news or other site - you need to attach the screen shots though. Call the new stations we have a local channel that gets information like this out. You can also make a video and put it on youtube.
