https://secure.actblue.com/about

We want as many groups as possible to be able to create strong grassroots fundraising programs. Our platform is available to Democratic candidates and committees, progressive organizations, and nonprofits that share our values for no cost besides a 3.95% processing fee on donations. And we operate as a conduit, which means donations made through ActBlue to a campaign or organization are considered individual donations. You can read more about our structure here.

https://support.actblue.com/donors/about-actblue/how-much-does-it-cost-campaigns-and-organizations-to-use-your-tools/

And this: How much does it cost campaigns and organizations to use your tools?
We want as many campaigns and organizations on the left to be able to use our grassroots fundraising tools as possible, which is why there is no cost for groups to use our tools ( we're a nonprofit!). We pass along a 3.95% processing fee on contributions to the groups using our platform. Completing a contribution involves costs related to processing your credit card. We’re legally required to pass along processing costs to the campaign so that we do not make in-kind contributions to them.

As a nonprofit, we use tips from donors to pay our bills. You can add an optional tip for us on the contribution form when you enter your credit card information.

In "Trump World" that would earn you an ambassadorship at some nice place in the world that's not a sh*t-hole!
Can we have a drawing here at DU to see who gets the first ambassadorship?
And remember - NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!!!!



PS: Word is if we can double that we could be talking about a Cabinet seat!!!!! GOOD-BYE, BETSY!!!!!!!!!
