PERSONAL SECURITY

It’s only a matter of time before Trump tries to weaponize America’s intelligence agencies against the opposition and people he considers to be domestic enemies. We’re unlikely to know how well he succeeds in perverting these agencies.

For this reason, I would like to see ActBlue drop its requirement that political donors provide their email address.

I don't believe that ActBlue requires a phone number. I don't see how they could run without emails, though.

Do tell, why do they need an email?

I just checked my profile. Phone number is labeled "optional" and I have never listed mine there.

Thanks! I’ll correct my post. But, imho, it ought to be possible to make a donation without providing one’s email address.

They probably need some sort of identifying info so as to stop obvious ways of trying to circumvent campaign finance limits.

Of course! I’m pretty sure name and physical address is sufficient.
