IF you have an Apple product, you can use Apple Pay at ActBlue. I never knew in the over 10 years of raising $ for D's at ActBlue because I don't have an Apple product.

(1,862 posts)2. Omaha Steve, I also have no experience with apple's ios.
But, I would like to understand more about what you do. I've become sceptical about act blue. I feel taken advantage of when I see the money being spent. We've all watched it sky rocket on both sides ( thanks to Citizens United) I'm a retired like many of us, but I want to support local people. I don't want to respond to the hundreds of texts that I get from every state. Although, there are lot of good people throwing their hats in the ring. I wish I could be more help. But I also think it is a carnival of waste. Tell me the ins and outs of raising money on DU, please.

When I tell people the DU has raised OVER $3.5 million, heads turn. I won't be doing as many candidates next year. I do have two links up for the midterms next year already. They are for the Blue Dot NE-2. Several pundits have this pegged as the most important race for the House.
ALL the links are here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218885532
