But I am slammed every day by no-name "organizations" that simply say "ICE is killing people. Send us some money." They never say who they are or what my donation might be used for. They are just scams, and they are poisoning the well for all the legitimate candidates that need our support. I don't know if ActBlue is feeding those scammers. Perhaps somebody could invite the head of ActBlue to contribute an article to DU explaining what they really do and what they do with our contact info.

The ACtBlue CEO is Regina Wallace-Jones. It seems like it would be in everyone's interest for her to make a guest appearance at this forum to set the record straight.
