I just spoke to Sheriff Mack and was advised that PayPal has frozen that portion of the funds donated through PayPal ($40,000+) for the Constitutional Sheriff's Conference. PayPal has refused to release the funds and have stated that they may refund the donations to the donors. They have cited no violation of law or online regulation. They inquired if CSPOA.org was a 501C(3) and excused their actions on fear that the IRS would fine them. Apparently someone opposing sheriffs learning they are not alone in their desire to live up to their oaths of office is involved.

If you can’t climb the mountain,go around it....donate via money order.
If you can’t climb the mountain,go around it....donate via money order,debit card,credit card,something else.Get the money to them any way you can.
You never leave funds in a PayPal account one minute longer than is absolutely necessary. They’re known for pulling this kind of crap.
PING
I’ve recently set up an account for a political group I’m with. It was an ordeal to get everything worked out. But I can’t imagine Paypal setting up an account for a group they thought was illegal. To seize their money after the fact is nothing more than theft. And I have no doubt Sheriff Mack won’t let this stand.
In the meantime, I guess I’m going to have to figure out another way to contribute to FR...
They have a political dirty tricks gig going. Would not trust them AT ALL.
Those Sheriffs should open investigations into Paypal laundering drug money in their counties...
Thanks for that link. I’ll look into dwolla as an alternative. Otherwise, I’m going back to writing checks!
Just yesterday I posted an article in which PayPal had screwed with some organization or site (???) because it was against the fag agenda. The owner of PayPal is a homosexual hardcore leftist POS.
PayPal is a terrible blight on free enterprise. They will abuse anyone. Stay clear of them. Ebay needs to find an alternative.
