I finally had to use my phone to donate..

AND, there is a sneaky little toggle that says ‘make this weekly’ -

you have to jump through hoops to cancel that out...

Curious; on my desktop it is just a mouse click to cancel that and another click to cancel doubling the amount. I forgot to check out on that monthly box early on but they sent me a warning email with the option to cancel just before the next scheduled 'give'... but I never forgot after that.

I have donated a lot (small amounts) on WinRed and I use a card that I have to regularly deposit money to cover any charges; a monthly donation would only result in the card being overcharged, i.e. canceled. Being a regular contributor to many campaigns, I am getting between 60 and 100 solicitations a day from various; tedious to sort them out of other mail and delete them! I have to be brutal or I would go broke. Every 'ask' is naturally a desperate last chance.

I have started responding once or twice saying that if money is what is required to win an election and issues carry no weight then the Republic is in jeopardy any way. I am a big proponent of donating to candidates because if we rank and file do not then they go to the big money PACs or whatever and we lose our voice -- but the demand is overwhelming; whatever happened to winning on the issues? Trump managed it and survived on small donors like myself.
