Obama's 2008 campaign web site was notable in that its credit card arm did did require any security info. the AVS [address verification system] was turned off, and there was no requirement for the 3-digit security code from the back of the credit card. many thousands of dollars were donated from the Gaza Strip, and a Missouri woman was shocked to find out that campaign finance records showed her donating $174K with her credit card. none of those funds ever showed up on her bill.
I decided to test this, so I went to the Obama campaign site last night. I offered a $3.00 donation with a credit card. it asked for my name, address, employer, and occupation.
I entered this info--
Joseph V. Stalin
Executive Suite, the Kremlin
No. 2, Red Square
Moscow
Employer: Communist Party of the Soviet Union
Job: General Secretary
after waiting a bit, I logged onto my credit card account site, and I was indeed charged $3.00.
try it yourselves, even $1 or $2 would be enough. be creative in choice of names and addresses, naturally.
It would be trivially easy to acquire prepaid debit cards, and donate millions to the Obama campaign, entering the actual names and addresses of
American citizens.
Hmm....which foreign entities would like to keep Obama in power for another four years? How about Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela?? might they consider $50 or $100 million a solid investment in keeping their guy in power?
