1. For a reason I don't know, I am banned from posting in the Warren Group, which is fine, but it sure

doesn't encourage one in that situation to want to contribute to her campaign.

Also, what reason would I want to go through ActBlue and not directly to her website to make a donation?

I think going through ActBlue will add a ton of emails I am not anxious to receive, while going through Senator Warren's site directly, will provide only correspondence from Senator Warren.

At least that is what has happened with other candidates I donate to

2. Her website uses ActBlue for donations too

Use our link or straight through her site, it makes no difference your using ActBlue. Either way you are asked IF you want to leave a tip to ActBlue. You will not get additional emails by using our link.

The only difference is our link tracks what was donated through our link. Daily Kos also has a link to donate as does the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC). You can see the list here: https://secure.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/73646

No idea why you can't post in the Warren group. You might ask Autumn.

4. ah, you're right Steve. Just selecting Donate it isn't obvious, but when you look at the URL,

it portals through Actblue. It isn't so much that I am against going directly to Actblue, I am just somewhat hesitant that I will get a inundated with emails from other candidates or causes, verse if I directly go to the candidates website. At least that is what it appeared to me.

Appreciate the information.

There was a post from the group discussing where Senator Warren was discussing how some high tech companies were getting too big, and needed to be broken up, and when I was going to reply to the OP, and that is when I found out I was blocked.

I really didn't take it personally, and would understand if I was trashing Senator Warren or in violation of the group, which if I did I sure don't recall.

I will send a message to the Admin over there per your suggestion.

Thanks
