Can they put PayPal on Obama website for donations?

I would feel more comfortable in donating online through something like PayPal rather than using a credit card. It is easier to set up a monthly donation with PayPal. What do you think?

I think this is what was being referenced:

http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/pxxcl/paypal_founder_gives_17_million_to_ron_paul_super/

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2012/02/presidential-and-super-pac-fundraising/1#.T0R7sfEgdVt

A report filed earlier today showed PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel donated $1.7 million last month to a super PAC supporting one of Romney's GOP rivals, Ron Paul.

Overall, Thiel has donated $2.6 million to Endorse Liberty, created last year to aid the Texas representative.


The title of the article has been changed, but the meat is still in the article.

especially with their co-founder sponsoring a racist homophobes. I hope, well the
Obama campaign is too smart for that anyway.

I guess PayPal isn't the only one. Otherwise I will buy stamps and mail it?
