Related: About this forumCan 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:

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.

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?
