how do I tell if this is a legit link for donations?

[fed-up]

I copy/pasted a post from a comment on a Bernie post in my facebook feed-

In the comment it had this link to donate to Bernie:

https://secure.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/39795

someone made a comment to my post suggesting it was not a legitimate link

how do I know for sure?

thanks!

1. Why not just go directly to Bernie's site to make your donation?

2. Yes, this is a legitimate fundraising link.

The Sanders campaign uses ActBlue and this link is correct.

Whoever made that post either is ignorant or willfully attempting to confuse you and others.

5. they said they were unsure-I think they were trying to be helpful

But it is good for everyone to discuss these issues as there will be plenty of fake sites out there. THanks for your input.

7. so how does that make everything on ActBlue legit?

I am not sure how ActBlue works, does the Sanders campaign control all of it?

3. Act Blue is legit

In Fact why not use the DU Act Blue link and your donation will be included in our total donated to Bernie.

4. +1 This is a special link for DU members to show our donations as members here.

I think DU member Omaha Steve started this donation page for our group. Here is the link again:
