I gave $100 to "Friends of Scott Walker" on 4/2 using my Am Ex card. My card payments are current have been for decades. American Express sent me a snail-mail letter saying, they 'had a concern about 'possible fraudulent use of my card' - and STOPPED THE CONTRIBUTION. I called them, asked for an explanation, they said I'd need to resubmit it. Anyone else have this "problem"?
I appreciate your view. Am just putting it out there, to see if it perhaps happened to others supporting Walker.
We live in the age of the “culture of corruption,” just wanted some feedback. Thanks to eFreeRyone who responded.
I had a problem like this with a local candidate just this week. But mine is a credit union debit card! Good thing I was on my way to hid hq. I made a cash donation in person. Things that make you go hmmmmmm.
Why are you using amex!?!?!
Giving a politician your credit card number is problematic based on history. Recurring charges will later show up. This goes back to the reason Lyndon Larouche served jail time after the 88 elections. Since then they all do it.

Sorry, I’ve been contributing to conservative Republicans routinely using credit cards (mainly American Express) for years and have NEVER had a problem with recurring charges. So NO, they all don’t “do it”.
Support your favorite conservatives as much as you can.
Amex has a quirky algorithm for detecting fraud that has frustrated me on occasion over the years. I appreciate the protection, but the logic is sometimes missing. One time I purchased something from a sketchy site in Eastern Europe with no problems. Hours later, I bought something from Amazon and bam, brick wall. Just a touch wacky.
