With the recent worries from the community about organizations taking advantage of fund raising I think it should be made more clear how freeople.com handles donations to both groups and candidates....
1 - Candidates sign up and can choose their own method of fund delivery (wire transfer, regular mail, overnight courier, or paypal)
2 - Freeople transaction fees are lower than any online political community.
3 - Transaction fees are charged per transaction so that donating to multiple candidates/groups within one transaction maximizes the money that goes to the candidates/groups.
4 - Candidates can utilize freeople.com tools to completely run their online fund raising effort if they choose. Or just utilize it as an additional avenue for fund raising.
5 - Freeople provides candidates with complete FEC compliant donor records.
Remember donations can be set up for groups in a fashion similar to "chip-in" as well.
Ultimately the goal is to provide tools for candidates seeking office and grassroots groups, by helping them reduce campaign expenses and maximize their interactivity with each other and potential voters.
All of that plus an online community with articles, blogs, forums, chat room, comments, candidate rating system, and a member point system for participating within the site.
Yeah... I kinda like it, can you tell. :-)
Hopefully there will be no further site problems, but as with most new websites with extensive features such as these there is bound to be some initial growing pains.
