Stop the Use of Pre-Paid Credit Cards for Political Campaign Contributions

Why Is This Idea Important?: Pre-paid credit cards could be used by foreign governments and individuals and by domestic individuals to bypass our election laws. They should not be an acceptable option to contribute to campaigns as there is no name or address attached to the card.

Pre-paid credit cards that are used to make political contributions pose many problems. Since the cards are not traceable to the user, people/governments can use these cards to circumvent laws with regard to foreign contributions and individual maximum contributions in political campaigns.

    All efforts to curb self-interest by forbidding it drive it underground and essentially hide it.

    Nothing will actually stop it.

    While I understand the goal, it is out of reach. Continued efforts merely complicate hiding which in turn complicates finding.
